Yongdusan Park용두산공원

At a glance

Yongdusan is counted among Busan's three famous hills. It was once called Songhyeonsan, for the sea glimpsed through its pines, and was later renamed "dragon head mountain" because its shape was said to look like a dragon ready to swallow raiders arriving from Japan. The park holds Busan Tower, a statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin, a statue of Baeksan An Hui-je, a bell pavilion, a flower clock and a dragon sculpture. Locals use it for walks, and the top looks out over Busan Harbor and Yeongdo.
