Hoedong Reservoir

Hoedong Reservoir is an artificial reservoir built for citizens having suffered from drought in the past. Located in Oryun-dong and Hoedong-dong of Geumjeong-gu, it boasts a storage capacity of 18.5 million tons. This reservoir was responsible for the source of Busan’s water supply. Being designated as a water source conservation area in 1964, it was restricted from public access until 2010. Lacking the footsteps of visitors to the reservoir for nearly 50 years, it naturally became a place where beautiful ecosystems and nature that have not been polluted by humans can be encountered.

Since Hoedong Reservoir sits on both Oryun-dong and Hoedong-dong, there are several ways to access the area, which makes it an ideal place to travel during this season.

Oryukdo is a beautiful island located in Yongho-dong, Nam-gu, Busan and designated as Scenic Site No. 24.

In addition, Sunrise Park has a well-established deck road so, if you walk up along this path, you can get a closer look at the scenery of Oryukdo Island. The landscape surrounding Oryukdo that you can look out at while walking along the deck road shows phenomenally cool scenery and the unique colors of the blue sea.
