Yongdusan Park
Busan's time-honored urban park celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. The park, named "Yongdu," for its dragon head shape, has long been loved by Koreans. Walk from the bustling Nampo Station to the escalator leading to Yong-dusan Mountain, where high-rise Busan Tower and the Octagonal Pavilion on the small hill come into view. Take in a refreshing view of Busan Port in the distance, while walking the pathway in the camellia tree forest encircling the park.
Busan Tower, located within the park offers views of Yeongdo, Nampo-dong, Gukje Market and Busan Port from 180 meters. As lights turn on one after another at dusk, a spectacular view of the port against the backdrop of Gukje Market and Gwangbok-dong emerges. It's also a popular meeting place for New Year's Eve, where thousands meet for a celebration at 11 p.m. the last night each year. Don't miss out on it.
- How to get there: Get off at Nampo Station (Metro line 1) and go out exit 7. Walk about 5 minutes to find the escalator on the right.
