Wando County, Maritime district in South Jeolla, South Korea
Wando County encompasses multiple islands along South Korea's southern coast, with a total area of 391 square kilometers and numerous uninhabited territories.
In 828, General Jang Bogo established Cheonghaejin, a significant military headquarters and trading center on Wando Island during the Unified Silla period.
Local communities maintain strong connections to marine traditions through seasonal festivals, fishing practices, and the cultivation of traditional seafood products.
Ferry services connect the main island to smaller territories, while regional buses provide transportation links to neighboring districts and Yeosu Airport.
The region produces 22 percent of South Korea's laver seaweed, exporting 2.3 million tons of this marine product to international markets.
