3. Seuldo Island (슬도)
Introduction
Seuldo is an island located off the coast of Ulsan in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. Seuldo (meaning geomungo, a Korean stringed instrument) is named so because the sound of wind and waves hitting the rocky island is similar to the sound of a geomungo. In fact, the sound of the waves hitting the island is so good that it is also called Seuldomyeongpa or the sound of the waves. This island is also called Siru Island (Siru) because it resembles an upside-down Siru, and Gombo Island (Gombo) because of the holey stone. The island has an unmanned lighthouse built in the late 1950s. The island's main economic activity is fishing.
