Yeosu Myodo, Busy Welcoming Tourists at Yi Sun-sin Bridge Observatory

Preparing to Welcome Guests While Creating Beautiful Seomseom Yeosu

Myeodo-dong, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do (Dongjang Seo Jeong-su) is busy preparing to welcome tourists by creating a flower garden at the historic site of the Yi Sun-sin Bridge Observatory, making 'Beautiful Seomseom Yeosu.'

During the seven-year war period that began in Imjin Year (1592) when Japan invaded Joseon, Myeodo-dong served as the base for the allied forces, where Joseon's Panokseon and Geobukseon ships traveled and won naval battles against the Japanese invaders.

It is also a place where place names from that time still remain, such as Changchon Village, where military grain was stored, and Dodok Village, where the Ming Dynasty naval commander was stationed.

Looking down at the sea opposite from the Yi Sun-sin Bridge Observatory and imagining the naval forces bravely fighting the Japanese invaders, Myeodo-dong is a place that gives us the energy to overcome difficult times like these.

Currently, it is a place where you can overlook the country's key industrial sites, including chemical plants and Gwangyang Steelworks, evoking a sense of pride.

Myeodo-dong, with its history and present, is actively working to welcome tourists by planting and tending flowers that are good to see in this season at the observatory, combining the small passions of all organizations such as employees, the residents' autonomous association, and the Saemaeul Women's Association.

Seo Jeong-su, Myeodo-dong Chief, said, “I highly recommend visiting the Yi Sun-sin Observatory, which is an excellent place for citizens and tourists to feel spring and remember the history of the region.”
