The site is renowned for its mystical scenery, where visitors must pass through narrow rock chasms and admire unique rock formations that resemble a turtle's shell sliding into the sea. As one of Korea’s premier sunrise destinations, it offers breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views of the vast South Sea that leave a lasting impression.
