Samunjin Ferry Landing was used by peddlers who traveled from Busan to Daegu by boat on the Nakdong River, and there is a record that an American missionary brought a piano here in 1900.
After Samunjin Bridge was built, the ferry landing that was about to disappear was revived. It is now a history and culture park with a Piano Square, a traditional tavern village, and sculptures. The park is always open. The sightseeing boat fare is 10,000 won for adults and 7,000 won for children on weekdays, and 12,000 won for adults and 9,000 won for children on weekends.
