Gwangmyeongdonggul Cave

Gwangmyeongdonggul Cave is the world's largest themed cave park, with a wide range of cultural and artistic items. It was built in a gold mine that mined gold, silver, and bronze. Wine Cave, as well as Cave Aqua World, Gold Falls, Gold Road, Gold Palace, Horror Experience, Cave Basement World, Underground Lake, the nation's largest dragon sculpture, LED lights, and other attractions, contribute to the excitement of the visit. Every weekend, there will also be a Black Light Performance. While walking around the cave, one can find several healing areas to help one's mind heal.

The cave was used for mining purposes while Korea was under Japanese rule from 1910 to 1945, and it was staffed by forced laborers. The cave complex was reopened for tourism in 2011 and currently includes historical exhibitions as well as aquariums, sculptures, light shows, children's amusements, and other attractions, including an underground vineyard. The cave complex is popular, especially in the summer, because of the cooler underground temperatures, yet it is located in a remote mountainous area. It is easily accessible by automobile, however the closest Seoul Metro station is the Gwangmyeong KTX Station, which is around 2 kilometers away. It was 7.8 kilometers long and 275 meters deep. For 40 years, it sat unused.
