Supjaengi Garden (숲쟁이공원)
Supjaengi Garden is a park associated with the history of Beopseongpo. “Supjaengi” means a fortress made of trees. It was created to protect Beopseong Jinseong Fortress, a naval base during the Joseon dynasty, with a forest of deciduous trees, serving as a windbreak forest to protect Beopseongpo and the village. Visitors can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the port while walking along the flower-filled walking trails. Every June, the Beopseongpo Danoje attracts many tourists.

Unlike Goguryeo and Silla, Baekje’s origin of Buddhism and how it spread had remained a mystery other than the story of how Indian monk Mirananta came to Yeonggwang and founded Bulgapsa Temple. In 1998, records were found stating that Monk Mirananta first set foot in Jwaudu Village in Beopseong-myeon, Yeonggwang in AD 384 after passing through Dongjin in China. Subsequently, the site has turned into an attraction in honor of the monk and the spread of Buddhism.
