At Taejongdae
park, over 200 types of trees
including pine trees and camellias line the beach and rocks of fantastic
shape surround the peak, 250m above the sea level. Taejongdae
was a place where Taejong Muyeol, the Silla king who united the
three countries to form Korea, took pleasure in shooting with a
bow and arrows surrounded by the scenery we found so beautiful.
Here is unparalleled scenery harmonized with fantastically-shaped
rocks eroded by water, surging waves, and subtropical forests. Sinseonam,
an uplifted coast under the lighthouse and the most beautiful in
Taejongdae, was formed 120,000 years ago. The present Taejongdae
was formed after the forth, that is the last, thawing epoch by the
intermittent rising of the ocean floor. Therefore the significance
of Taejongdae lies not only in its scenic beauty but also in the
natural history of Busan and its ocean.
In
times of drought, Dongraebusa, a government official, offered prayers
for rain at this place. Rain which falls down particularly on the
10th day of 5th lunar month is called Taejong rain. Located at the
southernmost tip of Busan, 9.1km along the Yeongdo coast from the
City Hall, Taejongdae as 540,2350 §³, and reaches a height of
250 m. It is complete with steep fantastic rocks and 200 stocks
of trees including beach pine, camellia, and sasrepi trees. On a
clear day you can see Daemado. A number of poets and men of letters
have visited this place. This site was declared a resort park in
1967 by the Ministry of Construction, and later, in 1969, designated
as a tourist resort. Since then it has been developed on a full
scale. The building of a circulation road of 4.3 km long surrounding
Taejongdae, started in 1970 was completed after 3 years, and
readjusted in 1974. When a Taejongdae development plan was decided on in 1973,
the resort was renovated and charged fees were introduced from 1976
on.
The
beauty of steep cliffs, breaking waves, and close forests are unequalled.
Driving along the circulation road will lead you to the observatory
and the Mother and Children Statue. You can see Oryukdo nearby and
Daemado at a distance. The coast road from the City Hall to Yeongdo
Bridge or Busan Bridge is a popular driving course. Taejongdae
is a resort favored by tourists with its fine view of Sea of Korea.
