Although called Jukdo Island, the island today is technically not an island as it has been connected to the mainland since the construction of Nampo Embankment in 1999. Along the entrance of the island are many fresh hoe (sliced raw fish) restaurants lining the street. This unpopulated fishing island is also called Daeseom (Bamboo Island) for its dense groves of bamboo trees.

Sanghwawon is a traditional Korean garden that was created to protect Jukdo’s natural environment. The name bears the meaning “reverence for harmony.” A covered corridor of 1 kilometer in length surrounds the island, and it is said to be the longest in the world. Sanghwawon has various facilities, including the Uigokdang Shrine believed to have been built in the early Joseon dynasty, a hanok village, Panseok Plaza, and Sky Garden. Panseok Plaza is made of black sandstones, a specialty of Boryeong. With the x_height of a three-story building, Sky Garden offers a sunset view over the West Sea from high above.

Sanghwawon also has an accommodation facility with about 20 rooms decorated in a modern style, and is situated in a high location, so guests can admire the beautiful scenery of Sanghwawon outside the room. After the show “Young Actors’ Retreat (2022)” was aired, the accommodation became popular as the place where the celebrities stayed.
