What is Busan Diamond Tower?
Also known as Busan Tower, it was built in Yongdusan Park in Busan in 1973, and in December 2021 it will be renamed Busan Diamond Tower, a landmark of Busan, Korea, boasting a height of 120m. From the top of the observation deck, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of Busan's cityscape and scenery! There are also exhibitions such as mapping shows inside the tower, which are sure to be Instagram-worthy!

Yongdusan Park is located in Nampo-dong, downtown Busan.
The park is home to the Busan Diamond Tower mentioned above, the Flower Clock, and the Citizens' Bell, which was made with donations from Busan citizens, making it a popular tourist spot as well as a place of relaxation for the city. Take the long escalator in the park to the top and you'll arrive at the Busan Diamond Tower! The park is also home to the famous Busan Diamond Tower, so it's bustling with people all year round. The particularly large Flower Clock was built in 1973 and even has a second hand. Why not spend some wonderful time surrounded by nature at Yongdusan Park?
Stay tuned for the next episode to find out more about the mysterious friendship and journey between the main characters Seoulnam and Sia Hotteok!
