Autumn has come to give us a season of clear skies and the cool breeze. It’s the perfect weather to travel somewhere for a nice and relaxing walk. Here are autumn destinations in Busan you can visit, which you can mark the place and start planning for a later visit.

Ttangmoesan Red Clay Trail

With its breathtaking mountains and clean water, Hoedong Reservoir is an excellent choice for a walk in autumn. Walking on the long trail along the large lake that leads visitors to the Ttangmoesan Red Clay Trail. Just follow the arrow on the mural indicating the barefoot path. As you walk along the trail, admire at the grass beds on both sides of wood decks that tell you that the autumn has come.

Take off shoes and step on the red clay trail that feels cool on your feet. Let it spread to your body and refresh your mind as the clay-like texture stimulates feet. On one side of the red clay trail extends the dense forest, boasting various species, and on the other side is the endless clear lake.

Enjoy a full view of the lake at the octagonal pavilion rest area along the trail. Here, you can relax and refresh your body and mind. There is a foot-washing area at the end of the path, so don’t hesitate to walk the Ttangmoesan Red Clay Trail barefoot.

Suyeong Historical Park

If you’re looking for a more leisurely walk, it’s a good idea to visit Suyeong Historical Park. The park is located at Suyeong-gu, Busan, and is the Gyeongsangjwa-do naval force fortress site when it was in command of the south coast area during the Joseon period. This park used to serve as a military hub. However, the fortress no longer exists, and there only remains some destruction of the military site, which includes the south gate and the arched stone wall that served as the main gate to the fortress.

A stone wall path with roof tiles creates an antique atmosphere for visitors to experience. It’s a perfect place for a peaceful walk in autumn. A big black pine tree stands at the entrance of the south gate, and it’s assumed to have been there for over 400 years. This tree is also known as a sacred protector of the soldiers of the fortress. Another ancient muku tree stands in the park as well. The tree looks magnificently split into two parts from the root and is known to be 500 years old. The majesty of the two trees is rooted in its survival to witness hundreds of years of Korean history, which compels every visitor to pay their respects.

The park may be small, but it houses important pieces of history. Slowly look around every corner of the park to learn the historical significance that this park has to offer and make your experience much more meaningful. Also located at Suyeong Historical Park is a small path along a dense green forest, where visitors can immerse themselves in the delicate scent of nature
