Experience the local women's lifestyle of "living by the sea, eating seasonal food, and eating local food"

Let's go to the sea and gather the ingredients we need, just like a haenyeo! Hand in hand, let's experience how local women "live by the sea, eat seasonally, and eat locally."

▲ Heping Island Park

"An island away from the world, yet never far from it" best describes Heping Island. Simply turn a corner and cross a 70-meter bridge, and you'll reach Heping Island from the bustling city. The island's coastline, ravaged by intense sea erosion and weathering, has shaped a variety of natural landscapes, creating a diverse array of unique rock formations, including sea platforms, tofu rocks, sea trenches, sea cliffs, weathered windows, wanren dung (a type of 'million-man pile'), senjojiki (a type of senjojiki), sea caves, and mushroom rocks. It serves as a natural classroom for both recreation and education.

In addition, Heping Island Park offers outdoor pools and a beach area for children and adults to swim, play in the water, and play in the sand. The intimate pool allows people to observe a variety of intertidal organisms. Minimal artificial facilities are used to reduce damage to nature, and this beautiful natural treasure is built with the heart to maintain the natural ecology.
