Located at the southernmost tip of Yeongdo Island, 9.1 kilometers along the shore after crossing Busandaegyo Bridge, Taejongdae Recreation Area spans 1,632,809 square meters and is densely covered with more than 120 species of trees, including black pines. Its highest peak rises 250 meters above sea level. Towering cliffs, dramatic rock formations, and sweeping views of the Korea Strait make Taejongdae one of Busan’s most spectacular destinations, luring travelers from Korea and abroad.

On clear days, Tsushima Island in Japan, 56 kilometers away, can be seen from Taejongdae. Because Taejongdae functioned as a military fortress for many years from the Japanese colonial era onward, public access was restricted for an extended period. In 1967, the Ministry of Construction and Transportation officially granted Taejongdae Recreation Area status. It was subsequently recognized as a Tourist Attraction in 1969, as Scenic Site No. 17 on November 1, 2005, and as a National Geopark on December 6, 2013.

Overlooking Busan, Hwangnyeongsan Mountain is a popular vantage point for taking in the city, particularly at night. In 1422, during the reign of Sejong of Joseon—when Busan was called ‘Dongnaebu’—a beacon was erected at the summit as a military communication post. Hwangnyeongsan Mountain is also noted for its Orbicular Gabbro (Natural Monument No. 267), which was formed when magma cooled deep underground.

The name ‘Osiria’ derives from ‘Orangdae’—a picturesque coastal spot—and ‘Sirangdae’—a landmark associated with the love story between the Dragon God’s daughter and Monk Mirang—both within the complex, together with the suffix ‘-ia,’ commonly used to denote a place. It also plays on the Korean phrase for ‘Come to Busan.’ Osiria Tourism Complex Amusement Park is anchored by Lotte World Adventure Busan.
