석불사
Another impressive temple is about 90 minutes' hike from the cable car station. It is often overlooked, but has magnificent statues carved into the mountain itself. Great views over Busan and very peaceful. From the South Gate (남문), the path indicated by the Mandeokchon (만덕촌) sign leads to a collection of restaurants and volleyball courts in Namman Village (남만 마을). At one point, the path stops at a court; walk right and pick up the trail on the other side. About 500 m down the trail look for a sign that reads in Korean 석불사 입구 (Seokbulsa entrance). You will come to a steep mountain road. Turn right and walk the road 600 m uphill to the temple.
만덕고개
Famous for its stunning panoramic night views, this pass is a favorite spot for late-night drives and photography.
Nice park at the foot of the mountains in North Busan. There are some small amusement rides for children as well. The highlight is the cable car that takes you to the top of the mountain near Namsam Gate. (Note that some signs call the cable car a 'rope way')
