My very 1st lighthouse card from South Korea. Udo Lighthouse is located on Jeju island.

Udo Lighthouse was the first lighthouse on the eastern side of Jeju Island. It began operations in March, 1906. 

In December 2003, a circular concrete lighthouse with a height of 16m was newly built. It has the capability of illuminating the way for ocean-going vessels even 50 kilometers away.

This is the first lighthouse-themed park in Korea, one which contributes to the local economy.

At the Udo Lighthouse Park, there is an PR Exhibition Room, a 3D Experience Hall, and scale models of 14 domestic and overseas lighthouses, including the Paros Lighthouse in Greece, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. - in: https://www.visitjeju.net/en/detail/view?contentsid=CNTS_000000000020565#
