Jangjado Island is one of the Gogunsan Islands, and it is called Jangjado because the legend has it that a strong man was born here. Locals say that, when a fishing boat runs into a storm in the sea, it is safe to take shelter on this island, which is why it is also known as a refuge harbor. Jangjado Island is connected to Seonyudo Island by Jangjagyo Bridge.Jangjado Island is located in the very center of all Gogunsan Islands and from the Daejangbong Peak, the 63 Gogunsan Islands unfold before one's eyes like a panorama, making it a popular filming spot chosen by the three broadcasting companies as well as the Corean Alpine Club and the Photo Artists Society of Korea. It offers various leisure activities from a mud flat experience and sea fishing to hiking Daejangbong Peak, which is a famous sunrise and sunset watching spot, and cruise tour of the Gogunsan Islands.
