After taking a 4.5 hour bus ride to Mokpo from Seoul, then another 2.5 hour ferry ride, I’ve finally arrived at this beautiful little island of Hongdo in the Yellow Sea, way down southwest of South Korea.
The island only has a population of 710.

On Hongdo, meaning "Red Island" due to the red coloring found on many of the rocky outcroppings, there are about 270 varieties of evergreens and 170 species of animals. The government wished to preserve the natural state of the island so Hongdo was designated as a Natural Preserve Area in 1965, and became part of Dadohae Marine National Park in 1981. Because the entire island of Hongdo is declared a Natural Monument, no one is allowed to enter areas other than the villages and designated tourist areas.

Mokpo Browndot Hotel Peace Square

8/10 Good

"Clean and quiet. Also, seems weird that so many Korean hotels only provide one full sized bath towel. "

FromH Heritage Hotel Mokpo

10/10 Excellent

"Building is brand new and very clean, within walking distance of nightlife and shopping district. Breakfast was just a to-go box consisting of half of a sandwich, a rice ball, and 2 cherry tomatoes. You also got a juice box. Thankfully, the coffee machine on first floor is very nice."

Yaja Hotel Peace Square branch

10/10 Excellent

"가격, 위치 등을 종합적으로 고려했을 때 가성비 면에서는 최고의 숙소인 듯 합니다. 청결 상태가 좋고, 샤워 부스와 화장실, 메이크업 룸이 나름 분리된 욕실도 좋았어요. 저는 딱딱한 침대를 좋아해서 메트리스가 저한테는 맞지 않았지만 침대가 익숙한 분들은 좋아하실 듯요. 저는 가족과 목포 맛집 돌아다니느라 아침 식사를 거의 하지 않았지만 이 가격에 조식 포함이라는 것을 생각해 보면 나름 괜찮은 듯요. 무료 공영 주차장이 바로 옆에 있어 주차가 편리한 것도 큰 장점입니다."
