Yongdusan Park Busan Tower

Yongdusan Park is one of the most popular parks / mountains in Busan. Yongdusan Park is known for the Busan Tower which over looks the city and the Admiral Yi Sun-Sin Statue among many other things. Another Yi Sun-sin Statue is in Seoul. During Japanese Colonial Rule, a Japanese Shrine was built on this site but is now replaced with monuments and towers dedicated to Korean War Victims, Peace in Korea and the 4.19 Revolution Movement.

During the Korean war a high number of people around Korea sought refuge in Busan thus increasing the city population enormously. Most of the available land was used to build homes and Yongdusan Park had houses covering it to the very top of the mountain. These homes were destroyed by fires in later years and the Busan Government spent a lot of time and money turing the area into a park for people to enjoy.
