An image of humpback whale, called ‘Dreaming Whale’, will be formed by gathering all the photos uploaded. If you click on a button “search for your position”, you may be able to locate your photos. Dreaming Whale signifies and embodies the creative concept of the EDG.

A rebirth of abandoned silos, the Sky Tower The Sky Tower is a symbolic construction made by transforming a pair of industrialization-period abandoned silos into a beautiful artistic masterpiece. On the outside of the Sky Tower installed is a pipe organ named ‘Vox Maris’ (meaning ‘the sound of the sea’ in Latin) which makes the greatest sound in the world. The pipe organ, based on the Expo’s marine concept, was created after a boat horn (referred to the sound of the sea). It has 80 scales similar to a piano and the maximum sound of 138.4 decibels so it delivers its sound as far as 6 kilometers away. The silo No. 1 has a theater showing a film of wonderful scenery of the south coast. The silo No. 2 houses a facility that holds 12 tons of desalinated seawater prepared for you to try. On the observation deck, you can watch the entire Expo site, downtown Yeosu and even Odong Island at one sight.

The Sky Tower’s observation deck is located on the highest place of whole Expo site. It is definitely the best place to take commemorative photos with the Expo site as a backdrop!

The Sky Tower pipe organ, made of 80 boat horn pipes, will be played live six times a day, delivering national anthem of participating countries and other tunes.
