About
Spring at the front sea of Gijang is harvesting season. Idong Port fishers spent the busiest time in the year collecting grown seaweed from the buoy, where the Gijang Seaweed Festival is held.
Purchase seaweed and kelp at a reasonable price, which ranges depending on the quality of the product.
There are many poular sites to see, food to eat, such as seaweed, kelp, and activities to participate in, such as fresh herb harvesting programs. Seaweed Bibimbap is served for free during lunch hour.
