Since it was built in 1973, Busan Tower has been the centerpiece of Yongdusan Park and the city’s symbol. The sleek white column stands 394 feet. Its position at the 226 foot peak of Yongdusan Mountain provides a stunning view of Busan from the observation deck at 620 feet above sea level. The upper platform (baldachin) was patterned after the Dabotap Pagoda in Gyeongju, South Korea.
