Yongdusan Park

Getting around: In central Nampo-dong; walk from Nampo Station (Line 1) via the park's stairways, or take the free outdoor escalators from street level near the Lotte Department Store.
Hours: Open 24 hours as a public park.

Yongdusan Park is a hilltop green space in the middle of old downtown Busan, home to Busan Tower, a statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, and shaded walking paths that offer a break from the dense Nampo-dong shopping streets below. It's a modest park by scenic standards but valuable for its central location, easy access via escalators from the street, and the free views over the harbor even without paying for the tower.

Most visitors pass through as part of a Nampo-dong walking loop that includes BIFF Square, Gukje Market, and Jagalchi Market, rather than visiting it as a standalone destination.
