The story
The official tourism page describes the bridges as the crossing once used by Abai Village residents moving on foot toward the city hall side of Sokcho.
Behind the signature
For visitors, the bridges turn local infrastructure into a route. The view explains why Abai Village, Cheongchoho Lake, the market, and the beach feel close on a map but historically depended on crossings and shortcuts.
Local tip
There are stairs and elevators down toward Abai Village, so this can work as a low-cost walking route rather than only a photo stop.
Seasonal note
Sunset, blue hour, and clear winter days are best for photos. Strong wind over the water can make the bridge colder than surrounding streets.
For travelers
International travelers interested in displaced-person culture can use this bridge walk to physically connect Abai Village with the newer city around Cheongchoho Lake.
