Jeju Island · Yongyeon Pond with its Azure Reflections

Yongyeon is located near Yongduam Rock by the seaside of Jeju City, where the waters of the Hancheon River meet the sea. It is also the legendary resting place of the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea when he patrols Jeju Island. A 50-meter-long, 1.5-meter-wide steel cable-stayed bridge spans the two banks of the Hancheon River, becoming the iconic structure of Yongyeon. 300 meters north of the bridge is the estuary of the Hancheon River, where the river channel gradually widens from the inside out, and the river surface becomes increasingly rough. At the confluence of the river mouth and the sea, white waves soar and spray splashes, creating a magnificent spectacle.
