Igidae Park – 부산 이기대


Igidae Park is located over a hill from Yongha Sewage Treatment Plant in Yongho 3-dong, the eastern region where Jangsanbong Peak faces the ocean. Jangsanbong Peak rock cliffs boasts a remarkable scenery, which can only be viewed by taking a boat as the areas nearby the cliffs are too dangerous to hike. However, the cliff at the center of Igidae is not vertically steep, but creates a 2 km long almost horizontal slope that connects the mountain with the ocean. Not only does the slope offer an extraordinary view of the ocean waves, but also serves as an excellent fishing spot. The area was used as for military operation and prohibited from civilian access until 1993.

The park, with its rugged cliffs, and lush greenery, is visited by many tourists as it is easily accessible and has a walking trail with outstanding scenery. The red camellia flowers blooming all over the park in the spring are particularly beautiful.
