1 Introduction to Ganwoldo(Island).
Ganwoldo used to be called Piando (彼岸島), and Ganwoldam was called Piansa (彼岸寺).
Ganwoldam is a small hermitage located in Ganwoldo-ri, Buseok-myeon. It is said that it was founded by Great Master Muhak in the early Joseon Dynasty and rebuilt by Great Master Song Man-gong.
Unlike other hermitages, it is a mysterious hermitage that is connected to the land during low tide and becomes an island during high tide, so it feels like a hermitage floating on the water during high tide.
The surrounding natural scenery and the ancient temple where you can feel the breath of our ancestors are in harmony, attracting many tourists.
Also, the Gulburugi Gunwangje, which prays for a good harvest of oysters produced in Ganwoldo, is held every year on the 15th day of the first lunar month at high tide in front of the Ganwoldo-ri Eori Oyster Stew Monument. This event is held by clean women who have not committed any impure acts, wearing white clothes, dancing at the entrance of the village, and when they arrive at the oyster tower, they set up offerings and hold a ritual to pray for a good harvest of oysters. The oysters they harvest are also available for tasting by tourists.
It is said that it was built by Wonhyo Daesa, but its origin is unclear.
It was also called Yeonhwadae (蓮花臺) because it resembles a lotus flower floating on the water when the tide comes in.
In the late Goryeo Dynasty, Muhak Daesa was practicing here and suddenly became enlightened after seeing the moon, so the hermitage was named Ganwoldo (看月庵) and the island was also named Ganwoldo.
