# Samcheonpo Younggung Fish Market

Established in 1965, the Samcheonpo Younggung Fish Market has risen to west-Gyeongnam’s key fish market, filled with merchants selling the freshest marine products you can find in the region.

The market is always bustling with crowds from all over the country eager to buy seafood in season, like between July and September when rich, chewy octopuses are best sold. With a bit of bargaining, you can also purchase goods at cheaper costs.

Purchase the marine product of your choice at the market, and move to an adjacent area filled with restaurants that neatly chop it off for customers to eat. Dip the bites in salt and sesame oil, or hot chili paste - anything that suits you well.

# Explore the outer-world at Sacheon Aerospace Museum

The museum’s first story is themed aviation, whereas the second is mainly about space. At the entrance of the museum, you’ll find a model astronaut, and pass that, various components that make an airplane.

# At Samcheonpo Bridge, where the day begins and ends

Chosen as one of Korea’s most beautiful roads, Samcheonpo Bridge is most well-known for its gorgeous sunrise. On New Year’s Day, various programs like traditional music performances and fireworks are displayed near the bridge.

For a dazzling view of the sunset, follow the coastal road from Sacheon Bridge to Samcheonpo Bridge, where the rising sun, sparkly sea and scattered islands create a view you will never forget.
