Whether you are looking for some pleasant day hikes (in the middle of Busan) or some serious technical rock climbs (there are sport and trad crags, multipitch ridges and bouldering!) this is a nice "getaway" in the middle of Korea's second city. The main hiking (on an exposed ridge) can be cold if there's a wind, but there are several... More

I took a Busan City Tour, and we spent 50 minutes getting up and back and 10 minutes on top. So if you go, you really need to spend more time. All I can report on is the view from the cable car, which I suppose is exciting for some visitors. You can see the whole of Busan spread out... More

I brought my family there (two kids age 11 and 14) for hiking in October. The weather was very nice and it was around 20-22 degC even though it was in October. We took a taxi from Busan downtown to the Beomeosa Temple. It takes around 30 min and costs KRW 20.000. You can walk up into the temple area... More

I enjoy hiking and found Busan's Geumjung Fortress to be a perfect escape from the city bustle. There are many walking paths to choose from, small ponds and forests, as well as convenient facilities like restaurants serving makguksu noodles (welcome on a humid summer day). Take the cable car up or bus it to Beomosa temple first.

Wow. it was just a accidentally visit, but the most unforgettable place in my Busan tour. We caught the cable car from the main entrance, wow, while raising up, nice to enjoy a over view of Dongnae Hot Spring Zone Due to suburb, we kinda lost our way. Had a hard time to get our way to East gate, or... More

This is one of our favourite activities of our recent first visit to South Korea, we started our day by heading to the supermarket after leaving the hotel to stock up on a few supplies for our intended half day of hiking. We caught the subway over to Beomeosa Temple subway station and caught a taxi to Beomeosa Temple, after... More

We were on a cruise along the southeast asian coast, and this hike was just such a welcome break from the normal touring (walking, shopping eating) that we did at every other port. We weren't exactly sure how to get there, but just took the main subway/train north, and were able to get there with no incident by just looking... More

We rode the cable car, then went for a hike (it was very easy going) to a small town on the mountain and had a feast of locally grown duck and goat. It was amazing and we really felt like we had earned the lovely meal after the stroll.

This used to be a large fortress but unfortunately as with many places in Korea it was destroyed during the Japanese occupation. The gates have been restored and you can walk along the fortress walls. It is is easy to get to via the cable car and an entire day can be spent hiking along the fortress walls.
