Parks & gardens
Taejongdae
Taejongdae
Located at the southeastern tip of Yeongdo, this coastal park features a combination of dense forests, rugged cliffs, and ocean views. Visitors go here to walk along the coastline and view the horizon; on clear days, Tsushima Island in Japan is visible from the cliffs.
Getting There
From Busan city centre, the park is accessible via bus. The journey typically takes between 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and the specific starting point within the city.
Duration of Visit
Allow approximately 3 to 5 hours to explore the park. This includes time for walking the trails and using the internal shuttle train (Danubi Train) to reach the further cliffside viewpoints.
When to Visit
Visiting during the early morning or late afternoon helps avoid the midday heat and peak crowds. The park gets crowded on weekends and public holidays. Spring and autumn are generally the most temperate seasons for walking the outdoor trails.
