Tongyeong is a city of culture that boasts the spiritual heritage of the Hansandaechop (Battle of Hansando Island) and the cultural patrimony of Tongjeyoung, which flourished for more than 300 years. In addition, Tongyeong is recognized as the city of arts, having nurtured many of Korea’s most celebrated artists, including world-renowned composer Yun I-sang, novelist Pak Kyongni, painter Jeon Hyuck-lim, and poet Kim Choon-su.

Blessed with more than 570 picturesque islands and the pristine waters of Hallyeohaesang, Tongyeong is also a premier marine tourism destination, beloved by visitors for its breathtaking seascape and a variety of fresh seafood.

Guided by our slogan, “Citizen-Centered, Strong Tongyeong,” we will work together with our proud community of 120,000 residents to build a city where people aspire to live—a vibrant and dynamic city filled with enduring dreams and hope.

We deeply value every suggestion you may have and regard your insights as an important foundation for the city’s continued growth and development. Together, let us build a new Tongyeong, a hopeful Tongyeong.

Thank you.
