The ports of Jeju and Seogwipo City are bustling, important points of travel and commerce. The island’s southern port, though, boasts a majestic example of bridge architecture that visitors and locals both can appreciate.

Saeyeon Bridge connects Seogwipo Port and the small island of Saeseom. It is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Built in 2009, the bridge is not only beautiful, but both functional and symbolic.

Its design is based on the tewoo, a small traditional fishing vessel unique to Jeju.

The 169-meter bridge really does has the look and feel of a ship, with two arching observation decks, spiral staircases, and an imposing 45-meter-tall column which resembles a billowing sail.

Saeseom Island is a city park and conservation area

Along its span are beautiful panoramic ocean views, along with excellent shots of the port and its workings. It also connects the two islands, giving easy access to Saeseom’s city park and conservation area.

There is a lush 1.2-kilometer trail which rings the island and can be walked in about 30 minutes. Saeseom is open to the public from dawn until 10 p.m.

There are a number of islands off Jeju’s coast ? from the relatively large like Udo Island to the northeast, to quite small like Saeseom. However, Saeyeon Bridge gives pedestrians access to the latter’s park, views, and natural splendor.
