5 Best Things to Do After Dinner in Yeosu

The Sky Tower Observation Deck is a symbol of Yeosu EXPO Ocean Park along with Big-O Show. This structure, which plays the sounds of a pipe organ five times a day from spring to autumn, was originally a cement silo for Dongyang Cement, but it was remodeled after the Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea was held and transformed into the observatory that you see today. Nothing obstructs your view at the observatory, so you can really appreciate an unhindered view of all of Yeosu's top tourist spots.

At Yi Sun-sin Square, cross the Yi Sun-sin statue rotary and pass the square, where you will find model of a turtle ship. From sunset, the observatory, Janggundo Island, Geobukseon Bridge, and marine cruise ships are dyed with colorful and dazzling lights to provide a romantic night view. Hamel Lighthouse and marine aerial cableway also add to the gorgeous nightscape of the sea at Yeosu. There is also a romantic street dotted with unique food stalls nearby, so you can fully enjoy the night view.

The Yeosu Marine Cable Car is a convenient means of transportation to Odongdo Island and Dolsan Park, but it is special because you can see the beautiful view of the sea at night. Each stop of the Yeosu Marine Cable Car has a beautiful night view, so the waiting time tends to increase in the evening. You can also enjoy the beautiful night view from the 3rd floor of the aerial cableway boarding building in Dolsan Park, so consider a visit even if you do not take the aerial cableway.

Hamel Lighthouse is an unmanned lighthouse built to commemorate Hamel's return to his home country. Hamel is famous for the Journal of Hendrick Hamel. The lighthouse has a romantic atmosphere with its red color contrasting with the blue sea and sky. It’s loved greatly by couples. The nearby Hamel Pavilion is open to the public with no entrance fee, and you can learn historical facts about Hamel's drifting. Also, at night, the lighthouse and Geobukseon Bridge are lit up and really shine, so you can enjoy a beautiful night-time view.

When you get off at Yeosu Expo Station, you can see the entrance to the Yeosu World Expo right across from it, which is still being used as a park. The Big O, installed over the night sea in Yeosu, famous for its beauty, presents a colorful fountain show every evening from April to November. However, some facilities on the site of the marine park, including the Big O and the Sky Tower, charge a fee, so it is better to check in advance.
