[Korea] Oryukdo Skywalk

 

The old name for Oryukdo Skywalk is "Seungdumal". Seungdumal was called Seungdumal because it looked like a horse saddle, and haenyeo and local residents called it Jalokgae. After Seungdumal, who loves the sea, gave birth to six islands in Oryukdo Island one after another, the bulging part of Seungdumal was made narrow and made a hill of Seonchangnaru and the entrance. Construction began on September 12, 2012, and opened on October 18, 2013, at Seungdumal, which is also the boundary between the East Sea and the South Sea, and it was named Oryukdo Skywalk with the meaning of "walking on the sky."
