Gohado Island Observatory was built to resemble the traditional battleships of the Joseon dynasty, like those used by Admiral Yi Sunshin. The observatory is a popular location due to the wonderful views it affords of the sea surrounding Gohado Island. The observatory also includes a rest area and exhibitions about Mokpo tourism and history.
