Spectacular sunset spot
This is the place where Choi Ung appeared while reminiscing on his most memorable trip, and you can see the wonderful sunset. The scenery created by anchored fishing boats and seagulls hovering overhead is quite stunning. The wooden deck extending to the sea, a popular attraction of Gungpyeong Port, is not just a promenade or breakwater, but a 'fishing pier'. It is very popular as a facility that allows you to fish on the deck without having to go out to sea on a boat. The sunset seen from the deck is much more spectacular than in the drama.

+82-31-5189-3508

The Hwaseong Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site was discovered on an island in the tidal plain south of Sihwaho Lake. The island was revealed when seawaters were blocked during a land reclamation project. As the sedimentary layer formed during the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era (dated around 83 million to 85 million years ago) was eroded by weathering, roughly 200 dinosaur eggs in thirty nests were discovered at twelve dig sites. It is anticipated that more fossils will be discovered once a thorough investigation is carried out and more land is reclaimed.
Most dinosaur eggs are oval shaped and dark red. Considering the properties of the fossilized shells, the eggs that have been discovered so far are assumed to belong to four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs with a long neck and tail, and two-legged herbivorous dinosaurs, including the hadrosaur. A wide range of plant fossils were also discovered alongside the fossilized eggs, leading to expectations that the formerly lush environment may yet be restored.

The discovery of the Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site in Hwaseong has greatly expanded the scope of Korean paleontology; previous paleontological discoveries were exclusively limited to fossilized dinosaur footprints. This significant discovery has attracted many internationally renowned scholars who have visited the site in Hwaseong.
