Positioned atop Bohyeonsan Mountain, Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory stands as a prominent hub for optical astronomy observation in Korea. The facility encompasses an optical telescope building, a solar telescope building, and a visitor center. The visitor center doubles as an exhibition hall, showcasing an impressive collection of astronomical photographs.
Regular public events are scheduled on the fourth Saturday of April through June, and again in September and October. During these events, participants can attend an astronomy lecture and spend twenty minutes touring both the optical and solar telescope buildings. Reservations for these events can be made via the website, starting from 10 a.m. on Monday until 5 p.m. on Friday of the respective event week.
