Busan: Coastal Walk Part Two

Back at the BEXCO Station where by chance we ended yesterday's walk not realizing it was a cherry blossom viewing hotspot. So I take another gazillion photos with the only difference being that it's early morning, not late afternoon. haha.










Back to following the ribbons of the Galmaet-gil (Seagull Path) walking course. Notice the stylized seagull wings on the left of the sign.

For the next 6 hours the Gwangan (Diamond) Bridge will be our constant companion and landmark.






We arrive at Gwangalli Beach.








At the far end of the beach there was a shop selling powered surfboards i.e. Jet Surf. They were very noisy, but cool. Watching them in action was mesmerizing and I did not get a decent photo, ;-( But I'm sure you can find a video online! and check out this video I took after the 2 stills.






Video link here.

And of course there was another section of cherry trees in full bloom.


Walking next to the bike path.










This person works long hours without flagging ;-). And their arm goes up and down tirelessly.






And finally a 4.7 km section, the Igidae Coastal Walk, which is comprised of paths, bridges, stairs, and viewpoints, and ends at the Orykdo Skywalk.






In this view from the Igidae Walk you can see all the way north past the Diamond Bridge to the Zenith and Sharp Towers to Dalmaji Hill (far right) where we started yesterday. Wow!




Looking south.


Hmmmm. Is that the right icon for Los Angeles? or Rome?




A carpet of jute for walking uphill. Nice.


The Orykdo Skywalk is down below jutting out a few meters over the rocks and sea.




Great views north from the Skywalk...


...although the view down to the rocks and sea is underwhelming. Good thing the Skywalk is free IMO.




Back to Seomyeon Station on Bus No. 24 which leaves every 5 minutes; just tap your T-Money card when you get on and off.


We did not see much of central Busan except for the area around Seomyeon Station. We'll have to return to Busan.
