Question marks and exclamation marks appeared in the eyes of acquaintances who were talking in the pension yard
which created a dreary atmosphere under a bizarre high note such as the sound of "UFO," was an unpleasant sound that mumbled
shouting of a man in the middle and low tones
The sound was loud enough to cover the music sound that was left on the middle of the cell phone
I heard a sound when I entered the room with a double window
Local dogs started barking at the intrusive sound
and guests of nearby pensions came out to the side of the road one by one and filmed the video on their cell phones
"It's a North Korean broadcast against South Korea
You used the sound of an animal until recently
This is the words of a man who did not mind the creepy sound and was fishing at night in the reservoir
about 1.5 kilometers to the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and 3 kilometers to the North
During a parliamentary audit of the National Assembly's National Defense Committee on the 24th of last month
complained that his life was collapsing due to the noise of South Korean broadcasting
saying his health is deteriorating because elementary school children cannot sleep
He cried and urged the government to come up with measures
Another man who has lived in Soongreo-ri for decades said
"It's malicious to see it broadcast at exactly the right time to sleep."
North Korea's broadcasting to the South is only aimed at causing irritation among residents
"The broadcast has been going on for more than 30 days," adding
South Korea's broadcasts to North Korea consist of news that reveals the true nature of the North Korean regime or content that shows off South Korea's system superiority
North Korea is hiding the fact that it is sending troops to Russia out of fear of internal opposition
but the South Korean government is informing it through broadcasting to the North
Experts believe that the power and effect of North Korea broadcasting is greater than that of South Korea broadcasting
Residents who have suffered from noise for a short period of time are now insensitive to sound
"The noise that came out yesterday was worth listening to
I sleep that well now," he said with a bitter smile
but there is no solution other than thawing inter-Korean relations
a professor of unification and diplomacy at Korea University
"There is no action that the Korean government can take immediately
"The pain of the residents is inevitable in the face of a strong confrontation."
as the fact of South Korean broadcasting became known through social media (SNS)
young people came to Ganghwado Island for a "South Korean Broadcasting Tour." "Not long ago
young people asked me on the phone if I could hear the South Korean broadcast
"I also asked for a recommendation for 'performance' where I can record sounds well."
there are fewer customers overall," he said
"This is especially the situation in the north of Ganghwa Island."

The broadcasts consist of peculiar sounds like sirens and metal clanging
Loudspeakers are visible on a hillside in Gaepung-gun
SEOUL – Disruptive noises from North Korean loudspeakers have caused residents near the inter-Korean border to suffer for months
with some complaining that their health has been compromised
Data from a recent mental health assessment in Gimpo
has shown that 28 per cent of the participants are experiencing significant mental health concerns
Conducted by the city’s mental health welfare centre from Aug 8 to 14
it assessed 102 residents living close to the border in Wolgot-myeon and Haseong-myeon
The data indicates that two individuals fell into a “high-risk category” for mental health issues
while 27 were labelled as being in a “watch” category
dealing with notable symptoms of stress and anxiety
The remaining 73 residents were considered to be within a normal range
Predominantly affecting the elderly population – many in their 70s and 80s – the noise has resulted in symptoms
These symptoms have been reported since the broadcasts started last September
making their daily lives increasingly intolerable
which consist of peculiar sounds like sirens and metal clanging
metal-grinding sounds permeate the day and night from the North
depriving us of sleep and making daily life a challenge due to constant fear and anxiety,” one resident described
“We plan to offer psychological counselling and psychiatric treatment for those interested
aiming to enhance residents’ mental stability,” a Gimpo city official said
we are proposing measures to the Gyeonggi province and the central government
and installation of soundproof windows and doors.”
