The bridge was originally constructed in 1987 to facilitate vehicle transport before being converted into a tourist-exclusive pedestrian bridge in 2004.
The site gained significant popularity as a filming location for Korean dramas, specifically the series 'My Precious You'.
The bridge features transparent glass panels installed in the middle of the deck, allowing pedestrians to look directly down at the sea below.
It is nicknamed the 'Bridge of Love' because the practice of leaving padlocks on the railing mimics the tradition famously associated with N Seoul Tower.
The area experiences a distinct tidal range that alters the visual perspective of the sea level beneath the bridge throughout the day.
Jeodo Yeonryukgyo, also known as the 'Low Bridge of Love,' connects the mainland of Masan to the island of Jeodo. The original red steel bridge, built in 1987, has been repurposed into a pedestrian-only walkway following the construction of a modern parallel bridge. It is famous for its 'Lock of Love' culture, where visitors attach padlocks to the bridge railings as a token of romantic commitment. The bridge provides panoramic views of the surrounding archipelago and the calm waters of Jinhae Bay. Visitors can cross the 170-meter-long structure on foot to reach the coastal walking trails on Jeodo Island. The site features glass floor sections that allow views of the water surface directly beneath the feet. It serves as a primary gateway for exploring the Jeodo Island Dulle-gil trekking paths.
The mid-point of the bridge where the glass floor meets the red steel arch structure, offering a clear line of sight toward the sea.
Bring a padlock if you wish to participate in the 'Lock of Love' tradition, as local supplies may be limited or overpriced.
Wear comfortable walking shoes to transition from the bridge directly onto the Jeodo island coastal trekking paths.
Check wind conditions before visiting, as the bridge is exposed to gusts coming off Jinhae Bay.
Do not attempt to cross the modern, parallel vehicle bridge on foot, as it lacks a designated pedestrian walkway and handles high-speed traffic.
Avoid shaking the railings or the glass floor panels, as this causes discomfort to other pedestrians.
