Busan Moontan Road and Cheongsapo Fishing Village, South Korea

Oct 9, 2021 | Nature Scene, Neighborhood, South Korea - Busan Area

Busan Moontan Road is a hiking trail near the ocean.  At the one end of the hiking trail is a tiny fishing village, Cheongsapo.

Near One of Moontan Road Hike Starting Location: 1508-9 Jung 2(i)-dong, Haeundae, Busan, South Korea
Cheongsapo Fishing Village: Jungdong 1-ro, Jung 2(i)-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea

I got off the bus at Dalmaji Road near the Moontan Road Hike Trailhead and planned to walk the remaining distance to reach the trailhead. The sidewalk along Dalmaji Road leading to the trailhead was well-maintained, providing a delightful walking experience.

The road follows the sea coast.  There is a monorail that follows the sea coast.

Kept walking on Dalmaji Road

This is the starting point of Moontan Road Trail.

One can continue walking on Dalmaji Road to reach the area where coffee shops are located, or…

Alternatively, you can follow the Moontan trail. The trail and the Dalmaji Road run in parallel, and I chose the trail.

It is a well-maintained and safe trail, even at night time, because it has sidelights.

One benefit of taking the trail than the Dalmaji Road is the view of the ocean.

The monorail is closer now and below the monorail is a train track.

Near the end of the trail, I had the option to either return to Dalmaji Road, where many coffee shops are located, or head to Cheongsapo Fishing Village. I chose to visit the fishing village and planned to stop by the coffee shop area on my way back

The train runs the coast as same as the monorail.  It is mainly for tourists.

and it has the station for both the train and the monorail.

I walked toward the ocean

It is a tiny village.

This is situated toward the opposite end of the village, offering dining areas and coffee shops catering to tourists.

I turned around and took a taxi to Dalmaji Road where coffee shops are located.
