Dongbaekseom Island
Although sedimentary processes connected Dongbaekseom to the mainland long ago, the island retains its original name, evoking its ancient geography. Historically, scholars like Choi Chi-won visited for its stunning harmony of sea and forest, leaving behind poems that honor its beauty. A popular walking trail circles the island, passing landmarks such as Choi Chi-won's inscription and statue, the Mermaid Statue from the legend of Princess Hwangok, and the Nurimaru APEC House. The island offers impressive panoramic views of Busan, including the Mipo coast, Dalmaji Hill, the Gwangandaegyo Bridge, and the Oryukdo Islands. True to its name, camellia flowers still bloom in abundance from winter to spring, creating a scenic atmosphere as the red blossoms fall to the ground.
