Yongdusan Park

Yongdusan Park is on Mt. Yongdusan, which was formerly called Mt. Songnimsan. Before the opening of the port, the Japanese referred to Mt. Songnimsan as "Mt. Jungsan" and to Mt. Yongmisan as"Mt.Sosan." Mt. Songnimsan began to be called by its current name after Japanese monks who advocated the theory of geomancy built a huge shrine on the mountain and named it "Yongdusan Shrine." Major features of the park include a statue of Admiral Yi Sun-shin, a memorial tower commemorating the April 19th student uprising, a stele containing the National Charter of Education, a bust of Baeksan An Hui-je, the Victory Bugle, a flower clock and the 120 meter-high Busan Tower that commands a full view of downtown Busan City.
