Over the long Thanksgiving weekend, we spent a day at Legoland Korea. And while we were in Chuncheon, we got to cross something big off of our bucket list: visiting the Soyanggang Skywalk. Here I’ll share what it is, how we got there, and how you can visit yourself!
Soyanggang Skywalk in Chuncheon
Situated just across Uiamho Lake from Legoland, Soyanggang Skywalk is the longest glass structure in South Korea. It stretches 174 meters onto the lake, with glass panels that are only 4 centimeters thick making up most of the floor. During the day, it is a sight on its own. But visit at night and the entire bridge lights up in a fantastic color show.
We got to Chuncheon around 2:00pm and immediately headed to the Skywalk. We first stopped to see the Monument to Soyanggang Girl – a well-known landmark in Chuncheon. It was cool to see, although we couldn’t figure out much about it even after we got home. Even so, the monument was beautiful with the lake backdrop behind it.
From the Monument to Soyanggang Girl, it was a short walk to the ticket booth for the Skywalk. We purchased our tickets, put on the little shoe-covers that were provided for us, and headed out onto the glass, only slightly panicking every time we realized all that was separating us from the freezing water below was 4 centimeters of glass.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Korea does bridges RIGHT. Not only do they add unique features to make crossing their bridges more interesting, they also make them beautiful. And Soyanggang Skywalk was no exception to that. We didn’t spend long at the bridge, but we all enjoyed it and were glad we had gone.
’til next time…
