Jukdojeong Pavilion & Jukdo Observatory

죽도정&죽도 전망대 · Gangwon · Beaches & islands

Jukdojeong Pavilion is located on Jukdo Island in Yangyang, which is a small island with an average circumference of 1 kilometer. The beautiful scenery of lush pine and bamboo forest, with the emerald blue sea in the background, makes it one of the “Yangyang Best 10” spots. It is one of the best places to watch the sunrise on the East Coast. Located next to Jukdojeong Pavilion, the Jukdo Observatory offers a panoramic view of Jukdo Island. Although it was originally an island, it is now connected to the mainland. The walking path around the island is a great place for visitors to take a leisurely stroll along the sea while also enjoying the lush green forest. ·
