Yeongmokhang Observatory

The Yeongmok Port Observatory stands at the entrance to Yeongmok Port at the southern tip of Taean County, where National Route 77 opens, linking the Boryeong undersea tunnel with the Wonsan Anmyeon Bridge. The exterior of the Yeongmok Port Observatory is modeled on the rugosa rose, which blooms abundantly in Taean, symbolizing the region's prosperity and development. The observatory is 51.26 m tall, and its main facilities include a 22nd-floor observation tower, a local specialty shop, a souvenir shop and a café on the first floor, and an outdoor terrace on the second floor. Riding the elevator up to the 22nd-floor observation deck offers a 360-degree view of Yeongmok Port, the Wonsan Anmyeon Bridge, the West Sea and the vast tidal flats. It is also an observatory where you can enjoy the beautiful sunset glowing red behind the islands of the West Sea. Sofas, chairs and tables are provided for comfortable viewing of the surrounding scenery. After sunset, when it gets dark, the Yeongmok Port Observatory lights up and transforms into a spectacular sight, and a walking path with night lighting is created below the observatory, making it a great place to stroll while enjoying the sea breeze.
