Churches in Dodong is a self-guided walking tour of the Christian places of worship in Dodong-ri, the main port village on Ulleungdo Island. The route covers two small churches that serve the island's fishing community, set against the dramatic coastal cliffs and the East Sea. Visitors can observe the simple architecture and local congregational life that has persisted on this remote volcanic island.
What to expect
- The walk takes 1 to 1.5 hours and covers the two churches in Dodong-ri, including the prominent Dodong Church near the harbourfront.
- You will see the exterior and, if open, the modest interiors of the churches, which feature wooden pews and Korean-language hymn boards.
- The route includes a short climb to the hillside church, offering a direct view over Dodong Harbour and the ferry terminal below.
- This activity suits travellers interested in local island culture and religious architecture, rather than large or ornate cathedrals.
- You can combine the visit with a stop at the nearby Dodong-ri lighthouse, which is a 10-minute walk from the second church.
