Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, connecting Jung-gu and Yeongdo-gu, was built during the Japanese colonial period. The Japanese built a bridge to connect Busanhang Port, the base for exploiting supplies, with Yeongdo Island right next to it. In 1934, on the day the first suspension bridge and bascule bridge in Busan was opened to the public, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge was packed with people from all over the country to take a look at the bridge. Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, which could be raised on one end of the upper deck, is called Yeongdo Bridge and soon became a landmark that has turned into a household name.
Yeongdodaegyo Bridge is a place where refugees in Busan congregated to in the midst of the Korean War to find some hope. Yeongdo Bridge, the landmark of Busan and the only place that refugees knew, became a union spot for people who were separated. People’s desperate wish to find separated families was engraved on faded paper and torn cloth to fill up the handrails of Yeongdo Bridge.
In 1966, when the wounds of the war began to heal, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge stopped lifting up the deck. The old bridge could no longer endure the increasing traffic, and the opening of the Busandaegyo Bridge right next to the bridge made the future of the bridge uncertain. However, the bridge was restored in 47 years, and its lifting resumed through the peoples’ efforts to remember and share the history of the Yeongdo Bridge.
This place, where refugees used to visit to find their separated families, is now a popular tourist attraction. At around 2:00 p.m., the signal is made, and the blocking curtain goes down. All the passing vehicles stop, and the Yeongdo Bridge goes up slowly.

The Huin-yeoul Coastal Tunnel that measures 70 m long and is full of colorful lighting and brilliant photozones for tourists to enjoy.
Get off the Huin-yeoul Coastal Tunnel and come across an entirely different coastal road. The West Coast Trail of Yeongdo is well preserved in its natural setting. Watching the vertical precipice and sound of waves crash against the rock will relieve your stress and worries. Moreover, the suspension bridge that connects rocks is a fun structure to cross on the long walking trail.
TIP: The tunnel interior lights are on at 09:00 a.m., the lights are off at 23:00 p.m.

WONJU, Jan. 12 (Korea Bizwire) — A 200m long, 1.5m wide walking suspension bridge, the largest in the country, has been completed and is open for daredevils starting January 11.
The bridge is part of the Sogeum Mountain hiking trail in Wonju and spans a chasm between two peaks.
Construction on the project began last August. With the start of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics growing nearer by the day, the bridge is part of a “boom up” effort to enhance and improve sights and attractions for tourists.
