The island is called Sorokdo because it looks like a deer from a distance. 
It is a popular destination for volunteers. The story of the Austrian sisters Marianne and Margaret, who were suffering from Hansen's disease, is inspiring. The island is rich in cultural and natural attractions, including a pristine environment, beautiful scenery, dense pine forests, and historical monuments.

We see hope in pain and healing in suffering. Go to Sorokdo, an island that makes you feel alive. See the Sorokdo Central Park, Gura Pagoda, poet Han Ha-woon's barley flute, Sorokdo Museum, and other traces of mourning.
