Korean name안인항

Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

Anin is located to the east of Chilsadang in downtown Gangneung, which served as a government office during the Joseon Dynasty. Here, 'an' means comfort and 'in' means east in terms of direction, so Anin means a comfortable place to the east of Gangneung. In Anin, about 85 households are engaged in fishing and there are about 42 fishing boats. The main fishing season is from October to February of the following year, and mainly flatfish and flounder are caught. Because it is where the Gunseon River and seawater meet, many mullet come up, making it a popular spot for local fishing enthusiasts, and a fish festival is held on March 3 and September 9 every year. In addition, there are many abalone and seaweeds, and aquaculture is also active for flounder and abalone. The sea distance of the coastal fishing grounds, the main fishing grounds, is about 1-5 km.
