Where was I? (3) - Bongnaesan

Another one of those hiking trip, this time was to Bongnaesan (봉래산 蓬萊山 395m), which is located to Yeongdo (영도 影島), an island on the southern side of Busan, which is famous for Taejongdae (태종대 太宗臺). Apparently the current showing Korean TV drama Beethoven Virus has scene shot at Taejongdae.

We were there just next day after the Korea won the Olympics gold medal, thus you can see this at the top.

This particular mountain is quite accessible, not too high, but the view is stunning. You can see various Busan ports and piers from here by the Busan bay. Also, Nampodong (남포동 南浦洞) area, Jagalchi (자갈치) with Busan tower can be clearly seen as well. Another of Busan symbol, the 5-6 Island Oryukdo (오륙도 五六島) is within clear visible range. View of Korea Maritime University (국립 한국해양대학교 國立 韓國海洋大學校) looks rather cute as well.
