Gwangmyeong Cave is a theme park operated by the city with a total length of 7.8km and an open tunnel of 2km. It is a rare cave that can be found in the metropolitan area.

In 2011, the cave that used to be a coal mine was purchased by Gwangmyeong City and developed into a tourist attraction. It is now a famous tourist facility that attracts over a million visitors annually.

The reason why Gwangmyeong Cave attracts attention is due to the unique performances that take place inside the cave. It features performances that are pretty and eye-catching, such as the first-ever 3D character movie screening with animals, the opening of a wine cave, and the Wormhole Plaza that shapes the light of space.

Enjoy a fulfilling time at the Gwangmyeong Cave with spectacular lighting!
