1.Penis Park, South Korea
The falic forms are important in the Asian culture, so it is not surprising that this continent has several enclosures dedicated to them, such as Haesindang Park, located in Sinnam, a small town on the east coast of South Korea.All the enclosure is full of penis sculptures of all the sizes, colors and shapes that one can imagine.From the canon with a falic form to all kinds of seats that the visitor can use to rest if the impression is too large.
