Booking
KKday sells a day tour from Busan that includes a Tongyeong Cable Car ticket, along with Skyline Luge rides and Dongpirang Village.
The Tongyeong Cable Car climbs Mt. Mireuksan on a 1,975 m, Swiss-built bi-cable system. Its 47 eight-seat gondolas circulate continuously at about 4 m per second, so there's little waiting and the ride to the top station takes around 9 minutes. Only one support tower stands along the line, which keeps the ride smooth and the impact on the mountain light. Pets can ride too, since the cable car went pet-friendly.

Tips
- Avoid the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month, the regular closing days.
- Skyline Luge Tongyeong is just down the same road (178 Balgae-ro), so the two pair easily.
