They say that Taejongdae represents Busan, as there are abundant rocky formations and beautiful blue sea. Featuring the highest peak at 250 metres, there are forest pine trees and other variation of trees. There's a story where King Taejong (601-661) traveled to many places but this was the places he enjoyed shooting arrows the most. Under the lighthouse there is this rock called Sinseon Rock which there's a rock figure called Mangbuseok named after a story of a woman who waited for her husband who had been taken to Japan. It was also said that many young koreans committed suicide on the cliff, as the country is seen to be rather stressful. It was a really slow and easy hike up, by taking the train to different tourists attraction points and end with the entrance. 

The weather is quite hot, and surprisingly I wore only 2 layers with a scarf and a inner wool wear. But damn my hands are really freezing from the wind coldness.

I guess that's one of the suicide cliff! The view is gorgeous and I highly recommend you to just sit there and chill, watching the sea waves crash.

While going down, there's a few seafood stores with ajumma selling big clams, some sea cucumber etc. If you are game for a adventure then you should try it!

Sitting at the ledge and watching the view.

They have cornered off all the areas to prevent people from crossing. It can be quite dangerous as some rocks can be quite slippery.

All the glorious seafood!

Cafe.

The beautiful scenery overlooks the city far behind!

So we ordered spicy pork with all the sides. It was quite a great meal.

Back to Busan

Back to those christmas nights walking back to hotel.
