Stretching 9.1km along the southern side of the Yeongdo coast, Taejongdae is
centered around a 250m-high peak and covers an area of about 1,793,025§³. There are about 200 kinds of trees -- seashore pine, silver magnolia, camellia and so on -- and sheer cliffs along the seashore. On a clear day, Taejongdae commands a view of |
| the
Tsushima Island in Japan. This place attracted attention as a resort by a Construction board in 1967 and designated as a tourist attraction by the traffic board in 1969. The 4.3km coastal road was constructed over 3 years in the early 70¡¯s. Sheer cliffs, the sound of the waves and the dense forest will make for a rewarding visit. The statue of a mother and her children at the Observation Platform sends a welcoming smile to every visitor. You can take in Oryuk Islets and Tsushima some distance away. Both of the coastal roads from the City Hall via the Yeongdo Bridge and the Busan Grand Bridge to Taejongdae are good courses to take when visiting Taejongdae by car. |
