Opened in December 2014, the Yeosu Maritime Cable Car was South Korea's first cable car route to run directly over the sea, linking Dolsan Park on Dolsan Island with Jasan Park (near the Odongdo entrance) on the mainland across about 1.5 km. The Dolsan Station is a signature South Coast viewpoint taking in Dolsan Bridge, Yeosu's night sea, and the Odongdo area. Two cabin types run: a glass-floored 'Crystal Cabin' and standard cabins.
Roughly a 10-minute one-way ride (about 25 minutes round-trip) gliding over the sea between Dolsan Park and Jasan Park with views of Dolsan Bridge and Yeosu Bay
Crystal Cabins with a transparent tempered-glass floor for a thrilling look straight down at the water (separate line and fare from standard cabins)
Evening operation ideal for boarding just before sunset to catch the changing sky and the illuminated night view
Easy walking links from the station to the Dolsan Park lookout and Dolsan Bridge night scenery
Good access on the Dolsan side to local Yeosu specialties such as gat-kimchi (mustard-leaf kimchi) and seafood
Good to know
SeasonService can be suspended after notice due to strong winds, weather, or maintenance, so check the official site for operating status before setting out, especially on windy or typhoon-season days.
SafetyCrystal Cabins have a glass floor that may be unsettling if you fear heights; consider a standard cabin when traveling with children or elderly companions.
RulesFares, hours, and conditions vary by cabin type, day of week, and peak season, so confirm the latest details on the official website before your visit.
MannersQueues can be long on peak-season weekends and at night; arriving early or allowing extra time is recommended.
SafetyThe Dolsan Park public parking lot is small, so weekend-evening parking waits can be long; consider public transport or parking on the Odongdo side and walking over.
