Yeosu, Port city in South Jeolla, South Korea
Yeosu extends across a peninsula and 365 surrounding islands, with 48 inhabited islands creating a network of coastal settlements and natural harbors.
During the Joseon Dynasty from 1392 to 1910, Yeosu functioned as the primary naval headquarters before operations transferred to the city of Tongyeong.
The Yeosu region maintains traditional seafood preparation methods, including the creation of gejang marinated crab and gat-kimchi from local mustard greens.
