A Trip to 'Ejak-do' Island(II)


[Left – A breathtaking view of a strait between the islands of Dae (Big) Ejak-do and So (Small) Ejak-do), as well as the surrounding islands from the top of the 'Mt. Bua'.]
After a brief lunch with bowls of rice, ramyeon and some frozen crabs as side dishes, all of our team members left our base camp pension for nearby 'Bua Mountain'. The road en route to the tracking courses near the summit was mostly paved and the neighboring villages were developed pretty well by the folks with much needed help probably from the county authority. As proceeding through the narrow and rocky mountain trail, finally, we were able to reach to the top of the mountain, and the panoramic view from the spot was really fantastic. We were particularly happy with the fact that we could see almost everything from the islands-scattered Seohae (Yellow Sea) in the west to the numerous skyscrapers in Songdo new town and other modern villages in mainland Incheon opposite side, thanks to a big telescope established at the ridge. And the climax was a view like a watercolor painting of a strait between the islands covered by a thin sea fog.
