Yeondong Fishing Village Experience Village

Yeondong Fishing Village Experience Recreation Village is a fishing village located in Gampo-eup, Gyeongju-si, close to Pohang, Ulsan, and Daegu. The front of the village faces the sea, and the back has high mountains, giving it the geographical characteristics of being cool in summer and warm in winter. It is easily accessible via National Route 3, which connects downtown Gyeongju to the coast, and National Route 31, which links the coastline, and it attracts tourists with its abundant and fresh seafood.
In the village, snorkeling experiences and fishing village accommodation experiences are operated. The snorkeling experience runs for two months in July and August, and you can directly harvest abalone. Accommodation is provided at a village pension called Stay Yeondong, available year-round, and a beautiful sea unfolds right in front of the pension. The waves are not strong and the sea right in front is not deep, making it good for playing in the water.
Regarding the origin of the village name, there are two stories: one says that three families with different surnames from the late Goryeo period migrated here and formed the village, and because there were many lotus flowers in the pond at that time, it was called Yeondong; another says that from the late Joseon period until just before Liberation, there were salt fields in this area, so it was called Yeomdong and later became Yeondong.
