Dokdo Museum & Observatory Cable Car
독도박물관・독도전망대 케이블카
A territory-themed museum in Dodong's Yaksu Park, with a cable car next door climbing to Mangyeongbong for views over Dodong Port and the island's southeastern coast.
The Dokdo Museum opened in 1997 and is South Korea's first museum dedicated to territory. It presents historical materials on Ulleungdo and Dokdo from the Korean perspective, and admission is free. Next door, the Dokdo Observatory cable car climbs from Yaksu Park to Mangyeongbong, a peak about 300 meters above sea level. The one-way ride takes about six minutes. From the summit platform you can look down over Dodong Port and Seonginbong, and on exceptionally clear days you may spot the outline of Dokdo. The cable car charges a fare and is suspended in strong winds. It is about a 15-minute walk from Dodong Port.
Opening hours
Approx. 9:00–18:00 (cable car shortened in winter)
