Yeonhwado Island (Tongyeong)

연화도(통영) · Gyeongnam · Beaches & islands

Yeonhwado Island is located 24 km south of Tongyeong Port, bordered by Udo Island to the north and Yokjido Island to the west. It takes about two hours by boat from Tongyeong Port. The island features Yeonhwabong Peak, rising 212 meters on its west side, and sea cliff on the east. The area surrounding Yeonhwapo-gu is enclosed by uniquely-shaped rock cliffs, including Yongmeori Rock (Dragon Head Rock). Yongmeori Rock in Yeonhwado Island is famous for its scenic beauty, especially just before sunset when the setting sun bathes the rock in golden light.
