Really big, taxi service is convenient but you should have all address in Korean as taxi drivers are not speaking other languages (English)

We were there for the swimming but there did not seem to be much else to see and there was minimum literature on the place. Not even a detailed map of the area which luckily google maps have. Would not go back as a tourist
