Odongdo Island Park in Yeosu City

Odongdo Island Park is conveniently linked to the mainland of the Yeosu Port area in Southern Jeolla Province, South Korea.

The park boasts not only its ecological diversity but also its strategic position to view the stunning sights of Hallyeohaesang National Park.

Hallyeohaesang National Park is one of the most various and vast national parks in the country. Above all, it is known for its beautiful islands, beach areas, sea views, and voluminous flora and fauna.

Of course, there is more to what is written here and much more exciting and refreshing than you can imagine.

I think that linking Odongdo Island Park to the mainland of Yeosu was a beautiful idea. I said beautiful because it is not only practical but looks nice, despite its being a human-made link.

And yes, the link (which also functions as the breakwater wall) makes the island more accessible in a quick and practical manner.

Odongdo is famous for...

White Camelia Flowers

Red Camelia Flowers

Odongdo Island is famous for its wildflowers. Researchers accounted for at least seventy (70) species of flowers that flourish here for a long time.

One of the most prominent flowers is the Camelia flower. I assume you know its attractive and exotic red flowers that bloom not during the Spring season but in November in South Korea when the temperature begins to get colder.

The flowers of Camelia blanket the island with scarlet color in November until the following April. People say that this spectacle seems to make the island like an enormous Camelia flower in bloom.

Since Odongdo Island Park in Yeosu is adorned with various plant species, many primary schools bring in their young students to learn about ecology outside their schools' walls. Yes, I saw them, kids!

Traveling to Odongdo Island Park

To reach Odongdo Island, I presume that you know you have to go to Yeosu City, where this island lies waiting.

You can reach Yeosu via the comfortable public transports: trains, buses, boats.

By Bus
I took the bus from Gwangju City (bus terminal) as I was already in the province. It took only over an hour to reach Yeosu Intercity Bus Terminal via express bus.

But then you need to take a local bus or a taxi to bring you to the Odongdo area. A cab would only take between 10 to 15 minutes to reach the area. But it would approximately take 20 minutes for a bus to do it.

Take Bus #333 that will bring you near the gate from where you can start walking the concrete that links the mainland Yeosu City and Odongdo Island.

Yeosu Expo Station

By Train
You can also take any train from any available stations in the country. It would be best if you reached Yeosu Expo Station (train) where you can catch Bus #2 or 333 to Odongdo Island area.

If you took the train, you could take a walk to Odongdo, which will take around twenty minutes.

Yes, you can also reach Yeosu and Odongdo by boat if you are visiting the nearby islands or cities in South Jeolla Province.

Now that you have some information about this impressive island, you may either start preparing for your travel or study further. Let me know if you have questions ^^.
