One of the most popular parks in Busan, located in the Jung-gu district. It's known for its peaceful atmosphere and panoramic views of the city, especially from the 120-meter-high Busan Tower, which is one of the park's main attractions. The park is named after its resemblance to the head of a dragon, "yongdu," and features beautiful walking paths, statues, and cultural monuments. Visitors often come for a leisurely stroll, to visit the tower, or to enjoy cultural events. You can also find the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a revered naval commander in Korean history, and the flower clock, which is a popular photo spot. The park is easily accessible from Nampo-dong shopping street and Jagalchi Fish Market, making it a great stop for tourists. Practical information: - The park is free to enter, though there is a fee for going up Busan Tower. - It’s open 24 hours a day, but Busan Tower typically operates from morning to evening. - The easiest way to get there is by taking the subway to Nampo Station (Exit 7) and walking a short distance uphill or taking an escalator from the street. - Expect to spend around 1-2 hours if you are exploring the entire park and tower. - Since it’s a bit uphill, wearing comfortable shoes is recommended.

Yongdusan Park, a renowned attraction in Busan, draws many visitors and proudly stands as the city's symbol. Situated atop a small hill, the park offers an upward journey either by foot or through the convenience of an escalator. One of the park's main highlights is the iconic Busan Tower, which commands attention as the central point of interest. A visit to the park allows for approximately half an hour to be spent admiring notable features such as a captivating dragon sculpture, a grand bell, and several other points of interest. Our visit in late July proved challenging due to the intense heat during the ascent of the hill; however, the breathtaking view of the city from the top of the tower made the arduous climb undeniably rewarding.

Yongdusan Park sits atop a hill overlooking the ocean and it is a place that you will need to pass through in order to reach Busan Tower. You can reach this place via an escalator at Gwangbok-dong Cultural and Fashion street. There's nothing much here except a view of the surrounding area and amenities that you would normally expect to find in a park. Benches, shelters, flowers, tress and artworks. Most people pass through this place to get to Busan Tower, me suspects, so if you're planning to visit this place, might as well drop by Busan Tower too. Can include the park and Busan Tower together in your itinerary when you're visiting the Jagalchi and Nampo area.

Paid ₩8000 per-adult to enter the observation tower, overall experience okay-ish, nothing to shout about if you've been to many different towers before, basically the entire trip compose of a photo session (have to pay of course), two layers of observation deck at the top of the tower, and a series of different backdrop theme for your own photo taking after coming down from the deck. Honestly if you're in a rush and only have 1 day to explore around Busan, I would suggest that you to skip this place.

This park comes alive at night with lots of bright lights and very pretty videos projected on the large structures. There are escalators or many steps from the streets below. On your way up, you will find some interesting temple like display. There is also a route for busses to make their way up there as well. I did not make it into the tower itself, or the build where they sell food. Guessing both would be like Seoul Tower in view and options.

To have a nice green space elevated slightly above the city was really pleasant. The tower is located at the top of the hill. I didn't climb it but the gift shops were nice distractions. There was also a perfomance on that day. There were also plenty of places to sit down and enjoy the scenery. There's a traditional pavilion, a small park with exercise equipment and a small manmade(?) waterfall at the front entrance.
