Danghangpo Tourist Site

Danghangpo Tourist Site, located in Hoewha-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gyeongnam, opened in November 1987. It is largely divided into two areas, the Yi Sun-sin theme and the dinosaur theme, and the entire tourist site is used as the main venue of the Gyeongnam Goseong Dinosaur World Expo held every autumn. The Yi Sun-sin theme area, the site of the victory at the Battle of Danghangpo, has facilities honoring the spirit of national defense such as Sungchungsa Shrine, the Danghangpo Naval Battle Hall, the Turtle Ship Exhibition Hall, and the Chungmugong Diorama Hall. The dinosaur theme area permanently operates various dinosaur content such as Dinosaur Hill, the Theme Hall, and the Korean Peninsula Dinosaur Footprint Fossil Hall. It also has diverse viewing facilities such as the Goseong Natural History Museum, the Dinosaur Country Botanical Garden, and the Goseong Suiseok Exhibition Hall, as well as camping grounds and auto camping grounds as accommodation facilities. In addition to the Dinosaur Expo, it operates theme events suited to each season of spring, summer, and winter, providing things to see year-round. It has been selected as an 'Excellent Open Tourist Site' under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and barrier-free trails connect all areas. Outdoor elevators (escalators) have been installed on sloped sections to improve accessibility, and systematic convenience facilities such as restrooms for the disabled and tactile guide signs are fully equipped. It is a comprehensive tourist complex where historical value, dinosaur content, and an environment for the transportation-weak harmonize.
