10 Nature & Parks in Busan That You Shouldn't Miss

June 24, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Busan is Korea's second largest city.  Tourists often come to this region to hike and to visit the Buddhist Temples located deep within the region's mountains. The Beomeosa Temple, founded in 678 AD, is perhaps one of the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.

Ahopsan Forest

Reviewed By JoeyChai1210

Ahopsan Forest was originally a private forest and maybe because of that, this bamboo forest is still very much preserved and holds one of the best bamboo view I've seen in Korea. Get yourself a photogenic picture at the stone gate, which was much featured in the k-drama "The King: Eternal Monarch'. (*Tips: Remember to bring yourself some mosquito repellent too!)

UN Memorial Cemetery

Reviewed By JTeale - Ulsan, South Korea

This is a well kept and somber place that has a haunting sense of beauty to it. I went during the summer and it was extremely clean and manicured. It is a quiet place for those to remember the fallen soldiers from all of the countries that sent soldiers to Korea.

Gwangalli Beach

Reviewed By moot - Tenbury Wells, United Kingdom

We stayed on a hotel overlooking the beach and we loved the beach itself and the whole area. Lots of restaurants and bars to choose from and a wonderful beach to stroll along- plus the convenience of the compressed air pumps to clean the sand off your shoes afterwards.

Songdo Beach

Reviewed By thesoulofseoulblog - Seoul, South Korea

I loved visiting Songdo Beach because its really more than a beach as it features a cable car, walking paths around cliffs, and a suspension bridge. Plenty to see and do and lots of restaurants and cafes here too.

Reviewed By PeTeRpAnEbLaCkPiG - Seoul, South Korea

Came with friends on Sunday morning for a little hike. Best attraction that I went to in Busan. Is not a tough walk, saw may elderly walk up and have their own party with food and drinks. Is a must visit place.

Busan Citizens Park

Reviewed By Sarah53187 - Dunedin, New Zealand

We were staying in Seomyeon and looking for a relaxing green space. Busan Citizens Park was a wonderful surprise. This huge modern park is made with community-focused design principles, meaning that there are heaps of different spaces for walking, relaxing and socialising. The information booths have maps in a number of languages - there were no English maps on display, but they are available if you ask the staff. We spent 1.5 hours here.
