Busan! It is truly a city of a thousand sights. One finds oneself trying to fit more and more places to visit on one’s itinerary.

A road where one walks alone is beautiful. Each step that one takes is imbued with the power of the earth, each thing passing by a stoic moment of farewell. The scent of grass fills the road with the expectation of life to come. When one steps freely without being beholden to anything, it is perfectly okay to hesitate, for no matter where one goes, one’s steps will bring one to sceneries untold. There lies history unknown, and thoughts untapped. That’s why it is so beautiful to walk alone. Here are some of the roads in Busan where one can walk alone.

It has become common to see Busan's scenery in movies or dramas. The unique scenes and atmosphere that can only be encountered in Busan, such as the sea, port, alleys, and mountainside roads, are more like a movie than a movie, and more like a drama than a drama. Busan also appears in the popular drama 'Reborn Rich' and in the movie 'Decision to Leave' directed by Park Chan-wook, who recently won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival. Today, we introduce Busan, which has appeared in movies and dramas like this. I hope you will be immersed in the attractions of Busan while walking around the city, like the main characters in the movies and dramas.

There is something that gives us comfort everyday with an appearance that seems both the same and different at the same time. This something is the “sky”! Whenever our hearts are stifled, a simple look towards the open, shining sky provides us with more heartwarming consolation than any words. But the sky is never the same. The beauty and the color of the sky changes depending on the harmonization of the landscape. The scenery of the western sky of Busan that features Songdo, Yeongdo and Busanhang Port displays an exotic but fantastic view including the gorgeous indigo-colored sea and the glamorous downtown. On an autumn day with “a high sky and plump horses”, let’s pay a visit to the observatories where we can fully appreciate the western sky of Busan.

Would you like to experience the history of Busan and see the true beauty of Busan? Then, visit the mountainside roads! Busan has many mountains, and land is scarce, so during the Japanese colonial period, people from all over the country went up to the mountains in search of work and formed shanty towns. Moreover, as the population of Busan, which was 280,000 at the time of liberation, grew to well over 1 million during the Korean War, refugees who fled at the time also built houses in the mountains and lived there. Mountainside roads were created to connect the mountain villages formed in this way. Over several years, the mountainside roads symbolizing Busan's folk history were reborn through the Mountainside Road Regeneration Project. Visitors can take an observatory tour to enjoy the panoramic view of Busan from the mountainside roads. Why don’t you plan a trip there right now?
