Sadong-ri is located in the Giseong-myeon area of Uljin County and provides one of the most beautiful coastal panoramas in the region. MangYang Beach (Giseong Mangyang Beach) is widely known for its white sand and emerald green waters. It is a popular spot to watch the sunrise over the East Sea, which is considered auspicious in Korean culture. The surroundings are characterized by dense pine forests that reach right down to the beach, offering natural shade. Nearby are small fishing ports where one can observe the local way of life. Gastronomically, the region's dried squid and abalone are highly sought after. Sadong-ri is a place for slowing down, well-suited for travelers seeking the union of sea and forest and wishing to enjoy undisturbed nature.
