faq.subtitle Taejongdae Park
Yes, on clear days from the lighthouse observation deck you can see Japan's Tsushima Island — only 50 km across the sea. Best visibility in autumn and winter on sunny days.
Depends on fitness and time. Walking — full loop 4 km, 1.5-2 hours, but beautiful forest trails. Danubi Train — convenient if short on time or difficulty walking. Can combine: train one way, walk back.
Useful tips for visiting Taejongdae Park
Arrive early morning or late afternoon — fewer tourists and better light for photos. Very crowded on weekends.
Near park entrance — seafood street. Fresh grilled shellfish and octopus at reasonable prices. Local delicacy — ssambap with seafood.
Wear comfortable shoes — trails are rocky with inclines. In summer bring water and hat — little shade at viewpoints.
Sunset at lighthouse — one of Busan's best views. Park open until 21:00 in summer, but last train leaves earlier.
