Oryukdo Skywalk

Korean name오륙도 스카이워크

Machine-translated from Korean. Show original

The old name of Oryukdo Skywalk is 'Seungdumal'. Seungdumal was called 'Seungduma' because it looked like a saddle, which then became Seungdumal, and haenyeo (female divers) and local residents called it 'Jallokgae'. It is said that Seungdumal, which longed for the sea, gave birth to the six islands of Oryukdo one by one, and then the swollen part of Seungdumal narrowed, creating the hill at the entrance of Seonchangnaru. At this Seungdumal, which is also the boundary between the East Sea and the South Sea, construction began on September 12, 2012, and it opened on October 18, 2013, and was named Oryukdo Skywalk with the meaning of walking in the sky. The Skywalk is a 15m glass bridge with steel beams installed on a 35m coastal cliff and 24 glass panels connected in a horseshoe shape on top. The floor glass is a specially manufactured 55.49mm thick high-load bulletproof glass made by attaching bulletproof film to four 12mm glass panels, designed for safety. Through the transparent glass beneath your feet, the sight of waves striking the cliff makes you feel dizzyingly thrilling. The sea spread out in front of the Skywalk produces beautiful and colorful hues at times, making it a famous photo spot, and on clear days it is the place where you can see Tsushima Island closest.
