Description
Designated as a Busan monument, along with Oryukdo Island, Taejongdae represents Busan, and is especially famous for its rock beach.

Featuring its highest peak at 250 meters, there are forests of pine trees and 200 other varieties of trees.

Taejongdae was named after the 29th king of the Silla Kingdom (57 BC-AD 935), King Taejong Mu-Yeol (604-661).

King Taejong traveled to many places but this was the place he enjoyed shooting arrows the most.

Under the lighthouse of this resort is a rock called Sinseon Rock, named after the myth that gods and goddesses came down here to relax.

At this rock is a figure called Mangbuseok, named after the story of a woman who waited for her husband who had been taken to Japan.

Taejongdae is also famous for the ritual of praying for rain, performed when there are droughts, and rain on the 10th day of the fifth lunar month is called the "Taejong Rain."

On days with clear skies you can see Japan’s Tsushima Island from the observatory.
