A full list of scenic sunrise points in Busan

Just before greeting the New Year, people first plan on a sunrise trip. Busan, surrounded by the South and East Seas and their different colors, offers diverse sunrise landscapes. The sun comes up every day in the same way, but it may look different depending on your viewing point. Let’s visit scenic sunrise points in Busan. Haeundae Beach As a world-famous tourist spot, Haeundae Beach offers an expansive sandy beach and an unobstructed coastal view. At either edge of the beach is Dalmaji Pass and Dongbaekseom Island. When the sun rises just over the horizon, the glittering light is unimpededly projected onto the skyscrapers, creating a phenomenal scene. The repeatedly incoming waves and the white sea foam splashing and crashing onto the fine sand, create a dazzling scene in harmony with the glowing red light of the rising sun. Gwangalli Beach The sunrise on Gwangalli Beach is a must-see, which colors Gwangandaegyo Bridge like a golden curtain. Gwangandaegyo Bridge shows off its grandeur across the coastal waters of Gwangalli. When the sun comes up slowly below the bridge and hangs over its top, its beauty will leave you astounded. When the sun peeks over the horizon, slowly showing its perfection, the entire Gwangalli Beach turns golden. This is so touching that you’ll be speechless. Songjeong Beach Songjeong Beach, also known as a mecca for surfing, preserves the wonders of nature because it has a relatively secluded location compared with Haeundae or Gwangalli Beach in the downtown areas. The sunrise points of this beach include Jukdo Park at the edge of the coast and the Songiljeong Pavilion in the park. When the sun rises between the rising rocks from the sea, breaking the boundary of the horizon, the silhouette of Songiljeong Pavilion creates a strange contrast with the red sky. In the early morning when a flood of golden light from the rising sun is pouring down on the beach, paddleboarders floating on the sea look exotic. Jukseong Catholic Church Jukseong Catholic Church is well known for the dazzling blue sea during the day and the night sea in pitch darkness. It’s also famous as a scenic sunrise spot for photography. Behind the building with a steeple in the shape of a regular square pyramid, the glowing red sky blends in with the surroundings, creating a breathtaking landscape. At dawn, the lighthouse, silently overlooking fishing boats, followed by a flock of sea birds, is impressively dramatic. Orangdae Park Orangdae Park is where you can enjoy listening to sea birds’ cawing out their avian song, along with the sound of the waves, standing on a rock on the seashore past the coastal trail. At dawn, the towering Yongwangdan Altar greets the rising sun. It usually has roaring waves, but when the weather is good, you can appreciate the omega-shaped sunrise above the gentle water. You can experience delicate harmony between the Yongwangdan Altar and the sunrise, and say a little prayer for calm sea conditions, or make a wish for the year.
