As bleak wind wraps the sea, the autumn waters rock back and forth as romantic waves. Haeundae, Gwangalli and Gijang are considered the most famous vacation spots of Busan but “Songdo,” located at the southern tip of the city, is rising as a romantic travel site for the fall season. From Amnam Park with its gorgeous and blue seascape to Busan Air Cruise crossing over the waters and Songdo Beach known as Napoli of the East! Let’s go on a one-day trip to Songdo.

Amnam Park

Amnam Park is one of Songdo’s landmarks from which the gorgeous scenery of the blue sea is viewed through a thickly wooded pine forest along a narrow trail. Consisting of steep rocks and cliffs forming unique shapes, Amnam Park features observation decks and benches throughout the park to allow people to enjoy the beauty of Songdo sea that spreads out like a painting. It is a great place to trek for about an hour while feeling the cool sea breeze.

Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge

Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge connects Amnam Park and Dongseom, a small uninhabited island across the sea from the park. The floor is made of wire mesh, which gives you a thrilling feeling as if you are walking over the sea. The circular trail, which continues along Dongseom, offers a panoramic view that contains the refreshing scenery of Songdo sea, beautiful landscape built by rocks and cliffs, and the colorful cable cars flying through the sky.

Busan Air Cruise

Take a ride on the Busan Air Cruise if you wish to see the wide open view of Songdo from high in the sky. I can assure you that this cable car is like no other you have rode on so far. The cable car brings fearful excitement and heart-pounding thrill as it glides over the sea at a height of 86m. But the fear is short-lived! You will soon find yourself in awe at the vast sea under your feet.

Cloud Trails

How about strolling over Songdo sea that has turned even bluer along with the refreshing autumn wind? You can do so on Sky Walk Cloud Trails that connect the mainland and Geobukseom Island east of Songdo Beach. As you walk along the wooden deck trail with its smooth curves, you will be able to enjoy various sculptures that embody different scenes of Songdo. For a moment, you may feel sentimental while watching the transparent waves rocking back and forth from under your feet.

Songdo Beach

By the day’s end, the sun sets and city lights start to turn on one by one. This is when Songdo Beach falls into a state of ecstasy. The darker the sky and the sea become, the more colorful and bright the lights of Cloud Trails and Busan Air Cruise glow to fill up the night sky. The sunset here is a harmony of the sea, island, mountain and city. This may be the nightscape that you can only find in “Songdo,” the romantic travel spot of Busan.
