Join a personal driver for a day and see all the highlights surrounding Tongyeong City without having to worry about public transportation. This private tour brings you to the Hallyeosudo Viewing Ropeway on Mireuksan Mountain and to Dongpirang Village, famous for its colorful murals and street art.
Your driver picks you up from your hotel for a full day of exploring the region around Tongyeong City on the Goseong Peninsula. Enjoy the relaxing ride from Busan and chat with your English-speaking driver or guide, depending on which option you chose. Your first stop is at Mireuksan Mountain, one of the most beautiful mountains in South Korea, featuring an abundance of lush forests, valleys, and hidden natural treasures among its slopes.
Climb aboard the Hallyeosudo Viewing Ropeway and go soaring over the mountainous landscape below. Totaling 6,480 feet (1,975 m) in length, the ropeway is the longest in the country. Step out at the summit observatory, from which you can see as far as the Hallyeohaesang National Marine Park and Dolsando Island. Later, descend the mountain and get recommendations from your driver or guide on where to grab lunch.
In the afternoon, see Dongpirang Village, an area painted in vibrant colors and local flavor. Once an old village, Dongpirang was to be demolished and replaced with a park before an initiative in 2006 brought in artists from around the region to revitalize the area. The result was a neighborhood full of lively murals and thought-provoking street art. Before heading back to Busan, make a final stop at the traditional Jungang Market on the coast for a glimpse of local life.
