Perched majestically on the easternmost tip of the Korean peninsula, this lighthouse is a true beacon of history and maritime culture. It holds the distinction of being the tallest in South Korea, standing at an impressive 26.4 metres. The structure, completed in 1903 during the Japanese occupation, is a beautiful example of brick architecture with its striking red and white colour scheme. Legend has it that this area is shaped like a tiger’s tail, inspiring both local folklore and its name. Whether you’re a history buff or a photography enthusiast, this lighthouse offers a unique glimpse into the region’s past.
