 We went for a short ride to discover Tongyeon tower, so we drove from Geoje to Tongyeon. It was a fun trip with a good lunch at Tongyeon tower.  Once we reached the place we need to take a small tunnel under the bridge/ highway to reach to the tower. Inside the tower, first take an elevator to the top of the top. At the terrace enjoy the beautiful view of the city and bridge beside and the ocean.  On the fifth floor(just re-confirm) there is a revolving resturant named Bonappetit, serving good Italian food with a number of wines. The pizzas are really good. You will really love the view outside the window while enjoying the meal in a revolving resturant. Surely worth a visit, further you can make a visit to emart or lotte mart to shop.
