"The views were majestic, view of Busan was blending in with tropical like park. We were unlucky and went on a hottest day of the summer and although some parts were tough, we enjoyed it a lot"

"I don’t know why this hike isn’t on every top ten things to do in Busan! It’s incredibly gorgeous and peaceful and one of the best parts is greeting the lovely people you see on the trail. 안녕하세요! It does take a few hours and there are a lot of steps but you can take your time and enjoy lunch and snacks and small breaks at one of the many lookout points with benches. It also takes you all the way to the Oryukdo Skywalk, which is a wonderful experience, and where you can catch a direct bus to Jagalchi fish market, BIFF square, Gukje market, and Nampo-dong shopping area. The perfect day!"
