  • If you walk a little more towards the Sacheonjinhang Port, huge rocks on the beach will greet you.
    This group of rocks is called Gyomunam, which got its name from an ancient myth of a Gyoryong (Imugi or a dragon),
    which had been lying down underneath the rocks, cracking the rocks open like a gate as it flew away.
    This rock is also known as Yeongnakdae or Heogyun Rock.
