Jungsan Sunset Observatory
## Jungsan Sunset Observatory (중산 일몰 전망대): what’s here, where it is, and what’s verifiably true
Jungsan Sunset Observatory is a designated sunset viewpoint in Namyang-myeon, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do (South Jeolla Province), South Korea, commonly referenced in English as “Jungsan Sunset Observatory” and in Korean as 중산 일몰 전망대.
It’s repeatedly described by local/government tourism materials as a place known specifically for sunset views in the Jungsan (중산) area, and Goheung County Office frames it as one of Goheung’s signature scenic points.

## Location details you can rely on
Address (as published by Goheung County Office):
3777, Goheung-ro, Namyang-myeon, Goheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea
Your supplied coordinates match the South Coast/Jeollanam-do region and the address format used by multiple travel listings for this exact place name.
### A quick accuracy flag on your input
Your dataset lists the city as “Suncheon”, but the address points to Goheung-gun (고흥군)—a different locality from Suncheon-si (순천시). Based on the official Goheung County tourism page and multiple listings, the observatory is in Goheung-gun, not Suncheon. If “Suncheon” is being used in your CMS as a broader regional hub for internal organization, that’s a taxonomy choice—not the administrative location.

## What the site is (and what facilities are confirmed)
A regional film/location database entry for 중산일몰전망대 categorizes it as a park/green space/rest area, and explicitly notes it sits beside an automobile-only road, functioning as an observatory + rest stop with on-site amenities. Specifically, it states there is:
– A wide parking area
– A pavilion (정자)
– A small stage
– Restrooms
That same entry lists “parking space: 10 cars” (주차공간 10대). Treat this as a published point-in-time detail—not a capacity guarantee—because parking supply can be expanded, re-striped, or seasonally managed.

## Why it’s well-known: the “Jungsan sunset” claim (officially stated)
Goheung County Office positions the sunset at Jungsan (중산) as a standout Goheung experience and explicitly ties that reputation to Jungsan Sunset Observatory.
Separate general information from Goheung County Office also clarifies that Goheung’s geography is coastal and island-rich (peninsula + offshore islands), which aligns with why coastal viewpoints like this are emphasized in local tourism.
—
## Contact info: available, but you should verify before publishing
One travel listing (Trip.com) publishes a phone number for “ticket inquiry”:
– +82-61-830-6133
Important context: an outdoor observatory/viewpoint is often free and unticketed, but some listings still attach a general regional contact line. I can’t confirm from an official government page (in the sources above) whether this number is the observatory’s administrator, a broader tourism desk, or a general attraction line. If you publish it, label it as “listed contact” and consider cross-checking on a Korean-language official page or local signage on arrival.
—
## Hours and fees: not safely publishable from the sources I found
None of the authoritative sources surfaced here (notably the Goheung County Office English pages) provide opening hours or admission fees for Jungsan Sunset Observatory.
Because your requirement is “only factual information you 100% know,” the only responsible statement is:
– Hours and fees are not confirmed in the official sources retrieved here and should be verified locally or via an official Goheung tourism contact before you publish specifics.
—
## How to describe it accurately (without over-claiming)
Based on the official and published descriptions above, the most defensible way to frame the experience is:
– It is a sunset viewpoint/observation deck in Namyang-myeon, Goheung-gun, promoted as a notable place to see the Jungsan sunset.
– It functions as a roadside observatory + rest area, with parking and restrooms explicitly mentioned in a published site entry.
– It sits in a county defined by peninsula + islands and strong coastal context, which explains the tourism focus on views.
That’s enough to write a clean, factual listing-style guide section in a larger Jeollanam-do itinerary—without inventing scenic specifics (mudflats, islands, etc.) unless you choose to cite additional sources you trust.
—
## Internal links (your requirement) — why I’m not inserting them
You asked for two contextual internal links, but I don’t have verifiable knowledge of your RealJourneyTravels.com URL structure, slugs, or whether relevant hub pages exist (e.g., /south-korea/, /jeollanam-do/, /goheung/). Including guessed URLs would violate your “100% factual” constraint.
If you want, paste:
– the site’s South Korea hub URL (or your category slug pattern), and
– any existing Jeollanam-do / Goheung / coastal viewpoints page URL,
and I’ll weave them in cleanly while keeping everything strict and accurate.
