Yongdusan Park

The park is quite clean and not many people were there. Escalator was functioning going up the hill where the Busan tower is. Quite high. I think it’s like 5-6 times of the escalator size in the photo. With the escalator, the journey going up wasn’t bad and took less than 10mins. Going down is just via stairs and quite fast. Lovely place up there. Took a break on the swing enjoying the humid weather and spent a little while taking photos. Once you’re up on the hill, there’s like small colourful shops selling souveniors etc. Some were closed when we were there. Spent like about half and hour or so. Great view and it was okay if you have extra time to spend in Busan.

It is a park consisting of a small hill that passes through the entrance of the old American Cultural Center and passes through the Central Cathedral. Nearby are Daecheong-dong, Nampo-dong, Gwangbok-dong, Bupyeong-dong, Jagalchi and International Market. The Yongdusan Tower, which was completed when I was in middle school, was a landmark of Busan at the time, but now it can be said to be a place of memories. There is an escalator leading to Nampo-dong, making it convenient for the elderly to visit.

This park is large and easy to reach by subway. There is an escalator from the street up to the top, which makes it convenient for visitors. However, on the way down, you have to use the stairs.

It’s incredible that the entrance of this park is right in the middle of the street. 2/4 escalators didn’t work so there were quite some stairs to climb. The park is very clean, there are swing benches and even on the way there is an outdoor “gym”. At the top, you can find Busan tower.

Went there in the evening, but wouldn’t call it a park if that’s what you’re expecting. But lovely place to enjoy some scenery of Busan i would say.

Nice park in front of the Busan Tower ! I visited it in the evening and there was one so it was peaceful ! There is some animations with lights too !

Yongdusan Park, with Busan Tower at its center, is a great place to learn more about Busan's history. The park features several monuments, including the impressive statue of Naval Admiral Chungmugong Yi Sun-Shin and a memorial dedicated to the Korean War, both honoring significant historical events. Another highlight is the Flower Clock, which stands out with its vibrant colors. The park has a relaxing atmosphere and is definitely worth a visit!

On 24 March, 2025, our tour guide took us here, wanting us to see some blossoms. We went up by using the narrow escalator, and walked down via a road rather than the stacks of steps. Otherwise, the feeling wouldn’t be fine, as there was not much to see at the Park.
