October 21, 2021 Leonardo Torrence

Tongyeong (Korean pronunciation: [tʰoŋ.jʌŋ]) is a coastal city in South Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. In 2010, it had an area of 238.81 km and a population of 139,869 people. It is divided into 1 eup (town), 6 myeon (township) and 11 dong (neighborhood). Chungmu city and Tongyeong county were reunited in 1995, creating Tongyeong City as it is known today. It consists of Goseong Peninsula, Hansan Island, Mireuk Island and other islets. It was formerly known as Chungmu, after the posthumous name of Admiral Yi Sun-sin. The name Tongyeong means "command post" and is itself associated with Admiral Yi, as it refers to his principal base that was located on nearby Hansan Island.

Tongyeong Traditional Craft Museum

Reviewed By JoeyChai1210

This place gives you more insights on the traditional Korean handcrafts--where the decoratives is made from the pearl and abalone shells. The shells are carefully selected and well-processed, which is why it's costly as compared to the normal hand crafts. There are actually one-day class for making hand-mirror wth shells here in this museum, which is quite a new and nice experience for me.
