168 Stair Monorail

The 168 stairs along 2 Bagu Trail served as a shortcut to the mountainside road and Busan Port, and as the name suggests, the number of steps is 168. Although the slope is rather steep, the red monorail that stands out from a distance is operated free of charge, so travelers can easily climb to the top. Taking photos on the stairs before riding the monorail is a must for travelers to Bagu Trail 2. When you climb up to the monorail, you can't take your eyes off the city and the seascape that slowly unfolds. Enjoy the panoramic view of Busan Port from the observatory at the summit.
