According to the Samguk Sagi, in 757, during the reign of Silla's King Gyeongdeok, the island's old native names were replaced with Chinese-character names by scholars who had studied in Tang China. The name Jaeun (慈恩) was used for about 1,300 years, and it also appears in the Goryeosa and many historical records, including the Joseon Veritable Records. Attractions include Baekgil Beach, Bungye Beach, the Muhan Bridge (Bridge of Infinity), and the 1004 Island Museum Park, making it a good place for sightseeing.
