[Key Places to Visit]
Residents’ Shelter / Air-Raid Shelter
While these forms of bomb shelters are more commonly associated with military use, the bunkers in Ganghwa island are equally amenable to civilians.
Daeryong Market
An alley market, called "Yeonbaek Market", was created by North Korean refugees and modeled after the local market in their hometown Yeonbaek County in Hwanghae Province, North Korea.
Manghyangdae
Refugees who fled from North Korea during the Korean War were unable to return to their hometowns, so they erected a flagpole here to symbolize their longing for their homeland and families. They also hold ancestral rites here every year.
