Day 2: Mongsil Jongga Dwaejigukbap (Gamcheon Culture Village Main Branch) → Jungang Park (formerly Daesin Park) → Forest Café (Daesin Park Snack Bar) → Daejeo Eco Park

Spend a slow, two-day escape in Busan, where the city is brushed with autumn colors.
Wander through tree-lined urban trails, quiet forest paths, and peaceful parks—letting the season’s calm settle in as your autumn walk begins.

Day 1

Daecheon Park

Nestled at the foot of Jangsan Mountain, this tranquil park blends a serene lake with surrounding forest, making it a cherished hidden retreat for Busan locals.
At its center lies Daecheonho Lake, which takes on a different kind of beauty in autumn. Maple and ginkgo trees blaze in shades of red and yellow, and when their reflections on the still water create a scene reminiscent of a watercolor painting.
The lake also connects to the trailhead of Jangsan Mountain, offering a peaceful pause before your hike, accompanied by the soft crunch of fallen leaves beneath your feet.

Daecheon Park

Address : 331-18 Jangsan-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan
Transportation : From Exit 12, Jangsan Station → approx. 25 minutes on foot / From Exit 1, Sin Haeundae Station → approx. 20 minutes on foot

Jangsan Mountain

Starting from Daecheon Park and following the ridge upward, you’ll soon feel the charm of Jangsan Mountain, where city and nature merge seamlessly. The trail is well maintained, making for an easy walk—and with fallen leaves drifting around you, it’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in the autumn season.

Before you reach the summit, you’ll come across Jangsan's expansive silver-grass field—one of the mountain’s autumn photo spots. You don’t need to hike all the way up to enjoy the view; sunlight spilling over the swaying silver grass already creates a picture-perfect scene.
If you continue past the field, it takes about 40–50 minutes to reach the top. From the summit, Busan unfolds beneath you in full autumn color, with Gwangandaegyo Bridge and the Haeundae shoreline stretching out in the distance. Keep in mind that the summit lies within a military zone and is only accessible from 10:00 to 15:00, so it’s best to plan your visit accordingly.

Haeundae Somunnan Amso Galbijip (Grilled Beef Ribs)

After your hike, make your way to Haeundae Somunnan Amso Galbijip in Jung-dong for a well-earned meal. This long-standing restaurant, in the same location since 1964, is beloved for its tender, richly flavored beef ribs and marinated galbi. The fresh ribs are especially popular and sell out daily, so arriving a bit early—or booking ahead—is a smart move.
The meat is grilled on a flat, hotpot-style pan, and many diners finish the meal by adding gamja-sari, springy potato noodles cooked right in the remaining juices. It’s the perfect, comforting way to end a day on the mountain.

After a long hike, there’s no better place to unwind than this all-in-one spa and jjimjilbang near Haeundae.
Inside, a variety of themed sauna rooms—like the red clay room, salt room, and maekbanseok stone room—helps ease away the day’s aches. One sauna, with floor-to-ceiling windows, looks directly out to the ocean, offering a serene moment as you warm up.
Outside, the Cheongsudang hot-spring pool lets you soak under the open sky, with the Haeundae coastline stretching beside you. Sitting in the warm water as a gentle breeze passes by effortlessly melts away hiking fatigue. There’s also a dry sauna with ocean views and an outdoor foot-bath walkway, where you can massage your feet while enjoying the scenery.
It’s a comforting way to loosen tired muscles, calm your mind, and end the day on a warm, peaceful note.

Day 2

Mongsil Jongga Dwaejigukbap (Gamcheon Culture Village Main Branch)

How about starting the second day of your Busan trip with a warm bowl of gukbap (rice soup)?
Located right at the entrance of Gamcheon Culture Village, Mongsil Jongga Dwaejigukbap is a local favorite, known for its rich broth and comforting, clean flavor.
The pork bone soup is simmered for hours, resulting in a deep yet balanced taste that isn’t too heavy for breakfast. Made with premium Korean pork, the meat is tender and free of any strong odor, while the accompanying kimchi and radish kimchi perfectly complement the broth. Opening at 9 a.m., it's an easy and convenient first stop to kick off your day.

Jungang Park (formerly Daesin Park)

In the heart of downtown Busan, there’s a place where autumn colors take over the city blocks—Jungang Park (formerly Daesin Park). The name may have changed, but to many locals, it’s still simply "Daesin Park."
Spanning the hillside of Daesin-dong, the park offers a wide green space where the air feels instantly different the moment you step inside. The old reservoir, once a vital water source, is now a quiet retreat surrounded by tree-lined paths glowing with fall colors. Sunlight filters through a dense grove of cypress trees, blending beautifully with the autumn foliage—scenes you won’t want to miss.

Forest Café

As you make your way through the park, you’ll come across a small, cozy spot along the trail—Forest Café, the park’s own little snack bar. True to its name, it feels like a little hideaway in the woods. Surrounded by cypress and cedar trees, it’s the perfect place to pause and catch your breath.

The café serves fresh 100% carrot juice, spicy seafood chive pancakes, tofu with stir-fried kimchi, and a few other simple dishes—ideal for a light snack or a quick break while taking photos. With the autumn sun filtering through the trees, the crunch of leaves underfoot, and the scent of the forest all around, a glass of freshly pressed juice makes your walk feel even more refreshing.

Daejeo Eco Park

For the final stop on your second day in Busan, head to Daejeo Eco Park.
One of five ecological parks along the Nakdonggang River, this area is part of the Nakdonggang Estuary Migratory Bird Habitat—Natural Monument No. 179—and serves as a seasonal resting place for countless birds. Its wide grasslands and wetlands offer a rare pocket of nature within the city, making it a beloved spot for Busan residents as well.
In autumn, the park transforms into a soft blend of pink and silver. Fields of pink muhly, pampas grass, reeds, and silver grass sway together in the breeze, creating a truly stunning landscape. A slow walk along the trails leads to sunset views over the Nakdonggang River, with birds flying across the sky—scenes that feel almost like a painting.
Enjoy the final moments of your fall trip in Busan as the autumn wind drifts through Daejeo Eco Park.
