I haven't had a lighthouse from South Korea in the Lighthouse of the Week slot for awhile, so that's where we return this week. I made a quick decision on this one; it's a lighthouse plus observation gallery, and apparently a pretty popular one due its high-level scenic viewpoint.
It's located here. Zoom in if you want to get a better sense of where (and turn off the location labels!)
So, this is the New Mukho Lighthouse, which replaced the original Mukho lighthouse, of course. The description from the Lighthouse Directory is short and succinct:
"2008. Active; focal plane 88 m (289 ft); white flash every 10 s. 21 m (69 ft) round concrete tower with lantern and large round observation room. Entire lighthouse is white. Fog horn (blast every 55 s)."The first lighthouse was built on the site in 1963.
Here's a variety of pictures, including a view from the observation gallery.
