- Hae In LeeDaejeon, South Korea2 contributionsEnchanting night view attraction, tranquil oasis for serene strollsWalking across Woljeong Bridge with my friend remains a cherished memory, which is renowned as a perfect nightview spot for taking awesome pictures . The bridge looks stunning at night with bright yellow lights reflecting on the water, making it a scene straight out of a postcard. You can really feel the history and beauty of Korean architecture there too. The bridge's historical significance adds depth to the experience. The serene ambience captivated my mind and offered a peaceful escape from the bustle of city life. Woljeong Bridge is not only a spot you won't want to miss with your camera, but also a heritage which heals your weary soul.Visited January 2024Traveled with friendsWritten April 9, 2024
- macedonboyGlasgow, United Kingdom186,358 contributionsWorld's Prettiest Wooden BridgeThis pretty bridge is said to be the longest wooden bridge in Korea. At 60 metres, it’s believable. The original bridge was burnt down. I’m not sure if the current rebuilt bridge is supposed to be a faithful rebuild, but it’s certainly a nice example of Korean architecture with prominent curved roofs and dougongs. There’s even exhibitions on upper floors of either end of the bridge where there’s artefacts from archaeological digs and a video documentary on the reconstruction. Sadly the video is in Korean only. When we were at the bridge, there were traditional Korean opera singers performing, so it was a doubly nice experience.Visited May 2024Traveled with friendsWritten May 10, 2024
- ANParishBusan, South Korea1,019 contributionsBeautiful, especially at night!This bridge, the longest wooden one in Soth Korea, was finished in 2018. It was built based on decades of research done into a bridge that was constructed here in the 7th or 8th Century and which burned down during the Joseon Dynasty (1392 to 1910 or so). It's free, and it provides great views of the surrounding area. It's near Kyochon Village and other Gyeong-Ju tourist sites, so it's easy to visit if you're in the central area. I highly recommend going at night, especially in the summer.Visited August 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten August 27, 2024

The bridge is very scenic, and part of a large area of refurbished and well maintained archeological sites, including a National Museum, a park full of Silla Empire tombs, one of which is excavated and open as a museum exhibit, a medieval observatory, and a further walk away, a pagoda. The main city centre is also within walking distance. The city itself is billed as a living museum, which it comes close to fulfilling.

We walked to the bridge from the museum and crossed over into the village. The bridge itself was a huge structure solidly built replica of the original from the Shilla dynasty. It was brightly painted and in great condition since it was only recently reconstructed. This bridge crossed Muncheon Stream that purportedly gives the appearance that the sand is flowing upstream while the water is flowing downstream due to the river bed's sparkling quartz sand characteristics.
On the second floor was a small historical display about the bridge. However it was very dark inside and really could have used more light if they opened some of the windows. There were a number of video presentations and displays about the bridge history and construction. There were only a couple other visitors inside besides myself and since it was located at the end of the bridge farthest away from the village not many people may have been willing to walk across.
Performers wearing traditional costumes were either dancing or playing musical instruments on the bridge entrance closes to the village and matched the performances going on inside the village. More people were gathered here.

One of the most beautiful buildings I have ever seen. Go down the river a bit and there is a crossing on rocks, it's the best spot for some epic pictures. You can go up in the 2 towers on both sides of the bridge. Beautiful decorated wooden beams, all green. Absolutely gorgeous.

Reconstructed between 2010 and 2016 to reflect similar bridge during Sila dynasty. Try and get pic of its reflection in the river and ensure you attend short videos on second floors at both ends of bridge.

The bridge has been reconstructed to look like it did back in the Silla dynasty. And they did a great job. It's absolutely beautiful. Make sure you walk across and if you're a history/reconstruction buff go up both ends of the towers to see the small displays up there. Make sure to walk down the river to the rock path crossing, too. That has good picture spots for the bridge and you can see fish swimming. The guide in the bridge told us the plates on the village side brought prosperity happiness and vitality if you stomped on them, and that in old times, only the royalty could use/cross the bridge to get to the treasures beyond. That no one else was allowed, so he made us kings and queens for the day so we could cross it. It was very cool. impressive architecture. Take water, good shoes, and your camera.

Definitely go at night and get photos. It's a little treacherous crossing the river on the stones because the lighting isn't great, so watch your kids. Still, very beautiful

it is not just about the bridge, even though it is beautiful.
There is also the folk village museum and there are very interesting riverside walks. I walked from the bridge back into the town centre, passing a lot of wildlife and a barrage.
