Exploring YOLO Galmaetgil ⑨ YOLO Route 8

source: visitbusanThe YOLO Galmaetgil Trails invite visitors to experience scenic hikes along the city's natural and cultural resources."YOLO" reflects both "you only live once" and the local dialect for "come here," blending global and regional meaning. Taken together, YOLO is an invitation for visitors to experience the joie de vivre locals have: Come to Busan and enjoy life.🏃🏻‍♂️ YOLO Route 8The Nakdong Jeongmaek Trail spans 6.7 kilometers along the ridge east of the Nakdonggang River. The journey begins at Flower Village, so named for its abundance of wild blooms, and quickly leads into the wooded serenity of Gudeok Culture Park.From there, the trail climbs Gudeoksan Mountain and reaches Jaeneomi Maruteo, a key junction that guides hikers toward Seunghaksan Mountain. Along this ridge, vast fields of silver grass stretch across the slopes, creating a shimmering autumn landscape. The Eoksae Noeul Observatory rewards hikers with views of the Nakdonggang River and Dadaepo Beach.A gentle descent leads to Dangri Jeseokgol, where tree-lined paths fill the air with a refreshing scent of cedar. This route captures the harmony of Busan's mountain ridges, seasonal colors and river views in a single hike.<Today's Vocabulary - 오늘의 단어>reflect: 반영하다 regional: 지역적인 abundance: 풍요 serenity: 고요함  vast: 거대한 shimmering: 반짝이는 descent: 내리막 ridge: 산등성이Editor: Song SoomiCopy Editors: Ryu Hyoseung, Anton J.
