Taejongdae Park

We’re talking about Taejongdae Park at the southern end of Yeongdo, Busan. Taejongdae Park has an excellent observatory point that looks out into the ocean and a well-organized maritime pebble yard and a connecting stairway path. Travelers get excited at the changing scenery as they walk around. Despite being located near the city, the place feels like it’s less tainted by the dirt of the world.

Haeundae Beach/ Songjeong Beach

When people mention Busan, the first thing that comes to mind is the sea! Among Busan’s various beaches, Haeundae Beach is the best-known destination. Not only in summer but all year round, Haeundae Beach attracts a multitude of tourists seeking the dynamic atmosphere of Busan.

Songjeong Beach, known as one of the three major beaches of eastern Busan alongside Haeundae and Gwangalli, is a popular family vacation destination thanks to its shallow waters and gentle slope. Recently, the beach has been receiving great attention as the mecca of surfing for all four seasons. Thanks to the location, where the east sea meets the south sea, the beach is affected by the northern and southern winds, causing the ideal high tide all year round.

The Gamcheon Culture Village, now a landmark of west Busan, is favored by tourists as an experience-based destination. Follow the stamp map purchased at the village information center to complete the alley tour.

Yongdusan Park/Jagalchi

If Haeundae is the hot spot of east Busan, Nampo-dong is the most popular place in central Busan. Yongdusan Park is a leading landmark of Busan frequented by those who visit the region. Even though the road to Yongdusan Park has an ascending slope, the trees cast a cool shade along the road, making it a pleasant walk to the entrance of the park. For travelers who will take the Busan Metro, they can use the escalator entrance close to the station to reach the park more conveniently.

This dynamic, outdoor Jagalchi Market is different from the neat and modern indoor market. If you come to the market in the early morning, you will see the market in full vitality. The fish products range from the dried fish to live, fresh fish, which was just caught from the sea.
