Saeyeongyo Bridge
40 Namseongjung-ro, Seogwi-dong, Seogwipo, Jeju-do
Sail-shaped cable-stay footbridge linking a working harbor to a silver-grass island.
This guide to Saeyeongyo Bridge in Seogwipo Harbor traces its unusual design back to the teu, the sail-less wooden raft Jeju fishermen once paddled out to fish for anchovy and mackerel by hand. It follows the bridge's 2009 opening and the life across the harbor it connects, from Saeseom, silver-grass island, to the stalls of Maeil Olle Market with their live octopus, abalone porridge and grilled black pork. You'll hear what the bridge's old name was meant to promise. Cross at dusk, when the pylon and cables catch the light.
