Abandoned amusement parks possess a haunting allure. Yongma Land, which closed permanently in 2011, was later reopened by savvy entrepreneurs. For a fee, visitors can wander among stationary bumper cars and rusting rides, with attractions like a grinning blue genie, a swashbuckling pirate, and a mural featuring pop star Michael Jackson. Other eerie sights include robots with red eyes, deteriorating Sailor Moon statues, and numerous stray cats. For an added thrill, guests can pay extra to stay after dark, experiencing the creaky merry-go-round’s illumination. However, be warned: ghostly carnival tunes might linger in your dreams.
