During the 500 years of the Goryeo period, the Gangjin area was always the largest production base for celadon in the country. Among the existing celadon cultural relics in Korea, more than 80% were produced in Gangjin, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship of Gangjin celadon production. In the past, Gangjin had a developed sea transportation network and convenient access, with soil, dye, water quality, and climate conditions suitable for producing celadon, thus enjoying excellent natural advantages for its production. Nowadays, to promote Goryeo celadon to the world, the Gangjin region holds an annual Celadon Cultural Festival, attracting a large number of tourists.
