The sea I want, it's all there. Busan Songdo Marine Cable Car

Seo-gu, Busan, Korea

If you open Facebook or Instagram some time ago, there are photos that make up social media. A sea cable car in Busan Songdo, which runs through the cool sea against a blue sky and white clouds! Even the picture alone made my stuffy chest pierced. There is a reason to go to Busan, so there is no need to hesitate. I just booked a train ticket.
The seas of Busan we know are about Haeundae, Gwangalli, and Taejongdae. Song-do? His head is smiling with a question mark. But it is reverse. The middle-aged parents' generation hit Songdo first, rather than Haeundae. Turning the time back 50 years ago, the best beach in Busan in the 1960s is the Songdo Beach. At that time, Haeundae couldn't even give out a business card, so Songdo is visible again.
Songdo Beach with fine sand and indigo sea
Songdo Beach was opened in 1913. It holds the title of Korea's first public beach. When Songdo Beach was in full swing, there were four specialties. Cable cars, bridges, diving platforms and cruise ships. The nation's greatest reputation began to fall due to environmental pollution in the 1970s. In 1987, the typhoon Selma was overwhelmed, the bridge and the diving platform collapsed completely, and the cable car stopped operating the following year.

Songdo is now regaining its glory. The cable car began to fly again, and a nice cloud trail over the bridge was placed over the sea. In the middle of the sea, a large turtle-shaped diving platform appeared, as well as a promenade along the sea that was not available in those days, making Songdo's day more full.

11:00 Walk on the sea, Cloud Trail
Songdo Beach, the superstar of the old year, was crushing at first sight. I love the dazzling blue sea and the wide, fine beaches that look like a half moon. People who plunge into the sea and are walking along the waves crashing in the white, regretting the summer going, each enjoys Songdo Beach.
A cloud trail with the sea spreading on both sides
The small island on the eastern end of the beach is Turtle Island. A cloud trail runs across the sea past Turtle Island. A shelter in the shape of a ship is decorated at the entrance, and in the photo zone of the bow, there is a lover who creates the scene of the movie Titanic. As you enter the promenade, the sea spreads smoothly on both sides. Looking to the right is the sea, and looking to the left is the sea. Even down the sea is visible. The bottom of the bridge is made of tempered glass, so the sea is soft. It is literally a scene where a miracle walks on the sea.
Taste the miracle of walking on the sea
Total length is 365m. It is a sufficient distance to enjoy the sea in a relaxed manner. Turtle Island has small attractions such as turtle sculptures, and it is good to take a break from the sea breeze. After passing the turtle island, the promenade stretches 100m towards the sea. At the end, I'm dyed to the depths of my chest.
Now it's time to go take the cable car offshore, but Mount Geumgang is also around. Not far from the Cloud Trail, there is a 100-year Songdo Alley. Inside the alley, there are various restaurants from old wheat noodles to new pasta houses.

13:00 Flying over the sea, Songdo Marine Cable Car
If you push it, it will quickly remove the subtraction and finally take the marine cable car. I was in agony for a while before riding. Riding a regular cable car or a crystal cruise with a transparent bottom. Aside from the fear of heights, I chose Crystal Cruise. After spending a lot of time in a long line of realization of popularity, I finally climbed the cable car.
Landscape 100 points excitement
"Wow ~ I'm killing the sea landscape." "It's amazing!" Gyeongsang-do's exclamation with us is not going to stop. In short, you can forget about the cable car you've taken so far.
The best feeling to carry over the sea
The cable car, which is transparent to the floor in a panoramic view made of glass everywhere, seems to burst beyond thrill. In the distance, Busan Tower and Namhang Bridge can be seen at a glance, and clouds in the sky pass by.

The moment I see the dark sea at my feet, I feel like a superman flying in the sky for a while. The scenery score and thrill score are both perfect.
Crystal cruise with transparent bottom
The Songdo Marine Cable Car boasts a total length of 1.62 km and a maximum height of the marine cable car of 86 m. The open sea scenery is the best. When you get off at Songdo Sky Park (Upper Station), there is the Skyha Version Observatory.

The view of Songdo Sea, the sky and the cable car flying over it can be seen at a glance. Songdo Doppel My World, located on the 1st basement floor, is a cable car museum where you can see the history of Songdo Cable Car at a glance. The first cable car and the latest cable car are placed side by side, and you can also experience a vivid VR experience like riding a sea cable car.

15:00 Meet the scenery of 100 million years along the sound of waves, Songdo Coastal Trail
There is a coastal walkway from Amnam Park with an upper stop to Songdo Beach. You can use a round trip, but that is why you bought a ticket one way. The Coastal Trail is a designated spot for Busan National Geopark. You can walk along the deck path and see the sedimentary rocks accumulated 100 million years ago. The sound of waves lays in the background while meeting the plump geology and admiring the open sea. It takes 30 minutes to reach the Songdo Beach, but it is difficult to resist the temptation when you meet the way down the middle and middle coast. When many ships are immersed in the landscape of the Songdo coast where they anchored, it is timeless.

There was no dazzling trail in the sea, an exhilarating cable car in the sky, and rumors that the night scene would kill him, but I pledged to the next and went home.
