A gold and silver mine from 1912 until it closed in 1972, Gwangmyeong Cave has been reinvented as a cool (a constant ~12°C), all-weather underground attraction. Follow the lantern-lit tunnels past a glowing 'Golden Waterfall', LED light art and a giant dragon sculpture, then taste Korean wine in the cave cellar. Quirky, family-friendly and easy to reach — just one KTX stop from Seoul Station.
