“Moon, moon, a moon as round as a platter. Where have you gone? To Yongdusan Park, of course!”
The year 2020 has been rather difficult for everyone, and we hope that we’ll be able to return to a sense of normalcy as the new year approaches. During these weary days, Yongdusan Park’s Moon Rabbit nighttime photo zone offers a small solace.

The famous Yongdusan Park takes on a completely different charm when it shines with beautiful lights to offer a romantic sanctuary for those who wander around at night. Busan Tower’s media facade offers a constantly shifting scene, while special lighting projects offer a warm comfort in the coldest winter nights. The beautiful views of Busan’s city center at night are a quintessential part of Yongdusan Park’s charms and a glimpse of happiness we discover anew amid the far-reaching changes in our daily lives.

Oh? Is that the moon and a rabbit I see?
The plaza in front of Busan Tower is now home to the mythical Moon Rabbit surrounded by beautiful lights. Korea shares the folklore of the Moon Rabbit with many East Asian cultures. In the tale, the moon shows the figure of a rabbit working tirelessly on a mortar, but these days, the rabbit’s apparently enjoying a vacation at Yongdusan Park. This nighttime photo zone is actually a public exhibition held to serve as solace to the people of Busan. We’re no strangers to the new phenomenon of the “Corona Blues,” so we hope that the Moon Rabbit photo zone can offer some comfort in these trying times.

Visitors’ faces light up with surprise and curiosity at seeing the massive rabbit in Yongdusan Park. “What’s this?” someone murmurs as other people fiddle with the switch and step closer to say hi to the rabbit. They say, “I’ve got to take a picture of this,” and shutters begin to click. As visitors indulge in selfies, the park is once again filled with laughter. If we could make a wish to the moon, we would wish that a future as bright as the Moon Rabbit will arrive soon.

Even though we’ve been through hardships together as the year brought our lives to a standstill, we hope that the time we spend with the Moon Rabbit will offer us a small gift of solace.
