Description
The Evergreen Forest of Yesong-ri is located on the southeastern shore of Bogildo Island. It was made to serve as a windbreak from typhoons by the villagers about 300 years ago. It is about 740 meters wide and is in the shape of a half moon. This forest in Yesong-ri is dense in rare plants and trees such as Machilus, Japanese Evergreen Oaks, Camellias, and Japanese Hackberries. In addition, it provides good conditions to induce fish to come to the shore. Therefore, it is designated and protected as a natural monument.
