Geumjeongsan Provincial Park sits in Geumjeong-gu, in the northern part of Busan, South Korea. It takes in Geumjeongsan Mountain, a range of forested trails and rocky peaks that rises above the city, and it is also known by its Korean name, 금정산도립공원.
What a visit offers
The park is a designated provincial park, and it is a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers in Busan. Its trails pass through wooded slopes and out onto rocky summits, so the walking is varied, and the mountain gives a welcome change of pace from the city streets below.
The park also holds cultural heritage sites alongside its natural scenery, so a day here can combine a walk with a look at the older remains set within the mountain.
