Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, connecting Jung-gu and Yeongdo-gu, was built during the Japanese colonial period. The Japanese built a bridge to connect Busanhang Port, the base for exploiting supplies, with Yeongdo Island right next to it. In 1934, on the day the first suspension bridge and bascule bridge in Busan was opened to the public, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge was packed with people from all over the country to take a look at the bridge. Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, which could be raised on one end of the upper deck, is called Yeongdo Bridge and soon became a landmark that has turned into a household name.
Yeongdodaegyo Bridge is a place where refugees in Busan congregated to in the midst of the Korean War to find some hope. Yeongdo Bridge, the landmark of Busan and the only place that refugees knew, became a union spot for people who were separated. People’s desperate wish to find separated families was engraved on faded paper and torn cloth to fill up the handrails of Yeongdo Bridge.
In 1966, when the wounds of the war began to heal, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge stopped lifting up the deck. The old bridge could no longer endure the increasing traffic, and the opening of the Busandaegyo Bridge right next to the bridge made the future of the bridge uncertain. However, the bridge was restored in 47 years, and its lifting resumed through the peoples’ efforts to remember and share the history of the Yeongdo Bridge.
This place, where refugees used to visit to find their separated families, is now a popular tourist attraction. At around 2:00 p.m., the signal is made, and the blocking curtain goes down. All the passing vehicles stop, and the Yeongdo Bridge goes up slowly.

Lotte World opened in OSIRIA Tourist Complex, Busan, on March 31, 2022. Keep going straight, and you'll find the Talking Tree right there where people gather. While telling stories, the tree blinks its eyes and moves its mouth. Behind the Talking Tree is a large square with a fountain and Lorry Castle. Lorry Castle, located past the fountain, can be considered the symbol of Lotte World.
It is also one of the Instagram spots. You can take a photo with the castle and Lorry made of flowers. A large number of family members, friends, and lovers line up to take pictures there, making it the most popular Instagram spot.
Lotte World Adventure Busan also has rides different from those in Seoul. A ride called Giant Splash is particularly popular. As people fall vertically, you can hear splashes and screams. There are also other attractions to enjoy, such as the Giant Swing and Giant Digger, so you can enjoy both riding and watching. Magic Forest Parade, Lotte World Adventure Busan's finale, is held twice a day. Especially, the last parade at night is really spectacular.
