Dadaepo Beach Park
Picnickers take advantage of the endless lawn and shady trees at Busan Citizens'Park near downtown Seomyeon. May is the perfect time for outdoor activities within one of the city's ample park areas, many located in the midst of busy commercial zones.
Blue sky, a warm breeze, shady trees and a picnic lunch in the park: there are few combinations quite so sweet and now is the prime time to enjoy it all. Explore urban parks located in and around the downtown area while chaotic city life fills the scene outside. Spread out a mat on an open lawn for a lunchtime break, bring a book and stay all day, or discover the tranquility of the sea and riverside walkways surrounding the city at any stolen moment during the day. From glassy ponds and quiet pathways to beach sunsets and hilltop lookouts, there's a special place nearby waiting to be found.
Park of fountain dreams and sunsets
- Dadaepo Beach Park
The forests and walkways of Dadeaepo Beach offer a relaxing hideaway well-worth the trip to the outskirts of town. Escape the bustle of the city along stepping stones and small suspension bridges in pine forests while nearby streams and pathways converge at the center of the park.
Each summer hordes of spectators visit Dadaepo Beach Park for the Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dreams, the world's largest ground fountain, measuring 60 meters in diameter and 180 meters in circumference. The fountain is a draw for visitors the world over who come to watch it project columns of water as high as 50 meters, choreographed to soft melodies. Catch the fountain show four times during the day, and once with music in the evening during the week. It runs twice daily on weekends, but not at all on Mondays.
The beach itself is well-known for its beautiful sunsets. Pull up a seat to watch the golden glow of the setting sun travel across the sand or follow the last light on a wander down the Saha Sunset Road walkway. While there, check out nearby Sunset Park on Molundae Cliff and Eulsukdo Island Ecological District.
- How to get there: Get off at Sinpyeong Station on Metro line 1 and go out exit 4. Take bus Nos. 2, 11, 96, 338 bound for Dadaepo and get off at the Daewoo Apartment or Dadaepo bus stop.
