Introducing famous Naju attractions with a special charm.
Its beauty comes from the harmony of history and modern culture within. The spiritual healing offered by Naju comes from this harmony.
One of the highlights of traveling in Naju
is to enjoy the Yeongsangang River to the fullest on a hwangpodotbae (yellow
sail boat). When you board the sail boat, which departs from the Yeongsanpo
dock, you will be provided information from the captain in the Jeolla-do
dialect.
Hwangpodotbae is considered a place of
romance and separation. As it traveled countless times across the river, there
were moments of reencounters and farewells. There is a heart-rending story
associated with the Ibyeolbawi Rock (Rock of Separation) at Seokgwanjeong,
where couples promised eternal love, while shedding tears knowing that they
might never see each other again. The men who were called upon by their country
had to board the sail boat and part with their families and wives, who could
not follow them past the Ibyeolbawi Rock. However, couples believed that the
Ibyeolbawi Rock bearing witness to their true love would ensure that their love
would stand the test of time.
