The Nutty Taste of Mokpo, Jungkkan
#12 Daemyeongchun
One of the well-known foods in Mokpo is something called “Jungkkan.” According to what you can find through a quick search, the name comes from shortening “ganjjajang from Junghwaru” into “Jungkkan.”It seems that the original place is Junghwaru, located in the old downtown shopping area.

Storage of Mokpo’s Modern and Contemporary History
#11 Old Downtown ; Around Mokpo Station
There were two main reasons why I chose Mokpo as the destination for this trip. One was the restaurants of Mokpo.

Goha Island is an island located in the […]
