Its a great place to visit and surround yourself with the ocean on 3 sides in Busan. The name is Taejongdae Park. as soon as you reach there, you will see a ticketing office for the Dhanubi train. Yes that's correct, a train runs there so that everyone doesn't need to hike and walk to all the attractions. There are 3 stops to the train as you will find in the Guide Map as well. The first one is like an observatory with a cafe on top floor. The second is the famous lighthouse! The lighthouse is also coupled with the infinty light structure. The third is a Buddhist temple. You will see the Buddha's statue and very pretty flowers there. You will see the Hydrangea flowers of different colors. Dhanubi train runs in frequent time intervals so you can drop off at one spot and after roaming around, take the next train to get to the other spot. Its a natural place with the beautiful views. There is a pebble beach as well near the ticketing office that you can visit if you have some spare time. #busan #taejongdae #pebblebeach #hydrangea #temple #nature

Taejongdae is a rare destination where you can gaze at the sea from atop a cliff. The coastal landscape, featuring 100-meter-high rocky cliffs and dense pine forests, is truly breathtaking. On clear days, the view is so expansive that you can even see Tsushima Island in the distance. As you walk around, you'll find observation decks and benches scattered throughout, making it a perfect spot to take a break. The Danubi Train offers a convenient way to tour the main attractions. Especially at sunset, the sight of the sea turning crimson is awe-inspiring. It's also an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. As one of Busan's iconic scenic locations, Taejongdae comes highly recommended. 📍 Address: Taejongdae Resort Park, 24 Jeonmang-ro, Yeongdo-gu, Busan

#June Travel Support Fund If you climb the forest path leading to the peak of Taejongdae, you will see the white temple Taejongsa Temple embracing the sea. Built in 1976, this place belongs to the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. In the summer, about 5,000 hydrangeas surround the temple, transforming it into the largest hydrangea colony in Korea. The sight of the five-colored hydrangeas in light pink, blue, and purple swaying in the sea breeze creates a spectacular sight as if flowers are pouring down onto the sea. You can take the Taejongdae Danubi Train and get off at the entrance of the temple, or walk along the forest path to Taejongsa Temple. The scent of the sea permeates the path, and the shade of the forest conveys the peace of nature. The coastal cliffs and seascape behind the temple approach you like a quiet ridge created by flowers and forests. When you want to forget the busyness of everyday life, Taejongsa Temple becomes a healing space where you can soothe your mind among flowers, the sea, and the forest. 📍119 Jeonwang-ro, Yeongdo-gu, Busan

#MarchTravelSupportEvent Busan Taejongdae Taejongdowon Taejongdowon is a restaurant on an observatory, so you can see the perfect ocean view from the restaurant! The ocean is not far away, but right in front, so it looks like the restaurant is floating on the ocean. LOL Food was ordered at a kiosk. The menu had a variety of options, including tteokmanduguk, seafood ramen, and dolsot bibimbap. Address: 1st floor, 209, Observatory-ro, Yeongdo-gu, Busan #DomesticTravel

My favorite sea in Busan is Taejongdae Sea. As you can see in the picture, I think the water is the clearest and most beautiful. To see this kind of scenery at Taejongdae, you can either hike or take the ‘Danubi Train’. If you are with the elderly or children, I definitely recommend the Danubi Train. I didn’t feel it was a waste at all to enjoy such a beautiful ocean view for only 4,000 won. I ate seafood caught by a female diver at Taejongdae. The seafood, including sea cucumbers, abalone, and sea urchins, were incredibly fresh and delicious. For the finale, seafood ramen! Since Taejongdae is a very windy place, I really wanted to eat some hot ramen. #Domestic travel #Travel #Busan travel #Busan

#August Travel Support Event I rode the Taejongdae Danube Train while traveling in Busan The train schedule was set, so after purchasing a ticket at the ticket booth, I just had to line up and board in order, and the staff kindly guided me. The train schedule varies depending on the peak and off-peak seasons, so it's a good idea to check it out and plan your trip. If you want to comfortably enjoy the beautiful scenery of Taejongdae, definitely take the train!

The observatory is only visible when the weather is good, but when I went, it was so cloudy that I couldn't see anything🥲 You have to go down quite a bit to get to Yeongdo Lighthouse, so be prepared to struggle a bit to get up there! Lastly, Taejongsa Temple! Lots of pretty hydrangeas💗 Everywhere is a photo zone! #It's the best #Yeongdo #Busan travel #Busan hot place #Busan date #Yeongdo travel #Taejongsa Temple #Taejongdae #Places to visit in Busan #Busan travel course
