Spectacular sunset spot
This is the place where Choi Ung appeared while reminiscing on his most memorable trip, and you can see the wonderful sunset. The scenery created by anchored fishing boats and seagulls hovering overhead is quite stunning. The wooden deck extending to the sea, a popular attraction of Gungpyeong Port, is not just a promenade or breakwater, but a 'fishing pier'. It is very popular as a facility that allows you to fish on the deck without having to go out to sea on a boat. The sunset seen from the deck is much more spectacular than in the drama.
