A sunset tour
One of Busan’s greatest charms is the combination of the sea, mountains, and rivers. With its various natural environments, Busan offers diverse sunset landscapes depending on sunset points. Amisan Observatory Let's climb up to Amisan Observatory, which provides a panoramic view of both the Nakdonggang Estuary and Dadaepo Beach. Dadaepo Beach is located at the last point where the 700 ri (about 275 km) long Nakdong River flows into the sea. Sands deposited by the river made a huge island, and the fertile land became a haven for migratory birds. Visiting Amisan Observatory at dusk, you can see the glow of the setting sun changing from pale golden color to dark red. The sky and the sea turn red, sharply in contrast with the silhouette of mountain ridges and sand islands. The phenomenal scenery of nature viewed from the observatory is out of reach, so it is fonder and more wistful. The magnificence and mystery of nature created by the boundary between the sun, the river, and the sand islands are compelling. Dadaepo Beach Dadaepo Beach, glowing golden when painted by sunsets, is always crowded with people who want to celebrate the moment. The biggest charm of the sunset at Dadaepo Beach is the spectacular unobstructed view unfolding above. It just merges into the silhouette of the mountain ridges in the distance, the boundary between the sky and the sea, and the red sun hanging over it. The trail that runs across the vast reed forest at one edge of the beach is where you can enjoy and be one with the sunset-drenched reed beds. In addition, the sunset-drenched reeds swaying in the wind make the scenery more spectacular Huinnyeoul Culture Village Huinnyeoul Culture Village may look like a rustic and plain village, but it also has its own charm. You can appreciate the warm sunset anywhere in any of the alleys facing the sea. Located on the cliff, it is well known as one of the few places where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the setting sun without obstacles. When the sun, passing through Namhangdaegyo Bridge, turns the sky red over the ridge, even electric wire and wall-mounted clotheslines become beautiful objects. Although the glow of the setting sun reflected in the calm coastal waters of Yeongdo dazzles you, you wouldn’t want to miss any moment. This is because the sunset of Huinnyeoul Culture Village creates a landscape that you’d want to hold in your heart for a long time, rather than through a lens. Eulsukdo Island The sunset of the Nakdonggang River is also a must-see. Eulsukdo Island, located downstream from the Nakdonggang River, features a calm and peaceful sunset. In winter, migratory birds in the Nakdonggang River and Eulsukdo Island add to the wonderful sunset. The reed beds and silver grass communities in the wetlands blend in with the migratory birds, all of which are drenched in the golden glow of the setting sun. Another fantastic scene is the glowing sunset slowly disappearing behind migratory birds leisurely swimming and diving into the river. What place in the world would be as peaceful as the sunset of Eulsukdo Island? Standing against the setting sun on Eulsukdo Island, you become part of nature.
