🇰🇷【Jeju Haenyeo Museum｜Feel the tenacity and strength of the sea】✨

When visiting Jeju, besides the natural scenery, there's also a unique culture worth experiencing—the Haenyeo culture.

📍Address: 3204-1 Sangdo-ri Gujwa-eup Jeju-si Jeju-do
🕘Opening Hours: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

The Haenyeo profession has been practiced for centuries in the area. They dive to the seabed to collect seafood using only their breath, without any diving equipment. It sounds romantic, but in reality, it's extremely dangerous. They brave the waves time and again to protect their families, and their resilience is truly admirable.

In the museum, you can see a wealth of historical diving equipment—from the most primitive tools to increasingly refined equipment—that clearly documents their struggles. Each exhibit tells a story.

Walking through the museum, you can not only learn about their lives but also feel the power of the ocean. Many parents bring their children here to let them understand the challenges of life and learn about courage and perseverance.

If you're interested in cultural stories, this place is a must-see. It's more than just an exhibition space; it's a window into the soul of Jeju. 🌊
