The 2nd Longest Suspension Bridge in Asia

On the way back to Daejeon, we made a few stops. On the way to the beach, we saw a bridge with a big red pepper entrance to it. We noted it and thought it might be fun to stop on the way back. We also saw streetlights shaped like these big red peppers. Evidently, this whole area is a big red pepper area.


When we stopped, little did we know that this is the 2nd longest suspension bridge in Asia. It is held up by tons of ropes and is just a little ways off the water. It was quite nice and only about a year old.



One of the idiosyncrasies of Korea: We were traveling during the Korean "Chuseok" Holiday, this is equivalent to our Thanksgiving in America. Hardly anyone was here on this day. However, the oidishee (man) at the parking lot was very concerned that we had parked in a bus parking space. Go figure? (See the empty parking lot with our car!) Those of you who have lived here know exactly what we are talking about and are laughing!
