Exploring the National Marine Biodiversity Institute and Janghang Skywalk

"Where is this unique building?"
As you step inside, the open central area and media art on each floor will leave you in awe.
If you're planning a trip to Seocheon, I highly recommend visiting the National Marine Biodiversity Institute for an indoor adventure aside from the sea!
Moreover, just a 2-minute drive away is the thrilling skywalk, making it a perfect travel route.

▲ A place to discover the past and present of the ocean world
1. National Marine Biodiversity Institute
This is not just an exhibition hall; it is Korea's first specialized institution for the conservation, research, and education of marine biological resources.
Next door, you'll find the National Marine Biodiversity Research Building.
A tip for visitors: start from the 4th floor and work your way down.
The layout is well-designed, allowing you to naturally explore all the exhibitions.
I realized how much we still don’t know about the ocean.
In fact, humans have only explored about 0.001% of the deep sea.
○ Admission fee: Adults 3,000 won, Children 1,000 won
○ Operating hours: 09:30-18:00 (Closed on Mondays)
▲ The National Marine Biodiversity Institute features various interactive zones.
▲ Whale Village in the Sea Town
This museum is great for families, with many hands-on experiences available for children.
Now, let's head to the Janghang Skywalk, just a 2-minute drive away from the Marine Biodiversity Institute!
▲ Janghang Songrim Forest Bathing Area
▲ The Janghang Skywalk accessible by elevator
2. Janghang Skywalk
Located within the Janghang Songrim Forest Bathing Area, the skywalk stands 15 meters high and stretches about 250 meters.
It offers stunning views as it winds through a pine forest toward the sea.
You can take an elevator to the entrance, and there are special wheelchairs available for easy access, making it a great spot for families.

○ Admission fee: 4,000 won
○ Operating hours: April to September, 09:30-18:00 (Closed on Mondays)
At the end of the skywalk, you can experience the mudflats.
I must admit, my legs were shaking a bit due to the strong wind.
My hair was dancing around, and I took slow steps while holding onto my outerwear.
Through the grating, I could see the pine trees below, giving me the sensation of floating above them.
With the wind blowing, the structure swayed slightly.
Walking to the end, the path leads from the forest out to the sea.
The charm of the West Sea lies in its changing tides, showcasing two completely different landscapes.
If you're planning a trip to Seocheon, why not connect these two attractions?
You can experience two distinct charms with just a short drive.
