🎨 Light and Shadow Art Museum: Yumin Art Nouveau
• 10-minute walk: From Glass House, follow the path straight ahead, capturing coastal views along the way.

🌋 Volcanic Sunset Finale: Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak
• Transportation: 10-minute taxi ride (about 7,000 KRW), or take bus 702 to the foot of the mountain.

🌊 One-Day Highlights Summary
