This week (October 28 – November 1) EBS 1TV current affairs and culture program 5 episodes of ‘I Am Natural’ will be broadcast.
A natural journey in search of abundant autumn gifts across the country
In today’s world, there is nothing that cannot be touched by human touch. Nevertheless, it is an established belief that natural products are considered the best. If you think about it, nothing in the world began in nature. People who miss and like things that are natural, just as they were born and raised in the world, even if it is a little rough and rough.
Let’s meet the fresh autumn life that is born and raised with the flow of the season and is happy thanks to the gifts of nature.
In Ongjin-gun, Incheon, Seonjae Yeongheungdo Island has become popular as a resort island for city residents. Although it can be easily explored in one day via the Yeonryuk Bridge, it is said to be in the spotlight because it retains the mystery of unspoiled nature.
Singer-songwriter Ahn Su-ji and her husband visited Seonjaedo again after 10 years. That is, to see ‘Mokseom Island’, known as the mysterious sea road. It is an uninhabited island that is usually submerged in water, but when the water recedes, a sandy path opens up on the sea, allowing you to explore it. Moreover, as is the West Sea with its fine pearls, the mudflats are full of clams, making harvesting a joy.
Yeongheungdo is a 10-minute drive from Seonjaedo along Yeongheung Bridge. They say that here too, there is an amazing scenery created by nature and the sea working together. Unique rocks that look like they were transplanted from the Grand Canyon, America’s finest scenery! Take a picture of your life at the stylish rocks and small sea cave that look like books stacked on top of each other.
At this time of year, another gift from the sea of Yeongheung Island! The fall crab season is in full swing. At dawn, when everyone is asleep, 33-year-old young captain Park Sang-won diligently prepares to set sail. I chose to work at the sea because the crabs were so pretty and I liked the sound of splashing water, and I heard that he is already a 10-year veteran captain. Despite the hard work of walking and throwing 1,500 crab traps a day all night long, these people are happy just by looking at crabs. Enjoy the true taste of the sea in Yeongheungdo in the fall.
