Mokpo, Port city in South Jeolla Province, South Korea
Mokpo extends along the southwestern coast of South Korea, where its harbor connects the mainland with numerous islands in the Yellow Sea.
The city transformed from a small fishing village into a major trading port after becoming an open port in October 1897.
Museums across Mokpo display maritime artifacts, local history collections, and exhibitions that document the evolution of South Korean coastal trade.
The transportation network includes high-speed trains to Seoul, regular ferry services to nearby islands, and regional bus connections throughout South Jeolla.
The Mokpo Special Tourist Zone spans 6.9 kilometers, incorporating the northern port, Yudalsan mountain area, and Samhakdo island.
