After visiting the school on Hwangdo, I headed back to the main road to explore another abandoned school. This school and the school on the island both were originally independent schools but later were incorporated as branch schools of Changgi Elementary respectively in 1999 (This school) and 2003 (Hwangdo). On the way to this school, I was surprised to see pheasants since I've never seen one before in the wild. After a good 20 minute walk, I finally arrived to the site. The school was relatively easy to enter. Most of the windows have been removed on one side of the building. The school was built in 1984. Although built 29 years after the school on Hwangdo was established, the interiors of both schools were remarkably similar. There was a peacefulness while exploring the classrooms of the school with the breeze rattling the old wooden window frames. Parts of the floor had started to collapse and I didn't dare test to see if they held my weight. The very end of the hallway was bored up and it there was no way of opening the door. Peering from the outside, it looked it served as a storage room. One of the spookier parts of the school were the toilet. This is probably from watching too many Korean horror films but I still did go in explore the toilet stalls. Overall it was an interesting day and after walking 5 kilometers from the island to the main road, I called it a day and headed back home
