Gadeokdo Yeondaebong

Gadeokdo is the largest island belonging to Busan, and it is estimated that people have lived there since the Neolithic Age. It is an island that has witnessed the painful history of Korea, from the Imjin War to the Japanese colonial period. Yeondaebong Peak, at an altitude of 459 meters, is a mountain that can be climbed in 2 to 3 hours. Although it is not very high and not difficult to climb, reaching the summit gives you the feeling and view of having climbed a high mountain. The gentle mountain terrain makes it suitable for light family hikes. Near the summit, you can see the sea of Gadeokdo and the Geoga Bridge at a glance. At the top of Yeondaebong, you can see the beacon fire station where fire was lit for the first time upon spotting Japanese invaders during the Imjin War. It is a place where you can feel the freshness of both the mountain and the sea.
