The 600 m Tappjeongho Suspension Bridge, Now Nonsan's Second Scenic Highlight

The Tappjeongho Suspension Bridge is a pedestrian suspension bridge across a lake, introduced by Nonsan City as its second scenic highlight. Chungnam Tourism lists the bridge as 600 m long, and because it crosses Tappjeongho, visitors can see the lake and surrounding scenery together from the bridge.

The bridge began construction in August 2018 and was completed in October 2020. Since this is not merely a place to stand at a lakeside observatory but a landmark where visitors actually cross a 600 m section, reviews sometimes recommend allowing about two hours, including the round trip and lakeside deck walk.

The Size of Tappjeongho, Fed by the Waterways of Daedunsan

Tappjeongho is introduced as the second-largest lake in Chungcheongnam-do and holds water from the waterways of Daedunsan. It can store more than 30 million tons of freshwater, and descriptions say that its clear, clean water supports abundant freshwater fish such as carp and mandarin fish.

The lake extends across four townships of Nonsan, so there is no single fixed access route. Tappjeongho Lakeside Deck and Tappjeongho Lakeside Ecological Park have been developed nearby, and the lakeside loop road has been completed, making it possible to combine the suspension bridge and a drive in one itinerary.

Why You Should Enter Sinpung-ri 769 as Your Destination

The destination address for the suspension bridge is 769 Sinpung-ri, Bujeok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. The Chungnam Tourism page separately lists 905 Tapjeong-ro, Gayagok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, while the Nonsan City tourism page lists the Tappjeongho location as 665 Bujeok-ro, Bujeok-myeon, Nonsan-si. Therefore, it is safer to enter Sinpung-ri 769 directly in your navigation system rather than searching only by the facility name.

Information on public transportation does not provide a station name, exit number, bus route, or stop details. Foreign travelers should not plan to walk directly from Nonsan Station or the Nonsan Intercity Bus Terminal. Instead, they should set the address as the final destination for a taxi or rental car and also consider that the lake spans four townships.

Actual Walking Times from North Parking Lot 1 and North Parking Lot 2

There are parking facilities around the suspension bridge, and nearby parking areas mentioned include North Parking Lot 1 and North Parking Lot 2. The Music Fountain Parking Lot is also located across the bridge. Since no confirmed information is available about parking capacity or fees, you should not plan your itinerary assuming that parking is free.

Reviews explain that it takes more than 30 minutes on foot from North Parking Lot 1 to the suspension bridge and more than 20 minutes from North Parking Lot 2. Visitors may be surprised if they expect to see the bridge entrance immediately after parking, as the round-trip travel time can increase considerably depending on the parking lot selected.

Seasonal Hours and Free Admission

Admission is free. Operating hours are 09:00–18:00 from March to May and September to October, and 09:00–20:00 from June to August, with admissions closing at 19:30 in summer. From November to February, it operates from 09:00–17:00.

No regular closing days are listed in the official information. However, visitors are advised that operations may change because of severe weather or construction. In particular, inquiries are necessary before setting out on a visit after sunset in winter or on days when rain or strong winds are expected. The inquiry phone number is 041-746-6645~9, and the official listed address is 905 Tapjeong-ro, Gayagok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do.

What to Expect Regarding Movement and Rest Areas on the Bridge

Reviews say that the bridge may feel slightly shaky when crowded. Travelers who are sensitive to movement at high elevations should slow down near the center and use the seating areas provided in the middle of the bridge.

Although the scenery of Tappjeongho can be viewed at a glance from the suspension bridge, the actual accessibility for wheelchairs and strollers has not been confirmed. Information about photography restrictions, restricted-access areas, English signage, and audio-guide availability has also not been confirmed, so visitors should not assume that the entire pedestrian bridge or foreign-language explanations will be available.

Evening Sunsets Around Sinpung-ri and Summer Night Views

Nonsan City tourism information recommends the evening sunset viewed from around Sinpung-ri, Bujeok-myeon. Therefore, rather than simply crossing the bridge and returning, a practical order is to arrive at the lakeside in the direction of Sinpung-ri before sunset, enjoy the waterfront scenery, and finish entering the bridge within the seasonal closing hours.

Chungnam Tourism classifies the Tappjeongho Suspension Bridge as a night-view attraction. However, operating hours from November to February are 09:00–17:00, making it difficult to plan nighttime walking in winter, and even from June to August admissions close at 19:30. The Music Fountain's operating hours are separate from those of the suspension bridge, so they cannot be substituted with the operating hours given in this article.

An Itinerary Combining the Lakeside Deck and Freshwater Spicy Fish Stew

The address of Tappjeongho Lakeside Deck is 721-10 Bujeok-ro, Bujeok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do, and the address of Tappjeongho Lakeside Ecological Park is 665 Bujeok-ro, Bujeok-myeon, Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do. Reviews sometimes recommend allowing about two hours at a relaxed pace to follow the deck path to the suspension bridge and return, so you should distinguish between an itinerary covering only the bridge round trip and one that also includes a lakeside walk.

Local food around the lake includes freshwater spicy fish stew made with shrimp caught in the area. Tappjeongho's crucian carp are described among anglers as offering an enjoyable fishing experience, but no information has been confirmed about areas where tourists may fish or equipment rentals. Reviews also mention cafés and shops on the opposite side of the bridge, providing options for a break after walking.

Restrictions and Contact Information to Know Before Departure

Restrooms are available around the Tappjeongho Suspension Bridge. Parking facilities are also listed, but reviews say that North Parking Lot 1 and North Parking Lot 2 require more than 30 minutes and more than 20 minutes of walking, respectively. Families with children, older visitors, and travelers with limited mobility should therefore choose their parking location carefully from the outset.

The official website is the Chungnam Tourism information page for the Tappjeongho Suspension Bridge, and the inquiry phone number is 041-746-6645~9. Admission is free, but operating hours differ: 09:00–18:00 from March to May and September to October, 09:00–20:00 from June to August, and 09:00–17:00 from November to February. Operations may change during severe weather or construction.
