Neighborhood of stars
The nighttime view of Marine City, created by giant skyscrapers, is quite cyberpunk.
Tourist destinations worldwide beckon travelers with iconic views. Tsim Sha Sui in Hong Kong offers a dynamic skyline. Travelers in Singapore marvel at the Marina Bay Sands, which resembles a surfboard riding three waves.
Busan boasts its own beautiful views, especially at night. The best might be in Haeundae, the city's tourist hotspot. At night, the skyscrapers of Marine City illuminate the sky like an arm of the Milky Way reaching down from the heavens.
Marine City is a residential neighborhood that features some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. The Haeundae Doosan We've The Zenith apartment building has 80 floors and is 300 meters tall. Haeundae I'Park Marina has 72 floors and stands 292 meters tall. These residential-commercial complexes house high-end restaurants, bakeries and bars in beautifully designed architectural marvels.
APEC House has great views of Gwangandaegyo Bridge.
The illumination reflected on the water is dreamy.
■ Enjoy Marine City's night view from Dongbaekseom Island and The Bay 101
There are many vantage points to enjoy the night view of Marine City, but the best is Dongbaekseom Island, on the west end of Haeundae Beach. Walking along the promenade across the street from the Westin Chosun Busan main gate, you can see the night view of Marine City and Gwangan Bridge in the distance. The Lighthouse Plaza next to the Nurimaru APEC House, where the 2005 APEC Summit was held, is a prime photo spot, harmonizing views of Gwangan Bridge and Marine City. It is also a great place to watch the Busan Fireworks Festival, held annually in late fall.
Alternatively, visit The Bay 101, a sprawling complex located at the entrance of Dongbaekseom Island. There are restaurants, bars and cafes where visitors can eat and drink while savoring the night view of Marine City. Grab a bite, sit outside and take in the enthralling panoramic waterfront views. For an even better view, get on a yacht tour and see the sights from the water.
A warm night under bright city lights, a refreshing ocean breeze, an ice-cold beer, some fried chicken and the company of loved ones - that's about as perfect a Busan experience one can have.
