This two-stage escalator in downtown Busan takes you to the top of Yongdusan Mountain where you will enjoy a 17 acre park. It was formally called Songhyeon Mountain because of its dense groves of pine trees. The Japanese built temples here during their occupation (1910 – 1945). The First Republic of Korea called it Unam Park during their period of rule (1948 – 1960). After they were overthrown during the April Revolution in 1960, this scenic treasure of Busan was renamed Yongdusan Park.
