You can see Huinnyeoul Village behind Namhangdaegyo Bridge, the starting point of Trail 4, and enjoy a magnificent view of Songdo Beach in front of the bridge. The mysterious scenery of vessels anchored in the anchorage area of the glowing golden sea in the distance is another impression presented by the bridge. Let’s relax at Songdo Beach, which is now at its best because of the skywalk, also known as cloud trails, and overwater cable cars. Then, take a walk on Songdo Coast Bollegil Trail, running along the rugged cliffs of unique rock formations. At the end of the daunting cliff, a boardwalk appears at Amnam Park, where lush woods harmonize with the blue sea. As you hurry on the way, you’ll reach Dadaepo Beach, which has been preserved in its natural state, with a spacious beach park. As you start from the Nakdonggang Estuary Embankment, travel to Galmaetgil Trail 5, encompassing Gadeokdo Island. Once you reach Yeondaebong Peak, the highest peak on the island, you can see Tsushima Island from a distance, with the beautiful coastlines of the South Sea. The small fishing village Daehanghang Port shows the natural beauty of the mountains and the sea. Moreover, the idyllic landscape blends in with the sea, creating a picturesque landscape. Jeonggeo Village features a higher quality of murals that embody the history of Gadeokdo Island. You can read the history of the island from the murals of the beautiful village facing the sea. Galmaetgil Trail 6 starts from the Nakdonggang Estuary Embankment, passes through Unsusa Temple and Seonamsa Temple via the Nakdonggang riverside and ends at Seongjigok Reservoir, where Busan Children’s Grand Park is located. And there is a new course 6-4 that runs from Gupo Station to the east gate of Geumjeongsanseong Fortress. Samnak Eco Park, where the Busan International Rock Festival takes place in summer, is an ideal venue for people to stroll leisurely or ride a bike along the riverside. Walking along the Nakdonggang River, you’ll reach Gupo Station, followed by Baegyangsan Mountain. The first temple you see on the mountain is Unsusa Temple, located on a hilltop, which has a fine and graceful figure. The Beomjongru Pavilion, which overlooks the vast Nakdonggang River, is the best part of this temple. Here, anyone is allowed to ring the bell, as people make their wishes. Seonamsa Temple features an impressive steep staircase leading up to the Iljumun Gate, the main gate of the temple. Along with the lush green woods, the large boulder served as a symbolic guard of this temple. Leaving behind Seonamsa Temple located in the mountain, head for Seongjigok Reservoir, which has a walking trail with gentle slopes. Straight, tall trees in the dense forest make you feel like you’re walking in the deep mountain. The placid lake, surrounded by all kinds of trees, looks peaceful.