North Korean broadcasts have also caused residents of Ganghwa-gun
The Incheon government plans to install soundproof facilities in the Dangsan-ri area
first reported in late July and described as high-pitched and similar to scraping metal
also feature sirens and drums and persist around the clock
Officials in Seoul believe this may be a retaliatory measure by the North against South Korea’s resumption of loudspeaker broadcasts earlier that month
it might serve as a tactic to prevent North Korean citizens from hearing South Korean propaganda
the South Korean military has been blaring daily propaganda broadcasts into North Korea
in response to the North’s launch of trash-carrying balloons which began in late May
These broadcasts include K-pop songs and news critical of Mr Kim Jong Un’s regime
such as reports on the defection of North Korean diplomats and soldiers
who was elected as Incheon's Ganghwa county governor in the October 16 by-elections
was evaluated by his parents as a fresh move for guiding students to school on their first day in office
Mayor Park provided traffic guidance to students going to school on the road near Ganghwa Girls' Middle School in Ganghwa-eup
who controlled the vehicle and guided them to cross the road safely whenever the traffic light changed
nodded only when the transportation volunteer next to him announced
Mayor Park helped students go to school safely for 30 minutes with transportation volunteers
"I know that when you become a group leader
you usually start with a grand inauguration ceremony on the first day of your inauguration
but it was refreshing to help students go to school on the street," and cheered
"I hope you don't lose your initial intention."
Mayor Park began his first move with volunteer work to guide student traffic
It is also a fulfillment of the promise made the day before the election was confirmed
When the election was confirmed the day before
"I will keep the promises I made with the county residents during the election process
he promised to do volunteer work for students' transportation guidance first
"I will keep that promise tomorrow morning (17th)."
Park's traffic guidance volunteer activities are interpreted as an expression of his will to keep his promises to voters during the election and fulfill his personalized educational pledge for reinforcement
"The population cliff crisis is sweeping the Republic of Korea
and the population increases only when the educational environment is good," he said
"It is important to strengthen customized education for children's laughter and young people's hopes."

and Ganghwa contain many hundreds of examples of dolmens - tombs from the 1st millennium BC constructed of large stone slabs
Hwasun et Ganghwa abritent des centaines de dolmens – sépultures faites d'énormes dalles de pierre datant du Ier millénaire av
Ils appartiennent à la culture mégalithique que l'on retrouve en de nombreux autres endroits du globe
تحوي مقابر غوشانغ وهواسونغ وغانغوا القديمة مئات الدلامن وهي قبور مؤلفة من شواهد حجرية ضخمة تعود الى الألفية الاولى قبل الميلاد
وتنتمي هذه الدلامن الى ثقافة الميغليث المتواجدة في أماكن متعددة أخرى من العالم إنما بكثافة أقل
在高昌、华森和江华发现的石墓群建于公元前一千年左右,该墓群用巨型厚石板建造而成。这里是全世界各地发现的巨石文化的一部分,同时也是这种文化最集中的一处。
На этих доисторических кладбищах находится много сотен дольменов – древних захоронений
Эти памятники отражают культуру эпохи мегалита
которая может быть найдена во многих частях мира
однако нигде – в столь ярко выраженной форме
Hwasun y Ganghwa albergan cientos de dólmenes –sepulturas construidas con enormes bloques de piedra– que datan del primer milenio antes de nuestra era
Estos monumentos forman parte de la cultura megalítica extendida por muchos lugares del mundo
pero en estos sitios su grado de concentración es mayor que en ninguna otra parte
Hwasun and Ganghwa Dolmen sites contain the highest density and greatest variety of dolmens in Korea
which figured prominently in Neolithic and Bronze Age cultures across the world during the 2nd and 1st millennia BCE
Usually consisting of two or more undressed stone slabs supporting a huge capstone
it is generally accepted that they were simply burial chambers
erected over the bodies or bones of deceased worthies
They are usually found in cemeteries on elevated sites and are of great archaeological value for the information that they provide about the prehistoric people who built them and their social and political systems
The property encompasses three distinct areas
Criterion (iii): The global prehistoric technological and social phenomenon that resulted in the appearance in the 2nd and 3rd millennia BCE of funerary and ritual monuments constructed of large stones (the "Megalithic Culture") is nowhere more vividly illustrated than in the dolmen cemeteries of Gochang
