What Is This Place?

At Ganghwa Dolmen Sites, you can see prehistoric tombs made of large stones. They are part of the dolmen sites inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site together with Gochang and Hwasun, and offer a close look at the size and structure of the stones.

Explore while considering how the stones were erected

Ganghwa's representative dolmen is a table-style structure with a large capstone resting on support stones. Look at its shape first, then read the on-site explanation of Bronze Age tombs and life to understand the site more easily.

Even if you want to photograph the dolmen's size, do not climb or lean on the stones. View the whole structure from permitted areas; a companion can stand some distance away for comparison.

Ganghwa History Museum helps provide context

Ganghwa History Museum is beside Dolmen Park, making it convenient to combine outdoor remains and artifacts. See the dolmens before the museum, or visit the site while recalling what you learned in the exhibitions.

Outdoor site visits and museum admission have different operating conditions. If visiting the museum too, check closed days and last admission separately, and bring supplies for rain or strong sun.
