To explore the park conveniently, visitors can hop on the Danubi Train, a small sightseeing train that takes passengers on a tour through Taejongdae. It offers a convenient way to reach different points of interest within the park.

There were cute trams that drove through the park just like the Milwaukee County Zoo; but the wait was 40 minutes. We viewed the suicide cliff. There is no way anyone who jumps could survive the fall. There is a statue in front of the cliff of a woman and children to remind a future jumper of his family in hopes to persuade his decision.

At the southernmost point of the park stands the Taejongdae Lighthouse. The lighthouse provides a picturesque backdrop against the coastal scenery and serves as a beacon for ships navigating the waters.

The lighthouse has many many many steps to the bottoms. There is a small sushi place at the bottom. We waited for the boat to come at the bottom and got a wonderful view of the park and the coast. People were fishing off the rocks but in impossible spots to get to by foot. Possibly dropped off by a boat? I got to see dolphins but none came too far out of the water to get any good pictures.