A significant number of dolmens are distributed in each of the three areas
fully showing the development history of the megalithic culture with numerous examples of various style and type
The existence of a quarry near the site is especially important in providing references to the origins
nature and developmental history of the dolmens
as well as contributing to the integrity of the property
These components are all included within the boundaries of the inscribed property
The re-erection of selected collapsed or dispersed dolmens is planned
This work will be based on meticulous scientific research
in order to establish the original configuration and location of the dolmens
The greatest risk to the dolmens is fire and damage to the surrounding environment
Most of the dolmens have remained untouched since the time of their construction
their present condition being the result of normal processes of decay
Although a few have been dismantled by farmers their stones have survived intact and their original location and form can be identified without difficulty
The entire area of the three separate sites has been designated as a Cultural Heritage site under the Cultural Heritage Protection Act
which requires that they be protected and managed accordingly
The sites and the area that extends 500 m from the boundary of the each site have further protection under the Cultural Heritage Protection Act as a Historic Cultural Environment Protection Area
Any form of development or intervention requires authorization and environmental impact assessment
and repairs must be carried out by licensed specialists
The properties belong to the Government of the Republic of Korea
funding and the preparation and implementation of conservation policies for the sites and buffer zones rests with the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA)
The National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage carries out academic research
field survey and excavation (in association with university museums and private heritage research institutes)
Day-to-day preservation and management is the responsibility of the relevant local administrations (Gochang-gun County
Hwasun Dolmen Site Protection Pavilion and Ganghwa Historic Museum provide information about each dolmen site to visitors
Regular day-to-day monitoring is carried out and in-depth professional monitoring is carried out on a 3-to-4 year basis
Management plans have been developed for each of the three properties within the inscribed site
Their primary objective is the preservation of the original character of the dolmen sites and their immediate environments
The plans cover scientific research (survey
selected excavation and paleo-environmental studies)
protection of the environment (selective clearance of vegetation cover
routing of visitors to ensure minimal impact on the natural environment
acquisition of adjacent farmland to prevent incursions
systematic monitoring and presentation (signage
public awareness and participation of local communities
scrubs near the dolmens are removed regularly and dolmens that have collapsed as a result of unearthed land or tree roots are investigated
extensively researched and restored to their original state

Is one of your favorite childhood memories a snow day
my snow days involved sledding down hills with our own homemade sled crafted from cardboard
Thanks to the steep hills in our neighborhood
that homemade sled brought great speeds and unforgettable memories
Those delightful memories came back to me when I came across information about a luge slide about a two-hour drive from Camp Humphreys
I drove from Pyeongtaek to Ganghwado Island
the Ganghwa Seaside Resort features a revolving observation deck that offers a bird’s eye view of the sea
a gondola stretching across 700 meters and walking trails through unspoiled pine forests
the centerpiece of this resort is its luge track
make sure you get a helmet that fits near the boarding point if you paid for a luge ticket
I took in the marvelous landscape as the gondola lifted me from the boarding point to the peak of the 336-meter-tall Gilsangsan Mountain
Take some time to enjoy the stunning views from the peak before rushing to get the adrenaline rush from the luge course
small mountains and open space landscape will give you a dramatic backdrop
There is also a lounge and UFO shaped revolving cafe that gives you panoramic view of the surroundings at the top of the mountain
these little gravity-fueled carts may not look like much in photos
I was required to take a brief safety training
The instructor showed me how to brake and steer properly
so it will definitely deliver on your need for speed
is a more winding track with hairpin corners
