This project was carried out with a 5 billion won grant secured through the 2018 Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s regional development contest. After completing administrative procedures such as the basic design in 2019, the county began full-scale construction in 2023 and finished all work this year, transforming the site into an open park.


The centerpiece of the renovation—the skywalk—measures 46 meters in length and 16 meters in height. Its floor is made entirely of transparent glass, offering visitors a thrilling experience akin to walking above the Dadohae sky. In particular, the skywalk boasts an overwhelming panoramic view, allowing visitors to take in the large and small islands scattered across the sea in front of Wando in a 360-degree sweep.


Additionally, the former flower bed area has been transformed into a vast natural grass plaza, where visitors can relax and unwind on picnic mats. Wando County plans to actively utilize this space for various cultural and artistic activities, such as busking performances and outdoor exhibitions, breathing new life into the park.


To ensure visitor safety, the skywalk will operate on a limited basis for the time being, from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and pets are strictly prohibited to prevent accidents.



Park Eunjae, Director of Forest Recreation, stated, "We will do our utmost to manage and operate Dadohae Sunrise Park so that it becomes the best spot to appreciate Wando’s beautiful scenery and a must-visit attraction for everyone."
