[Origin] The home of Yeongdeok snow crabs and a paradise of seagulls, the story of Ganggu
Yeongdeok-eup is inland, so the home of snow crabs was originally Gangguhang Port. They should be called Ganggu snow crabs instead of Yeongdeok snow crabs. But long ago, Gangguhang Port was a small port that wasn't that well known. Yeongdeok-eup was better known since it was a large village. That's why they called the snow crabs Yeongdeok snow crabs. The port might have been small, but it was a very active port full of energy.

A place with tension and energy. A white lighthouse, red markers and waves like the teeth of whales. It's beautiful to see that all this is alive. There are thousands of seagulls at the wharf. The reason is pretty interesting. If seagulls are here, it means there is good food. A lot of pollack is caught at Gangguhang Port. Fishermen gutted the pollack on the breakwater to start drying them right away. There were always a lot of pollack intestines on the breakwater. There is no way seagulls would give up a feast like that. There is a fun story that the people of Ganggu are wakened by the cries of seagulls and they can't go to sleep until the seagulls quiet down.