If you’re not a thrill-seeker or it’s your first time riding a luge
I recommend you try the ocean course first
And I also personally recommend you buy at least two luge rides because you’ll find yourself wanting to go more than once after the first ride
Though you may think luge carts are for kids
one ride here and it will change your mind
I took the valley track and as soon as I pushed on the handlebar
the speed made the wind rush at me and my body moved along every curve of the course
I was smiling and screaming in delight because this was so fun
I slowed down to catch the spectacular ocean view
It took 10 minutes for me to reach the finish line
don’t sleep on hitching a ride on the luge at night
the tracks are illuminated in vibrant colors
giving visitors thrills and a beautiful view
Ganghwa Sea Resort has activities fit for all
*Children under the age of 10 years and between the height of over 85 cm to under 120cm can ride in tandem with an adult
You need to purchase a “CHILD DOUBLING” ticket for your child in addition to yours
Fuel up with some bibimbap at Manisan-sanchae
a common Korean dish consisting of vegetables
and gochujang (red chili paste) topped with a fried egg
the more you’ll notice there are variances in the ingredients of bibimbap and perhaps even get as far as deciding on what your preferred version is
Sanchae bibimbap is one version of the dish featuring wild herbs and vegetables not usually found in the standard recipe
Since Sanchae also does not usually contain meat or eggs
this is a great dish for vegans or those on plant-based diets
I love to try bibimbap because one can never go wrong with this Korean food favorite
and it’s a great way to sample a region’s flavors
a 10-minute drive from Gwanghwa Seaside Resort
This is a famous bibimbap shop is housed inside a traditional Korean home converted into a restaurant and has plenty of parking
large ceramic pots used in Korean cooking to store and ferment Kimchi or condiments such as soybean paste and sauce
The jangdoks are a good sign indicating this restaurant uses homemade sauces to make its food
I visited Manisan-sanchae on a weekday so was quickly seated without having to wait
The menu offers over 13 assorted banchan (side dishes) to enjoy
I opted for sanchae-bibimbap for 11,000 won (about $9.84)
I was delighted to find it included brown rice
and oats which help to control blood sugar levels
I quickly stirred in some homemade gochujang
bean paste soup and sesame oil before digging in
It was love at first bite and soon I was content and filled with a delicious meal
teas and sides to the ambience and ease of ordering
I was very happy with my choice to have a meal here

Watch 28sThe South Korean village of Ganghwa-gun has been blasted with an array of eerie and unsettling noises from large speakers positioned on North Korea's side of the demilitarised zone.

which became independent from Gyeonggi-do in 1981 and grew into a city with a population of 3 million
including Baengnyeong-do and Yeonpyeong-do
Landification is not easy due to the nature of the island
Ganghwa Island was connected to the land with two bridges (Ganghwa and Choji bridges) connecting Gimpo and Ganghwa Island in Gyeonggi Province
Ongjin-gun) where Yeongheung Thermal Power Plant is located and Seonjae-do (Yeongheung-myeon
which connects Ansan and Seonjae Island in Gyeonggi Province
which connects Yeongheung Island and Seonjae Island
and Seonjae are all connected to Gyeonggi-do
so there is still a psychological distance for Incheon citizens
where Incheon International Airport is located
the Yeongjong-Shindo Bridge connecting Shindo (Bukdo-myeon
Ongjin-gun) will be completed at the end of next year
a bridge that connects Incheon's land and Ongjin (直結) will be created for the first time
When a bridge connecting Sindoh and Ganghwa is built
Ongjin and Ganghwa-gun (郡) are both directly connected to the Incheon administrative district
which has a symbolic meaning that all 10 counties and districts in Incheon are connected to land
The need for Yeongjong-Ganghwa roads was maximized during the Moon Jae In government
The road connecting Yeongjong and Ganghwa was named the 'West Sea Inter-Korean Peace Road' and included in the balanced national development project in 2019
It is a project with the connection between Kaesong and Haeju in mind
and was planned to link logistics between Incheon International Airport and North Korea after the reunification of the two Koreas
was accelerated by exempting the preliminary feasibility study
which connects Yeongjong International City in Jung-gu
is a financial project that began construction in 2021 and is expected to be completed at the end of next year
Shinto shrines are the same as nearby municipalities
