"[5] Open in 2010, one of the longest zip lines in Asia got a boost in recognition - and frequentation - after it was featured in Korea’s highly popular show “A day and a Half” aired in February 2016.

Its twin cables start from an 80-meter tall tower (with a lift), which provides a 7.47% average grade for a 3,083 feet length, bringing a top speed of 35 miles/hour.
