Destination briefing
Why travelers stop here
Located in Jisan-myeon, Jindo-gun, the southwesternmost tip of the Korean Peninsula, Geupchisan Observatory is one of the places where you can see the latest sunset. It is the best sunset spot to enjoy the falling sunset among the islands of the archipelago adorning the wide-open, refreshing sea. The beautiful rock ridges of Dongseoksan's rocky veins seen from the 360-degree open observatory rooftop and the stunning Jindo coastline viewed from a high altitude are like a landscape painting, naturally evoking admiration for the picturesque scenery. The coastal road from Geupchisan Observatory to Sebangnakjo Observatory boasts such beautiful scenery that it was selected as one of the '100 Beautiful Roads of Korea,' making it a must-visit place when in Jindo.
