There are three of them one on top the other here the one at the bottom's bent over and it's got a bit of a sad face on and then there's another one standing on top of that one also looking a bit sad and then on top of that one there's another one with a face and

a beard and the mouth is smiling looking quite pleased with itself.

Very strange, very striking.

This is actually just a really nice park. You can feel the sea breeze, there's the smell of salt water in the air.

And there are beautiful beds of flowers, manicured hedges.

It's a lovely place in its own right, but it's hard to ignore all the BBC World Service, I'm Simon Mabin.

It's a sunny Sunday afternoon in Heseindang Park, perhaps better known as the Penis Park, on South Korea's East Coast.

Everywhere you look, there are sculptures gold, brown, wood, stone, benches, stools, water features. The origins of this park come from a local legend. The story goes that after a young

woman drowned at sea, none of the fishermen could catch fish. Then one of them one night

went for a pee over the edge of the cliff and the next day miraculously he was able to

catch fish. All his friend said what was your secret? He told them and they decided that what they needed to do was to assuage this young woman's spirit with falluses. So they erected a fallus here on the edge of the cliff and their prayers were answered, the fish were plentiful again.

It's a popular place. Our translator, Jake Kwan, helps us find out why.

Sokii is a whole thing.

I'm going to go. First lady with a more brighter close she said it is very nice but it seems a little

indecent it's a little embarrassing for me to look at these things here.

The second lady said, why?

It's very nice, but the flowers and you know, it's pretty here.

I like it.

I really like it here.

I've been here three times now and I asked him like well do you

come here possibly because you know you get a certain energy about this place and

then this she said well I shouldn't be receiving any energy from here
