Yeosu is known as a paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of dishes. The representative dish of the Yeosu region, dolgejang baekban (marinated crab set menu), is considered one of the top ten delicacies of Yeosu, along with grilled eel, braised hairtail, and the traditional Yeosu set meal. The main ingredient used in crab marinated in soy sauce is the snow crab and freshwater crab known locally as dolga or banjanggae.

It was destroyed during the Imjin War in 1592, and later in 1748 (the 24th year of Joseon King Yeongjo’s reign), it was rebuilt and renamed “Bongwonsa” by two Buddhist monks, Chanjeup and Jeungam. “Yeongsanjae,” one of the Buddhist rituals and also a National Intangible Cultural Property, takes place at Bongwonsa on June 6 every year wishing for world peace and the reunification of North and South Korea. It was designated as one of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2009.
