The site was established following the completion of the Sapgyoho Sea Wall, a massive embankment project completed in 1979.
The LST (Landing Ship Tank) displayed at the Naval Museum was originally built in the United States and served in the Korean Navy for decades.
The amusement park is frequently featured in Korean dramas and films due to its retro aesthetic.
The embankment is a critical piece of water management infrastructure designed to prevent saltwater intrusion into farmland.
Sapgyoho Tourist Site is a recreational waterfront area located at the foot of the Sapgyoho Sea Wall, which connects Dangjin and Asan. The site features an amusement park with a vintage Ferris wheel that serves as a visual landmark. It hosts the Dangjin Naval Museum, which houses the decommissioned landing ship tank (LST) Hwaseong-ham. The area is integrated with an extensive seafood market and boardwalks overlooking the West Sea. Public infrastructure includes a public park, water features, and expansive parking facilities. It is a popular destination for viewing sunsets over the sea wall structure. The location serves as a junction for maritime leisure and educational tourism related to naval history.
