Namdanghang Port, located at the west end of Hongseong, is a famous Yellow Sea port known for its exceptional seafood. Surrounded by the clean waters of Cheonsuman Bay, Namdahang Port draws throngs of visitors between early September and mid-October every year for the country’s largest jumbo shrimp festival, which has been held since 1907.

A major jumbo shrimp party unfolds along the west coast of Korea from October to November, and as the shrimp are in season, this is the ideal period to enjoy the savory food. The jumbo shrimp festival offers not only food, but also various activities in which visitors can take part, such as catching clams in the mud flats or even personally catching jumbo shrimp. It also holds a diverse range of events, such as traditional rites (rituals for a big catch of fish), fishing boat parades and singing contests, as well as hands-on experience programs for catching and peeling jumbo shrimp.