and Modos are already connected by Yeongyo Bridge
so when Yeongjong-Sindo Bridge is completed
a large area of Bukdo-myeon will be connected to the land
the 570m long Yeondo Bridge (two round trip lanes) connecting the city and the city was completed on the 14th
making it easier to travel to and from New
City and Modo by the end of next year when Yeongjong-Shindo Bridge opens
City and Modo were previously connected by bridges
but safety concerns were raised due to their lack of durability
The second phase of the West Sea inter-Korean peace road project
is the last card to directly connect Ongjin-gun and Ganghwa-gun to Incheon's land
calls this section the "Ganghwa Peace Bridge." Although it aims to open in 2030
it is not easy to develop private investments that were originally planned because it is not easy to secure economic feasibility
The Incheon Metropolitan Government is pursuing a two-track strategy to designate the section as a national road or change the business method that is a private investment project to a financial project
it seems difficult to build the Shindo-Ganghwa Bridge entirely with state funds
the Incheon Metropolitan Government recommended that the Yeongjong-Ganghwa section be designated as a general national road in the demand survey for the establishment of the 6th National Road and National Road Construction Plan (2026-2030)
it will become a government project and proceed with the project with full state funds
Infrastructure and Transport plans to finalize and announce the 6th National Road and National Road Construction Plan at the end of this year
similar demands have poured out from all over the country
The Ministry of Public Administration and Security has accepted the Incheon Metropolitan Government's request to convert the Shindo-Ganghwa Bridge project
which was reflected as a private investment project in the comprehensive development plan for the border region
into a financial project and is currently consulting with the Ministry of Economy and Finance
Even if the Shindo-Ganghwa Bridge project is converted into a financial project
it must pass a preliminary feasibility study by the Ministry of Economy and Finance
Since the amount of state funding is not large
the Incheon Metropolitan Government should set up its own financing plan together
Regarding the Shindo-Ganghwa Bridge project
the Incheon Metropolitan Government requested 70 billion won in state funds out of an estimated 450 billion won two years ago
Incheon City is planning to designate and develop the southern end of Ganghwa as a free economic zone and bear construction costs to project implementers as part of measures to improve metropolitan transportation
the government must designate the southern end of Ganghwa as a free economic zone and a project implementer must appear to develop it
conditions for the development of the southern end of Ganghwa will be prepared," adding
"We will actively promote the Shindo-Ganghwa road project to solve the long-cherished project of residents in the border area as well as the development of the southern end of Ganghwa."
Life&Culture Stone’s throw away from North Korea
Traveling across border county of Ganghwa-gun
seeing glimmers of past and peaking into future
Standing atop the Ganghwa Peace Observatory and looking over at the farmland of the most reclusive state in the world unfold in front of my eyes was a strange feeling
I’ve literally been to the other side of the planet
yet there was always one place I could never be as a South Korean
The “stone’s throw” cliche is only a slight exaggeration – the North Korean shore is just 2.3 km away
That’s how close it had been all this time
The observatory is located in Yangsa-myeon
and requires an admission fee of between 2,500 won ($2.2) to 1,000 won
the building was built in 2008 as a symbol of hope for reunification between the Koreas
The top floor has coin-operated binoculars
I popped in 500 won to look a little bit closer at Haechang-ri and Samdal-ri in North Korea’s Gaepung-gun
what seemed to be North Korean military facilities and even a glimpse of North Korean people going through their daily routines
It is located where two great rivers -- the Han River and the Imjin River -- meet
and I was told that it was even possible to catch a glimpse of Kaesong Industrial Park on a sunny day
Visitors can also watch a video explaining what they are seeing on the other side of the river
the observatory is right next to military facilities
Also keep in mind that you are about to visit a place near North Korea
so there will be a military checkpoint that will check your ID and issue a visitor’s pass for you
A short distance away from the observatory is Ganghwa Tourism Platform near Ganghwa Daeryong Market
