The night sea of Yeosu begins to light up with the sunset. The setting sun colors the sea in gorgeous hues, creating an unforgettable sight when viewed from the Yeosu Maritime Cable Car. When the sun finally sets, Yeosu¡¯s unique beauty is unleashed. The Yeosu Maritime Cable Car is the first of its kind in Korea, connecting an island to the mainland over the sea. It is only the fourth maritime cable car in East Asia, after ones in Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam. Now you can experience the thrill of floating over the sea, soaring high up in the sky, in Korea, as well, feeling the beauty of the sky and sea all around you.

When the sun has set and darkness descends, the beautiful lights of Dolsandaegyo Bridge, Geobukseondaegyo Bridge, Janggundo Island and the Maritime Park are sprinkled over the night sea. Over 13 million visitors come yearly to see this spectacle, so make sure you don¡¯t miss it when visiting Yeosu.

Aqua Planet Yeosu

Aqua Planet Yeosu, opened in 2012 with the Yeosu Expo. It¡¯s a landmark institution that attracts over 1 million visitors each year. The eco-friendly aquarium was the most popular attraction at the 2012 Yeosu Expo and continued operating even after the expo closed. It continues to showcase the diversity of the marine ecosystem. Aqua Planet Yeosu has a large 6,000-t tank, the second largest in East Asia after the one at Aqua Planet Jeju.

Divers greet children while swimming in the aquarium and interacting with the marine life. The Aqua Fantasy Show brings together marine life and visitors in a celebration of biodiversity. The mascots of Aqua Planet are three rare beluga whales who perform stunning tricks to awed spectators, while other stars among its cast of 3,000 marine animals across 280 species include a Baikal seal and piranhas.
The main tank, the Deep Blue Sea, has a viewing area 16-m wide and 6-m tall, larger than screens in movie theaters. Here, three ¡°mermaids¡± lead the audience into a world of fantasy. They are the Marine Girls, comprising of performers from the national synchronized swimming team who perform beautiful moves underwater to cheery music. The Alive Museum, where visitors can watch feeding shows featuring dandy penguins, sleepy otters, shy harbor seals and fearsome piranhas, amidst the engaging visual illusions, is also not to be missed.

Ocean Railbike

The Yeosu Ocean Railbike is operated on a 3.5-km converted railway that features pedal rail bikes, providing an unobstructed view of the water. These were the first pedal rail bikes in Korea, running along the coastline over its entire course, with unobstructed sea views all along the way. The entire railway is a treat for the eyes, with various tunnels that add variety to the coastal route. In particular, a spectacular LED display awaits you at the Marae Tunnel. From the pedal rail bikes, Odongdo Island and the South Sea appear close enough to reach out and touch. The mood becomes more romantic when the sun sets, with sparkling lights dotting the sea.
The rail bikes there, available for rent, have been specially designed not just for aesthetics but also to ensure safety and comfort. The distance between the pedals and seats in these ergonomic bikes can be adjusted to users¡¯ bodies, making them accessible to both young and old. They are also perfect for private travelers as well as those engaged in corporate activities, school trips and field trips, being able to take many people simultaneously.

Be it spring, summer, fall or winter, pedal rail bikes offer a unique experience for each season, with wholly new scenery each time.

Create unforgettable memories with friends and family as you work up a sweat and then let it dry off in the cool breeze.
