When to go

There is no weekly closing day here — you can come any day of the week.

Counting foreign visitors to Suyeong-gu, Busan over twelve weeks, Monday is the quietest day you can actually go and Saturday the busiest — a difference of about 63%. These are district-wide figures rather than a headcount at the gate, so treat them as a tendency.

This is an open area rather than a ticketed site, so there are no opening hours to work around. Early morning and late evening are the quietest.

What it costs, and what to bring

Entry is free. Nothing needs to be booked or queued for in advance.

Cards are accepted. Foreign Visa and Mastercard work almost everywhere in Korea, and contactless is normal.

Getting there

There is no subway station close by. A taxi or an intercity bus is usually the way in — show the Korean name above to the driver.