the building is designed after Goryeo celadon and woven cotton fabric
VR programs provide a peak into the tourism spots and travelers can get guide booklets and coupons
One feature was the “Bridge of Peace,” in which visitors can take photos that they can lay like bricks on a virtual bridge that connects the two Koreas
it always appears to be just a few meters away from completion
“The bridge can never actually be finished
It’s just a symbol to show our desire for unification,” said a staff at the visitors’ center
It appeared to be a cruel reminder of how tantalizingly close -- yet impossibly far -- we were to connecting with long-lost kin
The tiny island of Gyodongdo is where many North Koreans who lost homes during the 1950-53 Korean War decided to settle and call home
in hopes that unification was just around the corner
forming what is now known as Daeryong Market and dreaming of one day trading with their neighbors they left behind
You can actually rent 1970s school uniforms and dress up for black and white photos
four years after the first Korean was baptized
It is currently the oldest cathedral in Korea in the style of a hanok
but the interior is designed in Western style
It still holds weekly masses for local believers
About 10 minutes’ walk from Ganghwa Tourism Platform lies old palace grounds from Goryeo
but the county of Ganghwa hosted the royals for 39 years during a Mongolian invasion in the 13th century
The palace and its walls were torn down after the country signed a peace treaty with the Mongols
but some traces of the ancient buildings remain
Ganghwa remained an important strategic point throughout the Joseon years

What about a green garden trip in early summer
The theme of June's recommended place selected by the Korea Tourism Organization is "Garden Byeolgok"
It introduces five garden destinations that even contain stories of people who went there
Hwagae Mountain Five-colored Flower Shades
built at the foot of Hwagae Mountain in Gyodongdo Island
is a place where you can see Gyodongdo Island inside the Civilian Control Line
and is especially good for traveling in June on Memorial Day and the Korean War Memorial Day
When you stand on the skywalk of Hwagae Mountain Observatory at the top
you can see North Korea's Yeonbaek Plain at a glance
Of the approximately 180,000 plants planted in the five gardens of Hwagae Garden
roses and hydrangeas are in season at this time
and shade screens were provided to create a space zone that is good for spacing out while looking at the sea
There will also be a mobile stamp mission to provide souvenirs when six of the eight pot lid sculptures symbolizing Hwagae Mountain are found and certified
Monorail is operated to the top for those who are not feeling well or whose purpose is to look at the observatory
You can also taste and experience light makgeolli at the Geumpung Brewery
which has been around for three generations
a left-hand training experience center using Ganghwa Yaksu
Gyeryong Dondae on the west coast is a quiet shelter and is popular for its beautiful sunset
Why don't you go on a garden trip to Gongju
which is close to the metropolitan area but can enjoy clean nature and ancient culture at the same time
where relics and relics from the Baekje period live and breathe
is attracting a lot of attention as an eco-friendly ecological garden thanks to the "Yugu Color Dongsuguk Garden" created in the northwest these days
where the Yugu Color Dongsuguk Garden is located
is a first-class clean stream restored by Gongju City
It has been reborn as the largest hydrangea complex in the central region by planting 20,000 hydrangeas of about 20 types
in the waterside space of Yugucheon Stream
the Yugu Color-dong Hydrangea Garden Flower Festival will be held
and you will be able to see the true face of hydrangeas
It is also recommended to appreciate the mural of the Yugu area
which led Korea's textile industry until the 1980s
at the Yugu Mural Street built near the Yugu Color East Hydrangea Garden
which is a fortress representing Woongjin-do-eupgi (475-538)
is a scenic spot where you can see the beautiful appearance of the princess with the Geumgang River
The Royal Tomb of Princess Muryeong and Royal Tomb are representative UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Chungcheong region where you can imagine the splendor of the Baekje period
The National Gongju Museum is a theme museum where you can meet the living history of Chungcheongnam-do
focusing on the culture of the Baekje period
Looking back while walking through the green garden
where you can meet as many as 600 topiary works in one place
They range from animal shapes such as dinosaurs
and duck families to cartoon characters such as Pororo
There is a dense cypress forest above the topiary garden
