Manghaesa Temple is located at the edge of the Gimje Plains before the sea. The temple stands at the summit of Jinbongsan Mountain. The temple was named for the view of the ocean and the fields of rice. The temple was established by the great monk Buseol Geosa during the 2nd year of King Uija of Baekje (AD 642). Years later, Dobeopsa (a Chinese monk from the Tang dynasty) renovated the temple. The temple was altered again during the reign of King Injo of the Joseon dynasty when the great monk Jinmuk Daesa built Nakseojeon Hall in 1589. Bogwangjeon Hall and Chilseonggak Pavilion were built much later in 1933. Manghaesa Temple is unique in that it is the only temple where the distant horizon is visible over both land and sea. Nearby attractions include a walking path through a field of reeds by Mangyeonggang River and views of the sunset over the sea.

Seonyudo Island, one of the most popular tourist destinations on the west coast during the summer, lies in the heart of the Gogunsan Archipelago. The island has an area of 2.12 ㎢, which is only about 1/4 of Yeouido in Seoul. The island's coastal shore is around 12.8 kilometers long and the highest point is Namaksan Mountain, which reaches about 155.6 meters in altitude. Seonyudo is the central point of Gogunsan Archipelago and has even served as the headquarters for the naval army during the Joseon dynasty. It played a vital role during the Imjin War as Admiral Yi spent days on the islands to prepare for the next battle after his victory in the Battle of Myeongnyang. 

Visitors can enjoy the island in three ways. First is to look around the neighboring islands. Seonyudo, Munyeodo, Jangjado, and Daejangdo islands are all connected by a bridge, allowing one to move between the islands on foot or a bicycle. Other ways to enjoy the island is to take a walk along the Myeongsa-simni Shore, one of the Eight Scenes of Seonyudo, and to try the clam collecting program at a mudflat.

Munyeodo Island is located approximately 50.8 kilometers southwest of Gunsan-si, and forms the Gogunsan Islands together with Seonyudo, Sinsido, Jangjado, and other islands. Its total area occupies 1.75 square kilometers and its coastline is 11.6 kilometers long. Today, with Seonyudo in the middle, there are bridges installed between Munyeodo and Seonyudo, Seonyudo and Jangjado, and Jangjado and Daejangdo, so visitors are able to walk around as if they are on a single island. Other than Munyeobong Peak (131 meters) on the southwestern part of the island, the region is vast but lacks any tall mountains.

Seonyudo Island is located in the center of the Gogunsan Islands, which consist of about 20 islands, and is approximately 50 kilometers away from Gunsan Port. It is also one of the most popular vacation spots on the entire West Coast.

The location that serves as a basecamp when travelling to Seonyudo and the nearby islands is Jin-ri Village on Seonyudo. It neighbors Seonyudo Beach, which is famously known as ""Myeongsasimni,"" and faces Mangjubong Peak that stands tall like Maisan mountain. The island is crowded with schools, inns, restaurants, bike rental shops, stores, karaokes and campgrounds, which is why the area is a bit boisterous during the vacation seasons. If you wish to escape from such noise, it would be a good idea to rent a bicycle and bike to Munyeodo, Jangjado or Jinwol-ri over Mangjubong Peak.

Seonyudo Island is the home of the 8 Scenic Spots of Seonyu, but the most gorgeous scenery of them all is Mangjubong Peak, which is practically the symbol of the island. Once you climb up to the top, the nearby islands and the sea come together in a cool panoramic view, which also includes the neatly sprawling Myeongsasimni Beach as well as Pyeongsanagan that resembles a seagull landing over the water. The splendid sunset on Seonyudo Island is incredible no matter where you are, whether it'll be atop Mangjubong Peak or Seonyudo Beach.

Jangjado Island is one of the Gogunsan Islands, and it is called Jangjado because the legend has it that a strong man was born here.
