The Praise of Life – Mokpo, Jeollanam-do
This neighborhood, with its friendly atmosphere of low buildings and old signs, is a place where fresh seafood and generous meals of white rice are delicious, and the streets that preserve modern history are cool.
Although it is a low mountain with an altitude of 228m, when you reach the entrance of Yudalsan Mountain, which has beautiful scenery created by strangely shaped rocks and rocky cliffs, you can see a statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin standing in a dignified manner.
Also, if you follow his gaze, you can see the rock peak 'Nojeokbong', and this is where Admiral Yi Sun-sin's camouflage tactics shined.
Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who was outnumbered during the Japanese invasions of Korea, disguised himself as having sufficient military provisions by covering the rocky peak with rice straw, which was threatening enough to force the enemy to withdraw on their own.
Off the coast of Mokpo, where passenger ships come and go several times a day, there is an island called ‘Gohado’ because it is an ‘island under a high mountain.’
In particular, if you visit this place, the first thing you can see is the uniquely shaped Gohado Observatory, which is made up of 13 panokseons stacked in a grid to commemorate the memory of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, who defeated the enemy army with 13 ships during the Battle of Myeongnyang.
There is a restaurant that serves stewed cutlassfish made with minimal seasoning to preserve its fresh and savory taste.
Exclaiming with admiration, what would the taste of braised black cutlassfish make Lee Man-gi, the neighborhood keeper, happy?
Let’s follow in the footsteps of the women loved by Mokpo and the world.
She was born as the precious daughter of a family with only one son, and grew up receiving all the love from her family. Her dream was to open a fancy butcher shop rather than a family home.
