Information Introduction Daecheongdo Island is home to some of the best beaches in Korea
Also, there are some good hiking courses on the island that offer great views above the golden beaches and rocky shores
A smaller and less populated island compared to the neighboring Baengnyeongdo Island, Daecheongdo is a perfect pastoral getaway
Island History Daecheongdo Island was said to be first inhabited during the Neolithic Age (9500-4500 BC), but the earliest known history periods begin during the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392 AD), when the island was used as a place of exile
The first known case of an exile was recorded sometime during the reign of Chinese Emperor Togon-temur (1320-d
1370) from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty
It was said that he was exiled on Daecheongdo for meddling in a plot arranged by his stepmother
He supposedly arrived on the island with 100 relatives, and built a palace here
The next known record relates to the island's abundance in medicinal herbs including mulberry mistletoe (Loranthi Ramulus), which was used to cure the illness of Queen Munjeong (d
1565), the wife of King Jungjong (d
1544)
There is no record of island inhabitation until 1793, when King Jeongjo, the 22nd king of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897), authorized the inhabitation and cultivation of the island
During the Japanese occupation of Korea (1910-1945), there were as many as 10,000 people living on the island due to its popularity as a major port
Today, there are about 1,500 people who sustain a living from tourism and fisheries
