Choose a transparent cabin and create unforgettable winter travel memories while enjoying the thrilling views unfolding beneath your feet.
A Unique Three-Section Cable Car Route
Unlike typical cable cars that operate in either the mountains or the sea, this cable car starts from the Daebang Station, crosses the sea to the Choyang Station, and then ascends back to the Gaksan Station, providing a unique route.
The total length of the ride is 2.43 km, lasting about 20 minutes, during which you can appreciate a variety of changing landscapes, leaving no room for boredom.
The greatest advantage is the refreshing openness when crossing the sea and the cozy atmosphere of the forest while climbing the mountain.
With a single ticket, you can experience the charm of both the maritime and mountain cable cars, making it a highly cost-effective and satisfying experience.
Thrill of the Crystal Cabin Experience
If you opt for the crystal cabin made of transparent tempered glass, you can enjoy the exhilarating thrill of walking above the sea at a height of 74 meters.
The clear December waters of Namhae below you create a visually stunning backdrop, perfect for unique photos.
Although the wait time may be slightly longer than for regular cabins, the unobstructed view allows the younger crowd to feel the texture of the sea vividly.
For safety, the cabin uses tempered glass with a thickness of 27.5 mm, so you can focus on the scenery without worrying about shaking or breakage.
Panoramic Views from Gaksan Observatory
Upon disembarking at Gaksan Station, a short walk along the trail leads you to an observation deck with panoramic views of the Samcheok Bridge and nearby small islands.
From the summit at 408 meters above sea level, you can enjoy the most magnificent line of the Changseon and Samcheok Bridge, which is selected as one of Korea's Beautiful Roads.
In December, the crisp and clear air extends visibility, allowing you to see distant islands clearly.
Be sure to take memorable photos against the scenic backdrop or heart-shaped sculptures scattered around the observation deck.
Sunset and Night Views of Sacheon Sea
The Sacheon Sea is one of the top nine sunset spots in Korea, known as 'Silan Sunset,' and watching the sunset from the cable car is breathtaking.
As the winter sun sets early in December, a ride around 5 PM offers a spectacular view of the sky and sea bathed in red and gold hues.
The warm glow of the sunset pouring into the cabin creates an emotional atmosphere, gifting romantic moments to couples.
After sunset, the landscape lighting of the Samcheok Bridge turns on, allowing you to enjoy a different kind of stunning night view.
