On April 15 of that year, Japanese troops packed 30 villagers of Jeam-ri into a church, shot into the church, and then burnt it. 24 dead were found inside church and six in th churchyard. Not satisfied with this savagery, they burnt down 31 residences in the village. In 1982 the Korean government laid these martyrs in a new cemetery on the hillside of Jeam-ri and erected a large memorial tower on the church site, which is designated and managed as Historical Site No.299. Along the shore of Seoshin-myeon, Hwaseong County, high gide cuts off Jebudo Islet twice a day.
Low tide exposes a paved road leading from the mainland to the islet.
Driving along the seafloor is a rather weird experience which lures many visitors. The western shore of the islet boasts fine and clean sand and shallow water that makes it an ideal bathing spot. The greenery behind it is perfect for camping. The rosy sunset glow adds to the breathtaking beauty. Visitors can have great fun picking shellfish, including oysters, on the southern tideland.
