About
Gimpo Daemyeong Port is a local fishing port in Gimpo, where seafood is sold directly at the fish market, and it faces the coast of Ganghwa Island, so visitors can enjoy sea views. In spring, small octopus and blue crab are sold, and in late autumn, plump blue crab and shrimp are available, which draws many visitors.
A festival found only here, the fishing festival (Pungeojae), is held every year on Jeongwol Daeboreum, the first full moon of the lunar new year. This ritual prays for the peace of the village and also helps release the pain of history that unfolded around the West Sea.
Other seasonal events, such as the large prawn festival in autumn, add more to see and fresh food to enjoy.
