Beautiful Forest Garden, Gudeok Culture Park
At the foot of Gudeoksan Mountain in Seo-gu, Busan, there is a pretty village called Kkot Village. Since ancient times, there have been many wildflowers here, and it was called Kkot Village because people who made a living selling these flowers lived there together. The beautiful forest garden located here is Gudeok Culture Park. The park has exhibition halls, waterfalls, ponds, flower paths, and walking paths, so it is an excellent place to feel autumn in the forest.The Way up to Siyaksan Mountain
Now let's climb Siyaksan Mountain in earnest. If you go uphill for about 10 minutes following the signpost at the top of Gudeoksan Mountain, you will reach the forest path. It's a comfortable walk along the forest path. Wildflowers are blooming along the path, and the trees are colored with autumn leaves. If you walk slowly along this path for about 30 minutes, you will come to Jaeneomi Maruteo. This is the crossroads of Siraksan Mountain and Seunghaksan Mountain, famous for reeds.Panoramic view of Siyaksan Mountain embracing Busan
On the way to the weather station, the panoramic view of the eastern landscape of Busan spreads out before you to the left. Beyond Eomgwangsan Mountain, the view extends to Haeundae Beach, Busanhangdaegyo Bridge, and Yeongdo in the distance. The best place to see this view is at Siyakjeong Pavilion. While Hwangnyeongsan Mountain's beacon fire station is a place where you can see all of Busan from the center of Busan, the panoramic view of Busan Port, Yeongdo Island, and Gamcheon Port from Siyakjeong Pavilion remains the best way to take in the scenery of Busan as it is embraced by the mountains, the sea, and the ports.The End of a Trip, 'Kkot Village Provence
Let's head back to the starting point of the itinerary, Kkot Village. It takes 2 to 3 hours to climb Siyaksan Mountain from Gudeok Culture Park and return to Kkot Village. Recently, Kkot Village has been remodeled under the name of Kkot Village Provence. Kkot Village is particularly famous as a natural resting place close to the city center, and there are many delicious dishes to enjoy here. Sirakguk (dried radish leaf soup) is the one dish you absolutely must try. Godeungeo jorim (braised mackerel and various vegetables) are served along with sirakguk. The price is very low, and the taste is good, so it makes for a delicious meal after hiking in autumn.Address
