Booking

Klook sells a winter tour from Busan that pairs skiing or sledding at Eden Valley with an evening stop for the night view from Hwangnyeongsan.

Hwangnyeongsan rises 427 m where three Busan districts meet: Busanjin-gu, Nam-gu and Suyeong-gu. KTO lists it as the second-highest peak of the Geumnyeonsan range. Locals hike it in the early morning, and couples come up in the evening for the night view over the city. Trails start from several neighborhoods, including Yangjeong, Jeonpo, Daeyeon, Mangmi and Yeonsan.
