Korea / Southeastern Region / T'ongyong

T'ongyong (known as Ch'ungmu earlier time) is a traditional seaport of great charm and historical interest. For those seeking a quiet place to rest and relax for a few days, T'ongyong is a particularly good choice. The many offshore islands of this port city are rich in tradition, many of which relate to Admiral Yi Sun-shin, Korea's greatest naval hero.
