West Coast – Ganghwa Island Tour

What your day looks like

Ganghwa Island Tour will let you enjoy the stunning views and the rich history & culture the island offers. Ganghwa Island is the fifth-largest island in Korea and is located in the West Sea. It is composed of 11 inhabited islands and 17 uninhabited islands, and its beaches are 99 km long. Recently with the creation of the Ganghwa Bridge, the island has become more like the mainland. Dolmens are stone graves/tombs which date back to the pre-historic era. Dolmens are largely concentrated in Northeast Asia with Korea alone being home to a total of around 30,000 dolmens. The dolmens in this region are found in unusual altitudes of 100-200m above sea level and reveal important information about the prehistoric period. The Ganghwa Dolmen site was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage on Nov. 29th. You may enjoy the best view of this historic site around sunset. Ganghwa Traditional Market offers a superb quality of Korean Ginseng and various food and living stuff along with the rural atmosphere, even folk flea market is being held which ends in date ‘2’ and ‘7’, so every 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th like that.
