When you come to visit we will take you on a trip to see the Sacheon Ocean Cable Cars.
At 2.43 kilometers it is the nation's longest cable car, connecting Choyang Island and Gaksan Mountain.
This is looking back at the station that we just left from.
This is looking forward over the ocean. Those little white circular things on the right are fishing huts that can be rented. It's like a little man cave for the weekend, minus the TV and wifi.
You can get a regular car, but we opted for the glass bottom.
The lady who photo bombed us was terrified of the glass bottom.
The Changseon-Samcheonpo bridge is is a popular landmark.
Coming back from the island.
We passed the entry point and continued up the mountain to Mt. Hwasan station. Sacheon Ocean Cable cars are the only ones in Korea to travel over both the sea and mountain.
Check out that view!
DanFam5 is loving Sacheon.
We went up the 270m walking trail to the observatory. It was worth the sweat. There were umbrellas to borrow to shade you (because remember that the Koreans do not like to be in the sun). Being the Americans we are, we toughed out the UV rays.

We have seen these things before but never tried one. It reminded Zeke of a saxophone so we took a picture for his friend Grant, who plays sax.
Upon returning, the littles went to play with friends so we grabbed Zeke and the dogs and went to Noah's Bark dog park to check it out. We bought a mango smoothie to beat the heat, and the lady gave us 'service' watermelon.
It has a pretty big yard for the dogs to play, but Frito is too big to be with the little doggies, so she had to be in the smaller big-dog side. Not so long ago dogs were eaten in Korea, but that is not (hardly ever) practiced any more. They actually have small dogs as pets now, which just started 15-20ish years ago. Small is the the operative word there. They are terrified of Frito. Seriously. I get a lot of bad looks, people swerve as far away as they can as we pass, and sometimes I get small cries of fear.
It was super hot, and the dogs were worried that they were going to be left, so they didn't really enjoy it. But now we know it's here if we ever need a dog park.
