About

Gangguan Culture Square in Tongyeong, with a name meaning 'the entrance where stream water flows into the sea', is a historical site that served as a naval port for Samdosuguntongjeyeong during the Joseon dynasty. Today, it has established itself as the starting point for urban tours in Tongyeong and a complex cultural space for citizens and tourists. The core attractions here are the full-scale restored three Turtle ships and one Panokseon, where visitors can go inside to experience the life of the Joseon naval forces.

Climbing the opened Gangguan Bridge, you can view the beautiful scenery of Tongyeong's old downtown, including Dongpirang and Seopirang, at a glance, and at night, the Turtle ships and the bridge are illuminated, offering a fantastic night view.
