About About the place

Hourglass Park centers around a massive hourglass, reportedly one of the largest in the world. The hourglass itself only turns once a year, making a visit timed to the event particularly special. Beyond the hourglass, the park offers limited additional attractions. Its popularity is significantly influenced by its appearance in a popular Korean television drama, drawing many visitors from that region. The park provides a unique photo opportunity and a quiet space for contemplation.

Best season

Spring and autumn offer the most comfortable weather for visiting.

Best time to visit
