Jeongnamjin Observatory

정남진 전망대

When you climb the stairs of the observatory, the Korean Peninsula-shaped floor fountain at Unification Square greets you with a cool stream of water. After passing the fountain at Unification Square, you will see the statue of Ahn Jung-geun facing the sea. In front of the observatory, a cute 12-gan sculpture welcomes visitors. The observatory tower is 45.9 meters high, with the upper layer depicting the rising sun, the middle layer depicting the Hwangpo anchor rod, and the lower layer depicting the waves. The round sculpture called Yullyeo, which symbolizes the axis of the direction toward Jeongnam, is said to have expressed the round sea of Jeongnamjin, meaning that the sea water is filled on the ground shaped like a round basin. The observation deck, which consists of 10 floors, has an observation deck and a cafe on the 9th and 10th floors, and each floor consists of a book cafe (8th floor), a literary movie theater (7th floor), a memory travel hall (6th floor), a festival hall (5th floor), a story hall (4th floor), a food promotion hall (3rd floor), a trick art photo zone (2nd floor), and a travel information center (1st floor).
