The name Yeoseo-do is recorded in the Veritable Records of the Joseon Dynasty as coming from the island's shape, which resembles a crouching rat. Lying between Wando and Jeju Island, it is served by ferry only twice a day, so its natural landscape is well preserved. Its stone walls, more than 2 meters high, are rare anywhere in Korea and reflect the efforts of past residents to live on the island. Weather changes often, and ferries sometimes run only once a week, but the island is known for its fine stone walls and as a fishing paradise with a wide variety of fish.
