Hwangnyeongsan Mountain, where the observatory is located, is in the center of Busan as it spans across four districts (Busanjin-gu, Yeonje-gu, Suyeong-gu, and Nam-gu) and is a popular driving course in spring when the cherry blossoms bloom along the road. The Hwangneyongsan Observatory also makes it a perfect place for a night tour. A city that lies below the mountains looks even more beautiful with the cozy lights that illuminate the observatory and the sparkling radio tower.

Oryukdo Skywalk (오륙도 스카이워크)

8.4Km    2025-04-15

Oryukdo Skywalk is located at what was called Seungdumal, meaning a saddle, due to the shape of the point. It was also called Jallokgae by residents and female divers in the area.

The construction of Oryukdo Skywalk began on September 12, 2012, at the Seungdumal area, which is regarded as the dividing point between the East Sea and the South Sea, and the skywalk opened on October 18, 2013, with the theme of "walking over the sky.”

Iron columns were set up over a 35-meter-high coastal cliff, and a 15-meter glass bridge comprised of 24 glass plates and shaped like a horse’s hoof connect the iron columns. The glass flooring was made by four layers of 12-millimeter glass panels coated with a bulletproof film for a total thickness of 55.49 millimeters, making the structure quite safe. Visitors will be thrilled with the view of the waves while looking down through the transparent floor. The sea stretches out ahead of the skywalk, perfect for a photo op.

Oryukdo Sunrise Park, situated in the Yongho-dong area of Busan, offers a breathtaking view of the vast sea, especially in spring when the fields are covered with daffodils and canola flowers. Oryukdo Skywalk, a 15-meter-long glass bridge above the sea, provides the best view of Oryukdo Islets. This is also the place where the East Sea and the South Sea meet, known as Jallokgae or Seungdumal. Visitors can find a signboard below the skywalk marking the point where the east and south sea meet. From here, the Haeparang Trail stretches 770 kilometers along the East Sea and Namparang Trail stretches 1,463 kilometers along the South Sea.
