Ulleung Jukdo Island (죽도(울릉))

Description

Jukdo Island is a small inhabited island near Ulleungdo Island, located 4 kilometers apart from Jeodonghang Port and 7 kilometers away from Dodonghang Port, both of which are nestled northeast of Ulleungdo Island. Normally, tourists visit Jukdo Island on their way back to the 'mainland' by taking a ferry service that departs from Dodonghang Port.

The natural environment of Jukdo Island is uncontaminated, thus almost everything is so pristine to the extent that people can even collect rainwater to drink, much thanks to its geological and cultural distance from the more modernized parts of Korea.
