About

The name Dongpirang is a combination of the Korean words "dong," meaning east, and "birang," meaning hill in the Tongyeong dialect. In October 2007, the Tongyeong Agenda 21 association invited people throughout the nation to paint murals on the walls of Dongpirang-gil Street. Thanks to the participants' paintings, this hillside village on the sea became a new place, revitalized by art. The view overlooking the sea and Gangguan Port is fantastic as well.
