Oryukdo Islets, which is well-known as one of the most beautiful islands in Busan, refers to a group of rocky islands off Yongho-dong, Nam-gu, Busan. It has been designated as Busan National Geopark in recognition of its geological value: rock formed through volcanic activities 80 million years ago. In addition, it is a marine sanctuary, where protected marine creatures live, and also state-designated cultural heritage.
Visit the Sunrise Park if you want to enjoy the unobstructed view of Oryukdo Islets. As you climb up the hill above the parking lot, you can enjoy the panoramic view with a cool sea breeze. The presence of ecological wetlands, trails, pavilions, and benches makes it a perfect spot for a picnic.
Skywalk, built on the edge of cliffs of unique rock formations, always teems with the laughter of visitors who want to enjoy the thrill of looking down at the sea through the glass plates under their feet. If you want to take a closer look at Oryukdo Islets on the sea, go on a cruise.

Haeundae Beach Train Line: Mipo Station – Dalmaji Tunnel – Cheongsapo Station – Cheongsapo Daritdol Observatory – Gudeokpo Port – Songjeong Station
Located at the eastern end of Haeundae, Mipo is also the site of Haeundae Beach Train’s Mipo Station. This beautiful port boasts a great view of the contrast between the skyscrapers of Haeundae on one side and the lights from the small fishing boats lining the coast on the other. Take slow steps to the Mipo Blueline Park square. “Blue Line” is the official name of Haeundae Beach Train. From Mipo Port to Songjeong, the entire trail is decked out in wooden platforms. Some staircases lead you around the coastal cliffs to an amazing view of the sea. Seeing Haeundae from Daritdol Observatory gives a whole new vibe to the district’s skyscrapers. Dalmaji Tunnel, once painted with a whitish gray, now features different colors.
These signposts lead you through Busan Green Railway while letting you know your current location on the trail and the remaining distance to the next section. An old-fashioned beach train runs by the trail at a leisurely pace, bringing the mountains and the seas together to create unique scenery. Cheongsapo Port’s view is completed by the sharp contrast of red and white from the Twin Lighthouses, the blue sea, and the sky. If you’re feeling brave, walk on the transparent Daritdol Observatory, and watch the waves striking the rocks far below.
The second half of the walking trail is made up of the Gudeokpo–Songjeong section. If you’re walking all the way from Mipo Port, you might have to rest your legs a bit. There are plenty of spots for you to take a breather and enjoy the sight of the sea all the way to the horizon. Slightly further is Jukdo Park at the end of Songjeong Beach, which would be a great place to wrap up this walk. If you’re lucky enough to arrive during sunset hours, you can enjoy an unparalleled view of the sunset descending into the sea.
