In addition to the beachfront, the Gwangalli area is filled with delicious restaurants and romantic cafes, as well as stores selling famous fashion brands. The area has plenty to offer, but many people come in the evening to take in the bright lights of Gwangandaegyo Bridge, stretching across the horizon.

Hwangnyeongsan Observatory Cafe

The sunset at Hwangnyeongsan Observatory is well worth the wait. As the surroundings get dark, the sky turns red and the city begins to turn golden. Time to meet Busan, a lovely city full of romance. Sitting in a rocking chair and looking at the dazzling dusk, that moment is healing. When the magic hour disappears, the city lights up all at once. It is a moment that makes your eyes happy with the colourful lights that each boasts. The colourful lights in harmony with the black night sea make Busan's night even more beautiful.

The serene park spreads across a grassy plain area of 135,000 square metres. Some notable sites and memorials include: Memorial Service Hall, Memorabilia Hall, two Turkish Monuments, Greek Monument, Australian Monument, British Commonwealth Monument and two ponds.

Oryukdo Skywalk

Oryukdo Skywalk is located at what was called Seungdumal, meaning a saddle, due to the shape of the point. It was also called Jallokgae by residents and female divers in the area. Iron columns were set up over a 35-meter-high coastal cliff, and a 15-meter glass bridge comprised of 24 glass plates and shaped like a horse’s hoof connect the iron columns. The glass flooring was made by four layers of 12-millimeter glass panels coated with a bulletproof film for a total thickness of 55.49 millimetres, making the structure quite safe. Visitors will be thrilled with the view of the waves while looking down through the transparent floor. The sea stretches out ahead of the skywalk, perfect for a photo op.

40m
Admission ticket not included

Songdo Beach

Opened in 1913, Songdo Beach is the first beach in Korea. After its golden period in the 1960s and 1970s, the beach became deserted. Those who wished to bring it back to its former beauty joined forces to repair the abandoned beach, making it even more breathtaking than it was in its heyday.

Busan Tower

30m
