Top Attractions & Tips For Songdo Beach
Songdo Beach Busan
Songdo Beach & Songdo Cloud Trails (Cloud Walk)
We started our day by visiting Songdo Beach first thing in the morning! The beach itself was so peaceful, and was not as busy as the popular Haeundae Beach.
You can walk over to the Songdo Cloud Walk for a great photo opportunity of the windy skywalk with cable cars gliding over the picturesque coastline in the backdrop. There is no charge to walk across the cloud walk and is located right beside Songdo Station where you will catch the Busan Air Cruise!
Busan Air Cruise
The Busan Air Cruise entrance is located a 5-minute walk from the Songdo Cloud Trails. We recommend arriving before Noon as peak traffic time increases as the afternoon progresses.
Busan Air Cruise Ticket
Once you’re inside the air cruise station, make your way to the ticket counter to scan your pre-booked ticket barcode and then make your way upstairs using the escalators to the cable car loading dock.
Cable Car Cabins
There are two different types of cable car cabins that make up the 39 cable cars that run from this station.
Where does the Busan Air Cruise take you?
After boarding the Busan Air Cruise, you’ll embark on a 1.62 km cable journey from Songnim Park in the east of Songdo Beach to Amnam Park in the west. You will glide at heights reaching 86 meters and take in breathtaking views of Songdo Beach, Songdo Beach Cloud Trails, and the Namhangdaegyo Bridge.
How Long Does the Busan Air Cruise take?
The distance from the starting point at Songnim Park to Amnam Park takes approximately 15-20 minutes which is fantastic to observe all the beauty, and take beautiful photographs from the sky!
Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge
After arriving at Amnam Park, we strolled for about 5 minutes to reach The Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge. It’s a cherished Busan landmark with deep spiritual roots and stunning architecture. You will come across a ticket office where everyone will pay 1,000 KRW cash to enter the bridge. The elevation of the suspension bridge spanning across to Dongseom Island provides an incredibly picturesque photo opportunity! After enjoying your time at the suspension bridge, you can take the Busan Air Cruise back to Songnim Park. The initial Busan Air Cruise ticket you purchased includes the return ticket!
