Are you looking for a cool place to escape the hot summer? Then, Busan’s blue sea would be perfect for your getaway. However, there are other places you can visit in this city. Busan has several valleys that allow for cool relaxation and recreation which surrounded by famous mountains. As such, we recommend three representative valleys in downtown Busan!
Jangsan Valley
Haeundae’s well-known Jangsan Mountain is perfect for trekking regardless of the season with its beautiful scenic view and clean water. Passed through Daecheon Park that features a large lake at the entrance leads directly to Jangsan Valley. From the entrance, there is a dull lake and it becomes overflowing as you approach the top.
The perfect place with well-organized rocks, clean water, and green scenery! Wet your feet and calm your body and mind in this relaxing spot.
Sitting by the valley while bathing your feet in clear water offers you a glimpse of heaven. With multiple small and large rocks in the area, the cool breeze that blows through the forest also refreshes your mood and body in the summer time anywhere you sit and rest.
Overcome the summer heat with Jangsan Mountain’s green forests and pristine energy!

The valley water originating from Geumjeongsan Mountain leads toward Daecheoncheon Stream and it presents visitors with a beautiful view of the valley as the water flowing down between huge rocks to create a large and clear lake - Daecheoncheon Aegiso lake which is the visitors’ favorite.

Daecheoncheon Valley has different water levels. Heading the upper, you will immediately notice that certain places are “for children,” while others, “for teens.” The abundant volume of water also produces a satisfying sound. Listen to the beautiful harmony of nature’s music created by birds chirping in the forest.
Enjoy an enjoyable time on the valley under the shades of trees in the green forest, and say goodbye to the hot summer heat!

The well-kept valley has a deck walkway, wooden benches, and a forest playground for children are made the place perfect for families. You can spend time with your kids in the shallow valley. However, the water level will be deepened when you climb over the valley, so some areas are banned to visit. Along the forest walking trail, it is a good place to smell of grass and soil as a therapeutic walk in the forest. Sounds like a good place to stay in all day away from the heat, doesn’t it?
