Explanation
Located at the end of Jeokbyeokgang Cliff, Suseongdang Shrine is the only shrine in Korea that is dedicated to the sea god “Gaeyang Halmeoni” (Granny Gaeyang), the deity who rules over the West Sea, and her eight daughters. This is a place that holds rituals for the welfare and safety of fishers. Visitors can also see cairns dedicated to the fishermens’ safety. For tourists, however, this shrine is notable for its canola flowers. In early spring, the road connecting Suseongdang Shrine with Jeokbyeokgang Cliff blooms in yellow canola flowers, creating a beloved view and a premier photo area of the region. It is a recommended spot to see the flowers when visiting Buan in springtime.
