The Soyanggang Skywalk is a lakeside glass-floor walkway stretching over the Soyang River in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province. Of its 174-meter total length, a 156-meter section is made of transparent tempered glass, letting you look straight down at the water as you walk over one of Korea's longest glass skywalks. Admission is 2,000 won, but you receive a Chuncheon Love gift voucher of the same value in return, making it effectively free, and it becomes a popular night-view spot once the lights come on after sunset.

Good to know
RulesTo protect the glass floor you must put on the shoe covers/slippers provided at the entrance, and high heels are not allowed.
RulesItems that could scratch the glass (hiking poles, kickboards, skates), outside food and drink, pets, and visibly intoxicated visitors are all prohibited.
SafetyAs an open-air structure over water, it can close or shut early without notice during snow, rain, or strong wind, so check whether it is operating before you go.
RulesIt is closed every Tuesday, so avoid visiting that day. (Fees, hours, and closures should be confirmed for the latest information.)
SeasonIn winter the river wind is bitterly cold and closing time is early (around 6 p.m.), while summer midday brings strong glare and sun on the glass, so time your visit to the season.
MannersIt is a popular photo spot, so stopping too long on the narrow glass section blocks the path; take your time on the deck and plaza and keep the flow moving on the glass.
