Busan Air Cruise

01 Busan Air Cruise

The Busan Air Cruise, revived after 29 years with an investment of KRW 66.5 billion, reopened in June 2017 to restore the former glory of Songdo Beach, the first in Korea to be designated as a public beach.

Songdo Beach

02 Songdo Beach

Located in Amnam-dong, Seo-gu, Songdo Beach opened in July 1913 as Korea’s first public beach and the nation’s first modern beach resort. Initially developed as a recreational area for Japanese residents in Busan, it quickly became one of the city’s most popular tourist destinations along with Dongnae and Haeundae Hot Springs.

Amnam Park

03 Amnam Park

Amnam Park offers breathtaking scenery, with views of the sea framed by coastline pine trees and ships floating peacefully against a picturesque backdrop. Nestled in the Jinjeongsan Mountain area of Amnam-dong, Seo-gu, and renowned for its spectacular coastal cliffs, this park offers a forest trail accompanied by a scenic coastline.

Daesin Park

04 Daesin Park

Established in 1900 with the construction of two water reservoirs in the valleys of Gudeoksan and Eomgwangsan Mountains, Daesin Park was originally off-limits to the public to protect the water supply. In 1944, the area was officially designated as a natural park, and access remained restricted for many years.

Gudeok Culture Park

05 Gudeok Culture Park

This scenic park is home to the Education Museum and the Folk Living Museum, set against a lush forest. There is also a Mokseok Horticultural Hall, where plants thrive in harmony with nature. Visitors can stroll along stone stairways and bamboo water spouts, listening to the sound of fresh spring water flowing into stone basins.

Songdo Seaside Bolle-gil

06 Songdo Seaside Bolle-gil

The Songdo Seaside Bolle-gil is an 800-meter-long, one-meter-wide trail connecting Songdo Beach and Amnam Park. The walk takes about 20 minutes one way and offers sweeping views of Songdo’s coastal waters dotted with anchored ships, as well as the striking sedimentary cliffs of Amnam Park formed over 100 million years ago.

Busan Cooperative Fish Market

07 Busan Cooperative Fish Market

Located at 691-3 Nambumin 1-dong, the Busan Cooperative Fish Market was founded in 1963 under the name “Busan General Fish Market” at Pier 1 to promote the welfare of fishing communities and protect consumers. The market was renamed Busan Cooperative Fish Market in 1971, following revisions to the Fisheries Cooperative Act.

Cheonmasan Sculpture Park

Here, the Cheonma Rock—where legends tell a celestial horse descended upon the land—stands peacefully in the sea of clouds, along with 44 beautiful sculptures. Set on a 324-meter-high hill on the west side of Namhang Port, the park spans about 16,000 square meters.

Gudeok Stadium
