ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Songdo Skywalk, 129-4, Amnam-dong, Seo-gu, Busan South Korea
The sky walk has drawn attention as the first of its kind in Korea, and for its long, curving trail. To date, the first section of the walk
has been installed and measures 104 m, stretching around Geobukseom Island. When completed next February, the Songdo Sky Walk will
set a new record as the longest ocean walk in Korea at 296 m in length and 2.3 m in width.
The sky walk will also have a viewing platform stretching out into the water to give visitors a spectacular view of the coastline.
Transparent tempered glass was also used in sections of the flooring for the walk, allowing for clear views of the waters below and
giving people the true sensation of walking on water. It is positioned 5.5~8 m above sea level making it far closer to the sea than
the Oryukdo Sky Walk, which is positioned 37 m above the shore, along a seashore cliff. Everyone will be able to enjoy the thrilling and
exciting experience of watching blue waves under their feet.

During Korea war, displaced people built houses on it even on the top, but 2 times of big fires took all them away making it bald mountain. Since then, fierce efforts to plant trees have created such beautiful park. The name of the park was once Unam park in the time of the Liberal Party’s ruling but it went back to Yungdosan park after April revolution (1960). It is a place with beautiful scenery. Especially the night landscape from Busan tower is magnificent
