Galdu Village, also referred to as Ttangkkeut (Land's-end) Village in Haenam-gun, Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City is at the southernmost point of the Korean peninsula. The island has an observatory at Sajabong Peak, where one can get an unobstructed view of the southern archipelago, and even a glimpse of Hallsan Mountain on Jeju Island on a clear day. The name "galdu" originated from the Chinese characters for arrowroot, which was commonly found in the nearby mountains.
