At Seoseong Port, the starting point of the trail, a giant birthday cake sculpture, befitting the island's name "Saengildo" ("Birthday Island"), welcomes visitors. As you walk along the coastal trail, panoramic views of the Dadohae sea unfold, while forest paths offer the fragrance of wildflowers in every season.


Another highlight is passing through friendly fishing villages, which allows visitors to experience the daily life and culture of island residents up close. Saengildo boasts beautiful natural scenery, including 483-meter-high Baegunsan Mountain and the pebbled shoreline of Yongchul-ri, and was previously selected as one of South Jeolla Province’s "Islands to Visit" in 2016.



Meanwhile, throughout October, Wando County is hosting a travel review event for visitors to the recommended tourist destination. After visiting Saengildo Dullegil, participants who leave a review on the Wando Culture & Tourism website will have a chance to win Wando specialty products through a drawing.
