Gatbawi Rock is made of natural sandstone and tafoni (small cave-like features found in sandstone and other granular rocks, with rounded entrances and smooth concave walls). It stands between 6 to 8 meters (20-26 feet). There are also two folk legends surrounding the formation of the rocks. The first legend is about a poor young man who lived with his sick father and sold salt. He then worked as a farmhand for a wealthy family to make enough money to cure his father's illness. Though he did well at the job, his master didn't pay him. When the young man returned home after one month, he found his father's dead body. The man was upset that he did not care for his father that month, as he was working to have enough money to cure him. Then he thought the least he could do was to try to make his father comfortable in the afterlife. Unfortunately, as the young man was carrying his father's body in a coffin, he slipped and dropped the coffin into the sea. He felt awful about accidentally burying his father underwater. To make amends for his action, the young man stayed in that same spot, wearing a bamboo hat until his death so that he could not see the sky. After his death, the two rocks rose up at Gatbawi. Another legend is that when Buddha and a disciple traveled the Yeongsan River, they stopped to rest at Gatbawi. Then, they continued on their journey, leaving behind their hats. It is said that their hats became the rocks, making them known as the "monk rocks." The legends are fascinating, and I also enjoyed the stroll around the nature reserve. Being on the coast is always relaxing. The nature reserve is not far from the museums and ship replicas in Mokpo. #tourism #coastalcharm #naturalwonders #adventureawaits #adventure #falltrip

The rocks are beautiful and the nature is peaceful.
Douyuyan, located at the end of the seaside landscape belt of Mupu City, Quanluonan Road, South Korea, is an important natural scenery and tourist attraction in Mupu City. Douyuyan is a natural rock that is hit by the waves. The entire scenic spot is free of tickets and opens all day. Visitors can view it from the water up close through the trestle bridge. There are lights at night, and overall, relying on the scenery near the sea, this Douyan is quite good. It is recommended to visit for 15 minutes. Since the traffic here is not particularly developed, walking becomes the first choice. Very good scenic spot, worth visiting, come to the two classic scenic spots in Mupu City: Ruda Mountain + Douyuyan!
Very interesting Douyuyan, very good, taking pictures here is memorable.
Douyu rock is a very characteristic thing, rock is like a douyu, but not very big, surrounded by very abrupt areas, this rock is formed because of the corrosion of seawater.
Douyuyan, this is one of the famous attractions of this small city.
