Daecheong-myeon

Daecheong-myeon combines the isolation of South Korea’s far-western islands with administrative ties to Incheon in a way that reflects its maritime position in the Yellow Sea. Centered on Daecheong Island and encompassing smaller islands, it forms part of Ongjin County, far from Incheon’s mainland urban core. These waters lie close to the maritime boundary with North Korea, giving the area a strategic as well as seafaring character. Fishing has long shaped local life, and the identity of the township rests on sea routes, rugged shores and small island communities.
