Busan - Taejongdae Resort Park

Oct 21, 2014| South Korea| Korea| Video


One of the first surprises I got when I started visiting Busan was to find out there was park called Taejongdae, offering majestic views and beautiful cliffs in the southernmost tip of one the islands facing the open sea.The park offers an observation deck where some of the Japanese islands can be observed. There is also a white lighthouse with a downward path where you either eat raw fish in next to the waves crashing into the cliffs or walk to otherside to step into a natural flat platform made of stone and get an amazing view on the cliffs. I took the picture you see above when I was walking towards the viewing platform.
Tips and viewpoints: The fastest way to get there is to take the bus 101 close to busan station. It's possible to walk all the way up to the observatory but it's relatively long. A good alternative is to get a ticket for a "mini train" that costs 2000 KRW. It's a good idea to go in the afternoon just before sunset. You get an amazing view of the light on the cliffs and the sea. I didn't try the fresh seafood because I was full already, but I looked at the people eating next to the cliffs and it looked like a unusual but cool plan. If you enjoy cliffs in general, this is one of the attractions you shouldn't miss from Busan. Look at the following video to get a glimpse on the waves crashing into the rocks:
