Cheongsapo Daritdol Skywalk

A skywalk opened on 17 August 2017 at Cheongsapo, a small fishing port below Dalmaji Hill in Haeundae. It began as a straight 72.5 m walkway out over the sea; in August 2024 it was extended into a U-shape 191 m long, with a half-moon-shaped transparent floor at the far end. The name comes from the Daritdol, five reefs lying off the shore like stepping stones. The photos show it as it was in 2020, before the extension. You walk it with your guide and take photos against the sea.

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

A temple built on the rocks at the edge of the sea. Tradition says it was founded in 1376, late in the Goryeo dynasty, by the monk Naong. It burned down during the Japanese invasions of the 1590s and was rebuilt in the 1930s; it has carried its present name since 1974. Walk down the 108 steps and the waves break right below you; cross the bridge to the main hall and the temple and the ocean fit in a single frame. There are many stairs, so wear comfortable shoes.

Busan Cinema Center

The venue of the Busan International Film Festival's opening ceremony every autumn. During the festival the 4,000-seat outdoor theater fills with audiences, and actors and directors walk in along the red carpet that runs through it. The Big Roof overhead holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cantilever roof, and at night the whole canopy glows with light. Take a photo in front of the BIFF letters beneath it.
