Wave Sound Trail & Fan-shaped Columnar Joint

📍 405-5 Eupcheon-ri, Yangnam-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do 🚗 Parking TIP Set your navigation to Eupcheon Port or Yangnam Port Road 14-3 to arrive directly at the public parking lot! It's also close to Ulsan, making it a great stop on the way from Ulsan to Pohang. --- 1️⃣ Starting from Eupcheon Port A clean photo spot 📸 greeted by a red lighthouse and breakwater. The fan-shaped columnar joint is about 500m away, with a round-trip course of 3km. --- 2️⃣ Strolling along the Wave Sound Trail 🌿 Though the path is narrow, the views of seaside villas and pensions are stunning✨. Along the way, there are suspension bridges, observation decks, and distance markers to keep things interesting. The course starts with a forest trail, and the columnar joints begin to appear as you progress! --- 3️⃣ Fan-shaped Columnar Joint 😮 The highlight of the Yangnam Columnar Joint Cluster in Gyeongju! Its fan-like shape is fascinating and eye-catching👀. From the observation deck (free entry), you can see the structure more clearly and enjoy the expansive horizon. 📚 Fun Fact These pillar-shaped rocks were formed by volcanic activity during the Bronze Age. Though smaller than the columnar joints in Jungmun, Jeju, their unique shape is captivating! --- 4️⃣ Extended Course Options If you walk further, you can explore 'Yangsan Grandpa Rock,' 'Lying Columnar Joint,' and 'Pebble Beach.' However, the fan-shaped columnar joint is the main highlight, so it's perfect for travelers with limited time! --- 💡 Traveler Tips Observation deck hours: 09:30~18:00 Pets & food are not allowed. Car is essential 🚗 (not easily accessible for travelers on foot). Combine with Gyeongju city sightseeing for a perfect day trip!
