Jangheung

Jangheung town is a rural district in the southern part of South Jeolla Province, South Korea. Situated on the eastern side of the Jangheung Peninsula, it overlooks Deukryang Bay. The county is widely marketed under the brand name "Jeongnamjin" (meaning "Ferry of the True South"). This name signifies its geographical position as the point located directly south of Gwanghwamun, the symbolic center of Seoul. It serves as the southern counterpart to Jeongdongjin (the famous sunrise destination in the east) and Junggangjin (the northernmost point of the Korean Peninsula), establishing Jangheung as a key symbolic landmark in the country’s cardinal alignment.
