[Hongdo, the jewel of Dadohae, is Gitdaebong] Hongdo, a small island in Dadohae Marine National Park and the entire island is a natural monument (No. 170), is an island where the 368-meter-high Gitdaebong and 231-meter Yangsanbong peak float like ants. The entire island is made of reddish-brown quartzite rock, so it is called Hongdo (紅島), but it is also called Maegado because it resembles a plum blossom floating on the sea. Hongdo is a natural tourist destination where you can enjoy everything from sea bathing, scuba diving, cruises, and mountain climbing. However, since the coastline is only 20.8 kilometers long, the only way to hike is over Gitdaebong Peak, the route used by Hongdo District 1 and 2 residents. However, if you take a cruise ship and depart from Padol (Pebble) Beach, you can tour the entire island and view Gitdaebong Peak. Since it is an island, there are many cases where ships cannot depart due to weather conditions such as typhoons, so you must have Plus Alpha for 3 days and 2 nights to visit Hongdo. One thing to note is that the entire island is designated as a natural monument, so you cannot take even a single blade of grass or a stone. Hongdo Pung Orchid, which grows in the sea breeze, is a representative rare plant.
