Haesindang Park, Nature reserve in Samcheok, South Korea

The park extends along the coast with wooden and stone sculptures arranged on multiple levels connected by stone pathways and stairs.

In response to poor fishing conditions following a young woman's drowning in 1920, the local community established a ritual site that evolved into the current park.

The park contains a traditional fishing museum that presents maritime customs, tools, and practices of coastal communities in South Korea.

Visitors can reach the park by taking bus 24 from Samcheok intercity terminal, with the journey lasting 40 minutes and costing 1800 won.

The park features over fifty sculptures of varying sizes representing male fertility symbols, integrated into landscaped gardens overlooking the sea.
