Hongdo, in Heuksan-myeon, Sinan County, is a satellite island of Daeheuksan Island within Dadohaesang National Park, and is also called Maegado. Its 20-plus islets earned it the nickname 'Little Geumgang of the South Sea,' and the sunrise seen between two rocks at Nokseom is spectacular, as is the sunset. The whole island is a natural monument, so nothing may be taken from it, and it is home to rare Hongdo pungran orchids. Ferries are often cancelled by weather, and from Seoul a trip of at least 2 nights and 3 days is needed to see the whole island.
