Overview

Located at the end of Jeokbyeokgang Cliff, Suseongdang Shrine is the only shrine in Korea that is dedicated to the sea god &ldquo;Gaeyang Halmeoni&rdquo; (Granny Gaeyang), the deity who rules over the West Sea, and her eight daughters. This is a place that holds rituals for the welfare and safety of fishers. Visitors can also see cairns dedicated to the fishermens&rsquo; safety. For tourists, however, this shrine is notable for its canola flowers. In early spring, the road connecting Suseongdang Shrine with Jeokbyeokgang Cliff blooms in yellow canola flowers, creating a beloved view and a premier photo area of the region. It is a recommended spot to see the flowers when visiting Buan in springtime.<br>
