Oryukdo Sunrise Park, situated in the Yongho-dong area of Busan, offers a breathtaking view of the vast sea, especially in spring when the fields are covered with daffodils and canola flowers.

This is also the place where the East Sea and the South Sea meet, known as Jallokgae or Seungdumal. Visitors can find a signboard below the skywalk marking the point where the east and south sea meet. From here, the Haeparang Trail stretches 770 kilometers along the East Sea and Namparang Trail stretches 1,463 kilometers along the South Sea.

Igidae Cliff is a geological park located along the southern coast of Busan. Formed by volcanic activity dating back 80 million years to the Cretaceous period, the accumulated lava, volcanic ash, and other rocks have been eroded by waves, creating cliffs, caves, and other formations.
