Hwangnyeongsan Observation Rest Area
Hwangnyeongsan Observation Rest Area Overview
Hwangnyeongsan Mountain Observation Rest Area is a viewing and resting space set up on the mid-slope and summit of 427 m-high Hwangnyeongsan Mountain, a landmark where you can enjoy an open panoramic view in all directions from the top of Hwangnyeongsan, which is visible from anywhere in downtown Busan. It is especially famous for its view overlooking Haeundae and Gwangalli at a glance.
Looking east from the rest area, Haeundae Beach, Dalmaji Hill, and the skyscrapers of Marine City unfold in a panorama. To the south, Gwangan Bridge and Gwangalli Beach come into view at a glance, and on clear days you can even see Tsushima Island. At night, you can enjoy everything about Busan's night view from one spot.
You can drive up Hwangnyeongsan Mountain to near the rest area, making it a popular drive-date course. As you climb the winding mountain road, the unfolding panorama of Busan makes you forget the fatigue of driving. Walking up along the hiking trail takes about 40 minutes.
You can enjoy azaleas and cherry blossoms in spring, night views with a cool breeze in summer, city panoramas framed by autumn foliage in fall, and romantic scenery combining snowy landscapes and night views in winter.
