After Haedong Yonggungsa, we head down to Namgu to experience the Oryukdo skywalk~ our 3rd stop. Oryukdo Skywalk is built on the edge of rock cliff. It has transparent glass walk passage in U shape where we could see thru what is under our feet when we are walking on the cliff towards the sea. The skywalk is free of charge and there are staff-in-charge take care of visitors and control the crowds. It's quite thrill to walk on the glass plate especially when it is closest to the sea. I've seen Oryukdo from far many times in Haeundae. Seeing it so closely here is first time.
Oryukdo - also known as Five-Six Island, is a group of rocky island at the south sea and east sea; where 5 islands can be seen at low tide and 6 islands at high tide. The island closest to the mainland - Usak-do is the one that can be appear to be two separate islands during high tide. The two islands also known as Bangpae-seom and Sol-seom. While the other 4 islands follow by it's distance closest to mainland after Usak-do are uri-seom, Songgot-seom Gul-seom and Deungdae-seom. All islands are uninhabited except for Deungdaeseom, which has Oryukdo Lighthouse on it. The Lighthouse serves as a gateway to Busan-hang (Busan Port) where ships entering Busan must pass by here.
