Taejongdae in Busan - 태종대(부산)



Taejondae is one of Busan's most famous tourist attractions. It is known for its rock beach with its highest peak at 250 meters and forests of 200 varieties of trees.

Taejondae was named after the 29th Sila Kingdom, King TaeJong Mu-Yeol (604-661). It is said this is where King Taejong enjoys shooting arrows the most among the many places he had traveled to.





Under the lighthouse, there is a resort called Sinseon rock which was named after the myth that gods and goddesses came down here to relax. There is a rock figure here called Mangbuseok, named after the story of a woman who waited for her husband who had been to Japan.
