GIMHAE, June 21 (Korea Bizwire) —Doyo Village, situated in the northernmost part of Gimhae City, Gyeongsangnam-do, derives its name from the abundant presence of doyo birds that used to visit and inhabit the area alongside the river.
Nestled between Mount Mucheok and the Nakdong River, this riverside village exudes natural beauty and tranquility. Renowned as a slow city, it is also home to the Doyo Ecological Park, serving as an ecological sanctuary.
