When you visit the South Sea on a warm spring day, your eyes turn to full color because of colorful flowers such as cherry blossoms, rapeseeds, and tulips. It is the site of Admiral Yi Sun-Shin's country, and it is also an island filled with the loneliness and despair of exiles. Walking through exotic German villages, the love of miners and nurses in the movie 'International Market' comes to mind.
Namhaedaegyo, the symbol of the Korean economy, and Chungryulsa Temple with Admiral Yi Sun-shin
Namhae Grand Bridge, representing Korea's economic growth in the 1970s. Opened in 1973, the South Sea has turned into an island, not an island. The red suspension bridge, 660m long and 80m high, is considered one of the most beautiful bridges in Korea. In addition, the Battle of Noryang, the last battle of the Imjin War, began, and it was also a place where many exiles boarded a ferry. When you cross the Namhae Grand Bridge and wind around the road, you will reach Noryang Village.
Admiral Yi Sun-Sin's body, Namhae Chungryeolsa Temple
If you visited this place in spring, order Dodari Mugwort from Noryang's sushi restaurant. If you put the fleshy legs on the scented mugwort that overcame the sea breeze, and boil it in a pot, the white broth will turn out, but there is no supplement. You can see the life-size turtle ship by touching the ship in fullness and heading towards the sea. Inside, you can see the weapons that defeated the enemy during the Imran. Behind it is Chungryulsa Temple. The place where the body of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who was killed by the Merry Sea Battle, has been gathered for three months, is now constructed. It is said that the tombstone of this Chungmugong was built by Song Si-yeol of Uam and written by Song Jun-gil.

A thousand kilometers of cherry blossoms form a tunnel on the coastal road 4km from Chungryeolsa to the sea. Rapeseed fields are also created on one side, so if you press the shutter against the indigo sea and Namhae Grand Bridge, you can leave a nice photo.

Yi Sun-Sin Guk Park, where you can see the world's largest porcelain mural
The site where General Yi Sun-shin was hit by a bullet from the Noryang Naval Sea and was repatriated is Gwaneumpo. Next to this is the Yi Sun-shin movie theater in the shape of a turtle line. This is a 3D full-dome three-dimensional movie theater, and you can see realistically the battle of the sea in Noryang Battle.
Yi Soon Shin Cinema
Stone sculptures in the shape of a pan-ok line stand in the square of Yi Sun-sin Park, and the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin stares into the sea in the middle. The best attraction is a large porcelain mural measuring 5m in height and 200m in length. A pottery was made by baking 3797 pieces of ceramic 50 cm wide and 50 cm long. It is said that baking it in a kiln transformed it and twisted it, making it more difficult to bake more than 8,000 pieces. The mural depicts a total of five scenes, including the appearance of the Noryang Naval Battle, the origin of the victory, the battle, the Sunkook, and what the South Sea looks like today.

The sword of General Yi Sun-sin is displayed on the back of the mural, and sculptures symbolizing the death of the general, such as a heart pierced by a bullet, are displayed.

Namhae Exile Literature Museum
Namhae Exile Literature Museum is an exhibition hall expressing exile's loneliness and despair in literature. It contains stories of literary people who have been exiled to the South Sea, such as Seo-po Kim Man-jung, who wrote Korean novels such as 'Gun-Mon-mong' and 'Sa-si Nam-jeong-gi,' Jaam Kim-gu who wrote 'Hwajeonbyokokgok', and Yakcheon Nam-gu-man, who wrote the eponymous 'Are the Alumni Bright?' You can see representative works of exiles and expatriates from China, Europe, as well as Korea.

The most popular place is the exile experience room, allowing you to have time to self-reflect by becoming a direct exile, such as 3D stereoscopic video sending experience, mold experience, prison experience, and writing electronic rumors.
Penalty Experience in Exile Experience Room
The difficult poems were recited by voice actors in a comfortable voice, making it easy to understand exile literature. There are three-dimensional sculptures, such as the statue of Seopo Kim Man-jung, the sculptures of exiles, thatched houses, and the appearance of exiles who spend years fishing, so it is good to take a walk.
The Jade House where exiles lived
Healing of My Heart, National Namhae Pyeonbaek Recreational Forest
Pyeonbaek Natural Recreation Forest is hidden in Naesan Village, Samdong-myeon, which is called land on the island.
Boiled cypress trees from the 60s
In the 1960s, boiled cypress and cedar trees form a lush forest, and it is enough to take a heart on nature while walking through the dense forest path. It is good for mental health as well as atopy prevention.

When you walk up a mountain about 1km from the forest house and climb the mountain, you will reach the observation deck.

Garden gardening arts villages around the world and German villages
Horticultural arts village is a village where gardening experts gathered together and changed the house and garden like a picture. There are unusual flower paths such as flower tunnels, sculpture parks, fountains, and walking trails. New Zealand-style topiary gardens, Dutch-style windmill gardens, and French-style grass roofs attract the attention of exotic homes and world gardens. It is not artificially decorated, but it is characterized by creating a garden like gardening in the garden community. Talent Park Won-suk and Meng Ho-rim are also living here. Cherry blossoms in April and tulips in May. It is fun to see handicraft accessories and ornaments made by the villagers. When you climb the octagonal pavilion, the sea is tingling in the distance.

On the other side of the Horticultural Art Village is the Padog Exhibition Hall. It contains the story of a miner and a nurse who went to Germany to overcome poverty in the 60s.
Namhae Podo Exhibition Hall
Outdoor is a German restaurant and guesthouse. The souvenir workshop creates an exotic atmosphere. At the square stand, you can enjoy authentic German sausages and delicious beers. The German Village Beer Festival is held in the first week of October at Deutscher Platz (Square).

Islander's reluctance
The place where the green wave of the four seasons shimmers is Namhae. In spring, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms, and rapeseeds combine with the garlic field to create a picturesque landscape. The 45-degree slope and the 108-story Darin rice paddy can be seen by the South Sea people who are not teasing a single land. The houses on the shoulders are small because of the wind.
108-degree bonito with a 45-degree slope
If you stroll around the houses with the roofs of primary colors such as blue and orange while walking around, you will meet the most handsome male and female rocks in Korea. 5.8 meters in height and 1.5 meters in circumference, there is a huge rock standing up towards the sky, and beside it, there are some rock formations in the shape of a woman carrying a baby. There is a rumor that if you give up this rock, you will have a son.
The most handsome rock formation in Korea
