Overview
JARA ISLAND takes its name from its view of a hill resembling a terrapin, "jara" in Korean. Comprising four smaller isles—Dongdo, Seodo, Jungdo, and Namdo—the island is being developed with leisure and ecological park amenities. Jungdo features a sprawling cultural park, centered around a lush grassy plaza that spans over 100 meters in diameter. Meanwhile, the west end of the Jarasum Campground is home to Ewhawon, a park designed to immerse visitors in natural ecology. Beyond its renown as a prime camping destination, Jara Island has also gained fame for hosting the Jarasum International Jazz Festival annually since 2004.
