Admission is free, and the site always seems to be open. It is found in Ganghwa Dolmen Park which is next to the History Museum. The Jiseokmyo Dolmen is a "table top" shaped Dolmen which is the best known Dolmen on Ganghwa. Thank you to the KOCIS (Korean Culture and Information Service) and Funday Korea Networks for taking on this fantastic trip to Ganghwado and the Ganghwa Dolmen Heritage site. This area provides a fantastic chance to view pre-historic Korean history right up close. You can also view traditional Korean houses near the dolmen and the Ganghwa History Museum is very close to the dolmen. We visited during the autumn season and the area around the dolmen created a fantastic array of golden colors including swaying reeds and changing leaves. I think that afternoon or evening time is a perfect time to visit. I highly recommend visiting Ganghwado for its rich history, especially the Ganghwa dolmen. They believe that the dolmen might have been used for ancestral rites. Ganghwa dolmen is a table-top type dolmen and has the largest stone in Korea. It's really interesting to observe the theories and history behind the dolmen. Dolmens are stone graves or tombs that were thought to be formed in the pre-historic era. If you visit Ganghwado Island you should try to make a stop at this UNESCO heritage (2000) site.
