About
Head to Busan Meteorological Observatory for a pleasant stroll on a breezy day. In 1934, the observatory was relocated to the foot of the highest region—Bokbyeongsan Mountain. Resembling a ship sailing toward the vast sea, the observatory preserves the characteristics of modern structures during the Japanese rule. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) selected it as a “100-year-old observatory.” Don’t miss the view overlooking Yongdusan Park, Busan Tower, and the Namhangdaegyo Bridge.
