CHEONBU UNDERWATER OBSERVATORY

A rather fascinating attraction, the Cheongbu Underwater Observatory allows visitors to walk down a long pier out into the water, before hopping into an elevator and going six metres down beneath the waves.

As you travel down, you will begin to notice the drop in temperature and subtle change in pressure. Once in the observatory, you will be greeted by wide windows on every side, allowing you to witness the full beauty of the marine life underwater. There are even food cages attached to the sides of the observatory to attract fish, which include yellowtail, blowfish and filefish. Entry to the observatory costs 4,000 won (USD3.60). Interested visitors should always check in advance to make sure the observatory is open for entry.
