Incheon Ganghwado
Ganghwado in Incheon
is the fifth largest island
in Korea. The island with
many historical sites lining
its shores is like
a historical museum.
Let's take off on a journey
to Ganghwado where culture
and history is alive.
Although Ganghwado is an
island, it is easy to access
because it is connected
by a bridge.
The island is less than
an hour's distance away
from Seoul, making it the
closest historical destination
to the capital.
Ganghwado has many historical
sites from Goryeo era
to modern times.
Gapgot high grounds, Chojijin
and a canon used in Joseon era
at Gwangseongbo show parts
of the history.
In Ganghwado, the past and the
present coexist. Ganghwasanseong,
a fortress built to fight against
the second invasion of Mongolia
in 1232, is located in the middle
of Ganghwa downtown.
Jeondeungsa Temple is a must-see
destination in Ganghwado.
The temple, which symbolizes the
history of Buddhism in Korea,
was established in 381.
The temple is home to over 1600
years of history.
It is the oldest temple from
the early stages of Korean
Buddhism to still stand today.
The 1600 years of history that
Jeondeungsa has witnessed,
through the Goryeo and Joseon
Eras exude solemn atmosphere.
Ganghwado also features the
Ganghwa Cathedral, the first
church in Korea.
The Cathedral was built in 1900,
when the Western architecture
was first introduced to Korea.
Also, it shows the history of
the Anglican church of Korea.
There is Hwamunseok Museum
where you can meet Hwamunseok,
the specialty of Ganghwado.
Hwamunseok means a carpet made
with sedge with flower
patterns and it is produced
only in Ganghwado since
Goryeo period.
In this museum, visitors can
make crafts out of tall flat
sedge with local artists.
At Hwamunseok Village, various
programs are available
including making Hwamunseok,
tofu and Korean rice cakes.
Ginseng is Korea's main
health food. Even in Korea,
Ganghwa ginseng is known for
its good quality.
Ganghwado is the main production
site for 6-year-old ginseng with
excellent medicinal effect.
Ganghwa ginseng is famous for
strong scent and high contents
of saponin.
It would be meaningful to take
a travel back to a thousand
years ago in Ganghwado,
a beautiful island where history
and culture coexist.
