Three reasons to visit Haerang Observatory<\/h2>\n

1. Dokkaebi-club-shaped skywalk<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n Haerang Observatory's biggest signature is the design that reveals itself from above \u2014 a dokkaebi-club shape<\/b> . 'Dojaebi' is the Gangwon dialect for 'dokkaebi' (Korean goblin), and the design echoes the local Dojaebigol legend. Look down from the Sky Valley and the dokkaebi-club outline really does click into place.\n<\/p>\n

\"View<\/figure>\n

2. Emerald East Sea + dark cliffs<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n Walk the Haerang Observatory deck and beneath your feet you'll see dark volcanic rocks<\/b>and emerald waves<\/b>crashing against them in striking contrast. It photographs like a painting \u2014 in person, it's even more powerful.\n<\/p>\n

3. The colorful 'Haerang' letter sculpture \u2014 top of the photo list<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

\n Right at the entrance there's a big \"Haerang\"<\/b> letter sculpture. The colorful letters + the blue East Sea + the Dojaebigol skywalk all fit in one frame, making this the most popular photo spot on a Mukho trip. The classic shot is sitting inside the empty space of the letters.\n<\/p>\n
