Wando Tower is a 76-meter-tall observation tower situated at the summit of Mangnam Hill, providing a panoramic view of the Wando harbor and the surrounding archipelago. Constructed as part of the Wando-gun tourism development, the structure features two observation levels and a multimedia lighting system. It sits within the larger Wando Tower Park, which connects to the town center via the Wando Monorail. The tower serves as a central hub for viewing the Hallyeohaesang National Park and the local abalone farming infrastructure. Visitors can access the interior via an elevator to reach the top floor's circular observation deck. The site is frequently used for local cultural festivals and educational programs related to maritime history.
