Founded in 1376, this temple stands out from others that are typically nestled in the mountains, as it is situated right by the sea, offering a completely different atmosphere. The temple's name, which translates to "East Sea Dragon Palace Temple," is rooted in a legend that a dragon ascended from the sea to bring divine energy to the area. One of the temple's most captivating features is the harmonious blend of the temple's architecture with the stunning coastal scenery. To reach the temple, visitors must descend 108 steps, and as they do, they are greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea. Haedong Yonggungsa is especially famous as a prime spot to watch the sunrise, with many visitors arriving early in the morning to witness the spectacular scene of the sun rising over the East Sea, casting its golden light over the temple.

At night, the bridge is beautifully illuminated, creating a romantic atmosphere that attracts many tourists and couples alike. Every Saturday evening at 8 PM and 10 PM, a spectacular drone show lights up the sky above the bridge, offering a magical experience.

From the nightly light shows to the drone performances and fireworks, Gwangan Bridge is a romantic hotspot and an unforgettable experience for tourists and couples visiting Busan!

Visitors are in for a treat as they can handpick the freshest catch and have it prepared on the spot at local restaurants, savoring delicacies like sashimi or grilled fish in the most authentic and flavorful way.
