About Jindo
Jindo got its current name in 1001, having been named "Haeyangdo" from the year 995, and "Okjoo-gun" as one of the 14 Korean states. It was invaded by the Mongols and the Japanese. The island is now part ofJindo County, an archipelago of around 230 small islands, of which only 45 are inhabited by 4,855 people. Jindo is known to Koreans for three things: Jin-do is mountainous and coastal. The shores are mostly industrial or undeveloped. Like Seoul, Jin-do experiences warm springs and rainy summers. Temperatures stay mild into the long autumn months, and the city is often sheltered from coastal winds by its mountainous surroundings.
