About the Route
Established in 1967, the Yeosu Industrial Complex is Korea’s largest heavy chemical industrial complex, home to the oil refining, fertilizer, and petrochemical industries. At night, tens of thousands of lights illuminate its massive industrial facilities, creating a spectacular multicolored display that captivates visitors. As night falls over the industrial complex, the illuminated facilities create a dazzling panorama of shimmering lights.
Namsan Park offers one of the best vantage points for panoramic nighttime views of Dolsandaegyo Bridge, Janggundo Island, and the sparkling waters of Yeosu. This hidden gem is perfect for a leisurely evening stroll while taking in the romantic nightscape of Yeosu’s coastline.
The Hamel Museum, built at the historic site where Dutch explorer Hendrick Hamel and his companions left Korea, showcases traces of their three years and six months in Yeosu, as documented in Hamel’s famous account of his experiences in Korea. Together with Hamel Lighthouse, it has become a popular destination along Yeosu’s waterfront at night. From Hamel Lighthouse, visitors can enjoy unforgettable views of Yeosu’s illuminated coastline, with Geobukseondaegyo Bridge and the Yeosu Cable Car in the background.

Special Arrangements for Visits to Hamel Lighthouse
- Since Nangman Pocha Street moved next to the Hamel Museum, roadside parking has made it impossible for the city tour bus to stop there.
- Passengers get off at the Hamel Museum. The city tour bus then turns around at the Jungang-dong roundabout, returns to pick up passengers and continues to Yeosu Expo Station.
