   Igidae Urban Nature Park

   이기대 도시자연공원

   Located in Yongho 3-dong, this scenic coastal terrace sits on the eastern shore where Jangsanbong Peak meets the sea, just past a hill from the Yongho Sewage Treatment Plant. The eastern side of Jangsanbong Peak (225.3m) facing the sea features unique, rugged rock cliffs with splendid scenery, but it was hazardous for people to traverse, so the view was often enjoyed from boats at sea. However, the central area of Igidae is not a sheer cliff, but rather a nearly flat, gently sloping bedrock stretching along the coastline for about 2 km. The scenery overlooking the East Sea and incoming waves from this flat bedrock is exceptional, making it a favorite fishing spot. After long being designated a military operations zone and restricted to civilians, it was finally opened to the public in 1993.MoreLess
