Information Introduction Sandglass Park is surrounded by the East Sea, mountains and Jeongdongjin 2-ri Village
Sandglass Park has pine trees, benches facing the sea, and access to Jeongdongjin Beach
A sandglass doesn’t show the present time like a sundial and a water glass and it measures the time elapsed by sand volume descending through gravity
So, the sandglass was used for determining the velocity
Jeongdongjin Sandglass Park was established in 1999 by Gangneung-si and Samsung Electronics Co
to commemorate the upcoming century
Part of this commemoration was the building of the giant sandglass at the park
The Sandglass has a diameter of 8
06m, its width is 3
2m, a weight of 40 tons and holds 8 tons of sand, making it one of the biggest sandglasses in the world
It takes a whole year for sand to trickle to the bottom and then the sandglass restarts again on New Year’s Day each year at midnight
