Bijindo

Bijindo surpasses even #5 Wando in biodiversity conservation awards, protecting rare plant species found only in its micro-ecosystem. The island’s rope-pulling festival during Chuseok preserves traditions unchanged for over 50 years, with a retention rate of 90% of local customs—a cultural continuity that #7 Imjado lacks despite its modern makeover. A single daily ferry from Tongyeong limits visitors to under 200 per day, ensuring an atmosphere that 95% of guests describe as unchangingly authentic.
