The journey takes less than 20 minutes, one bay and two islands. Overall, the cost performance is not high. It is okay to see the night view of the bay in the evening, but during the day... There is nothing to see

If you go in early to mid-April, you can see camellia flowers in full bloom! It’s a place with a wonderful view of the ocean! If you go to Yeosu, you should definitely visit~

It's a place that's too bad to come to Yeosu and not see Hyangil-am.
It's almost at the end of Dolsan, so the travel time is long,
and even when you get there, you have to climb a lot to see Hyangil-am,
but the way up is very beautiful and the scenery is spectacular.
I hope you try it just for the view of the sea from a high place, even if you don't care about religion.

The luge is so much fun!!!
It's so much fun that I feel like I end up riding it at least 2 or 3 times!!
It feels even more enjoyable because the track is longer than those at other places.
You can even see dinosaurs while riding the lift, so there are plenty of fun elements!
Don't forget to take photos at the photo zone after riding the luge!

I parked at Dolsan Park, took the Yeosu Marine Cable Car, and then went into Odongdo. It was bright when I went in, but I came out enjoying the night view and had great timing!! This is a must-see course for traveling to Yeosu! If you go in the cold winter, there won't be many people, and it's great to take a walk and enjoy the Yeosu sea. It's great to take the cable car, and it's great to just go by car. There are a lot of delicious restaurants and places to go in the winter, so be sure to go!

The Yeosu Marine Park, connected to Yi Sun-sin Square, was a really nice place to take a walk.
Since the walking path was built right next to the sea, it was nice to walk while feeling the cool sea breeze,
and just sitting on a bench and staring blankly at the sea was healing.
I heard the night view is also pretty, so I want to go back in the evening next time.
