🏛️ 2. Representative tourist points
Ilgwangam (日光岩): The highest point on the island at 92.7m above sea level. The panoramic view from the top of the mountain is a must-see spot.
菽庄花园 & Piano Museum: The tranquil combination of the garden and a luxury antique piano (over 70 years old) is emotional.
It is rich in tangible and intangible cultural resources such as the underwater world, foreign cultural heritage museum, and cathedral.
