Check before you go

  • Sigol Hongdukke Kalguksu opens at 09:30. If your sunrise is earlier than 09:30, you will need to wait or choose a 24-hour option like Shinsun Seolnongtang (2 minutes from the anchor) for an earlier meal.
  • The Botanical Garden is open year-round, but check specific exhibition hours if visiting the tropical section.
