Phoenix Island

TIME : 2016/2/17 16:19:29

Coachloads of tourists disgorge here daily to view the scenic location that has been featured in several Korean TV dramas and movies. But the real stars of the Seopji-koji Peninsula are two pieces of architecture by Ando Tadao: Glass House , housing the restaurant Mint , and the amazing Genius Loci , a gallery with site-specific works that aid meditation. Both buildings are angled to frame Seongsan Ilchul-bong , providing yet more perspectives on the volcano.

A taxi here from Seongsan-ri is around ₩5000.
