About this audio guide
This guide to the Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge in Busan starts with newlyweds crossing a wooden walkway above the sea in the 1960s for a lucky wedding photo, then follows what happened when Typhoon Selma tore it apart in 2002. For eighteen years nothing but open water separated Amnam Park from the small islet of Dongseom. Stand partway across, where the two decks stack one above the other, to feel the shape Seo-gu district built into the crossing that replaced it.