which is dark even in the middle of the day
there are soft bean bags and cozy hammocks
so it's good to bring a light lunch box and enjoy a picnic
There is a barefoot trail through cypress trees
and a special foot bath experience with essence oil is also available
Along the uphill from the entrance of the German village
there are many shops selling German beer and sausages
When you stand on the observation deck above the village
the Geomri Embankment offers a simultaneous view of the mysterious forest and sea
and the Treasure Island Observatory boasts a 360-degree panoramic view
Recycle and Rediscover Nature Hwasun Mudeungsan Bow Garden
It is an upcycling garden where abandoned objects meet Imja and are reborn
and it is a garden full of Korean beauty that contains the curves of roofs and mountains everywhere
the course to look back at the core of the Bow Garden takes about 40 minutes
and it takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes to look at the entire cypress forest tree house and horizontal valley in a large circle
It stands out for its sensible names such as Moss Garden
It is a place where discarded pieces of iron and discarded wood become works
I recommend Dongguri Lake Park and Hwasun-gun Choi Sang-joon Art Museum
which has been transformed into an old house cultural experience space
which is considered the Hwasun 4 scenic views
Garden of Jeju Thinking Garden at the fingertips of a farmer
It all started with the fingertips of Sung Bum-young
who calls himself a "farmer." He self-cultivated the wasteland he purchased in 1968
but after disposing of all livestock because it was not suitable for him
he devoted himself to trees to create the current bonsai garden
it was first opened as a tourist destination at the recommendation of Hankyung-myeon
It is a place that advocates a pure Jeju-type Korean garden
and Korean tree species are planted and stone walls and oreums are expressed in the garden
The garden consists of nine areas combined with five ponds
and it is also recommended to climb to a garden or observatory to enjoy the scenery in three dimensions
Experience programs include making millstone coffee and black food whole grain drinks
You can also taste the world's top three coffee and Jeju local food that you can taste with the original single bean
where you can meet Jeju's primeval forest Gotjawal
Jeju Gotjawal Provincial Park is also recommended
and bracken and Jonggassi trees grow the most
and you can meet endangered dog spines that can only be found in Jeju
which attracts many tourists with green tea fields

A series of accidents have occurred in Chile's tourist attractions in which wild dogs attack people
This is because residents are anxious due to the outbreak of wild dogs in Ganghwa Island
a total of 155 wild dogs were captured on Ganghwa Island from January to December last year
Most of these dogs have swarmed and damaged crops and livestock.A was caught by a private company that signed a contract with Ganghwa-gun
Ganghwa-gun actively captured the area considering the high risk of unexpected wild dog attacks due to the high proportion of the elderly

A South Korean marine has turned his gun on his colleagues
A spokesman for the defence ministry in the capital
said the corporal had opened fire while on duty at Ganghwa island west of Seoul
A staff sergeant and two marines died on the spot while another marine died of his injuries on the way to hospital
The 19-year-old corporal was later wounded by an exploding hand grenade in a possible suicide attempt
The Ganghwa island base is near a disputed maritime border with North Korea
All able-bodied South Korean men are required to serve at least two years in the country's 650,000-member military
The motive for Monday's shooting on the island 70km (40 miles) west of Seoul remains unclear
The injuries sustained by the apparent shooter - known only by his surname
Kim - are preventing him from immediately answering questions about the incident
"After firing his K-2 rifle inside the marines' living quarters
a hand grenade was detonated in a separate building compartment outside," he told a news briefing
"No-one else was present in the compartment aside from the shooter Corporal Kim."
Numerous incidents between North and South Korea off the peninsula's divided west coast - where the waters are claimed by both sides - have raised tensions for the hundreds of South Korean marines stationed on islands in the area
There have also been previous violent incidents involving South Korean soldiers in recent years
some linked to claims of bullying by senior officers
a young soldier threw a grenade and fired at sleeping comrades
a private reportedly injured five other soldiers when he threw a grenade at them while they were sleeping
