   Sandglass Park

   모래시계공원

   Sandglass Park is cozily decorated against the backdrop of the East Sea, mountains, and the village of Jeongdongjin 2-ri.

The hourglass is not a clock that indicates the current time like a sundial or water clock, but a device that measures the passage of time through the volume of sand falling due to gravity.MoreLess
