Mokpo
The term Mokpo literally translates as "the harbor with a large portion of forests". Mokpo has frequent high-speed train services to Seoul and is the terminus for a number of ferry routes to islands. Mokpo is also valued for its proximity to abundant crops. The large number of islands surrounding Mokpo have also served as a protective barrier, making the city less vulnerable to high tides and tsunamis.
