Course Overview
Dangjin's Waemok Village is the only place in Korea where sunrise, sunset, and moonrise can all be seen from one location, thanks to its unique geography facing an inland sea from the west coast. The route starts at Sapgyoho Tourist Area, crosses Seongmun Seawall, and reaches Waemok Village.
The drive along Seongmun Seawall with ocean and lake stretching on both sides creates a distinctive landscape. At Waemok Village, photo spots include the Ojakgyo Bridge, Seongmungak Pavilion, and Candlestick Rock.
