Cheongsando

Cheongsando (Korean: 청산도) is an island off the south coast of the Republic of Korea. It is the main island of Cheongsan-myeon, Wando County, South Jeolla Province. Accompanied by the four inhabited islands of Daemodo, Somodo, Yeoseodo, and Jangdo, and several uninhabited islands, it is called Cheong

sando ('green mountain island') because it remains green through four seasons. It has long been called Seonsan or Seonwon, meaning that a Taoist hermit dwells on the island because of the beautiful view which creates a harmony with the clear and blue archipelago.
