Due to construction, I had to take a long way around, but it was worth it. The park, dedicated to the revered warrior Yi Sun-shin, is gorgeous. The rolling green hills that look out onto the sea is lovely. Come for the huge statue of Sun-shin and stay for the visitas. You can even scramble down and walk along a little stretch of rocky beach. I suggest going in the spring or fall. I went in August and nearly got heatstroke!
