BUSAN / HAEUNDAE

Ride the old coast line.

Haeundae is more than its beach. Ride a former coastal railway in a Sky Capsule or on the Beach Train, step into the hall where APEC leaders met in 2005, and stay at The Bay 101 until the city lights come on across the water.

Haeundae Blueline Park

The old Donghae Nambu Line railway, reborn as a 4.8 km coastal attraction from Mipo through Cheongsapo to Songjeong. The Beach Train runs the whole stretch; the four-seat Sky Capsule glides along a 2 km track 7 to 10 metres above the shore between Mipo and Cheongsapo.
