'''The island where Taoists stayed'''
Seonyu Island is located in Gunsan city, South Korea. The island was called Gunsan Island
originally. There is the Seonyu peak at the northern tip of the island. The shape of peak looks
like two Taoists sitting together and playing baduk. That is the reason why we call it Seonyu
Island. Originally the island was separated into three parts, but with the development of a long
reef in the middle they were connected as one island.
