Snow-white cotton has gone down in Seoul, covering the hills, valleys, roads, and trees. Season has absorbedmost of the color of nature and scenery, leaving only white, gray and white.

Thus, we could see the hills and valleys throughout the Busan from a height. Concrete buildings grew up on a ridge, while road and rail wrapped around the foot of the hill.

The next day, we visited the Youngdusan Park, a public park that is managed very nicely. It lies behind the Napo-dong area, on top of a hill. We do not bother to climb hundreds of stairs because the stairs are the way to the top.

 
At the garden gate, the statue of Yi Sunshin Amiral Chungmoogong or standing proudly like to welcome every visitor. Highlight the eyes of the statue was pointed straight busan port area with a blue background hills. On the back of the statue lay vast plaza. Visitors flock here while enjoying views of the glittering evening light. Several pairs of lovers tether "locks of love: dip for the park, hoping love tied up to the time separating them.

By evening, the visitors climbed to the top of the tower that stood towering busan at the end of the park. From the top of the tower, we could see the city of Busan in whole, just as if we see from top of Monas Tower in Jakarta.

Busan city views that lie was so peaceful. Mist that enveloped the city makes the light was soft and romantic. To the extent that we forget, the country still at war against Kourea north since 50 years ago.
