Nongoldam-gil and Mukho Lighthouse

📍 묵호동, Donghae

Nongoldam-gil and Mukho Lighthouse photo

Nongoldam-gil is a mural-lined alley in the hillside neighborhood around Mukho Port, which opened as a port in 1941. It took its current form in 2010, when the Donghae Cultural Center ran a project turning local elders' life stories into wall murals.

As you climb the alley, the harbor view opens up wider and wider, and distinctive little cafes along the way make good spots to rest. The path naturally ends at Mukho Lighthouse, a fitting way to finish the walk.

Useful tips

  • The alley keeps climbing at a slope, so it's best to wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • You can also take a break partway up at one of the cafes, enjoy the harbor view, and continue climbing afterward.
  • Walking all the way to Mukho Lighthouse gives the walk a natural finish.
