Hwamyeong Ecological Park Cycling
Hwamyeong Ecological Park is lined with cherry blossoms in spring and transforms with colourful foliage when autumn arrives. The park features dense trees and woodlands, creating an ideal setting for a refreshing bike ride. Visitors can pedal along tree-lined pathways that wind through the autumn landscape.
The park includes a dedicated bicycle training area separated into beginner, intermediate, and advanced courses. The tracks feature slopes and curved sections for an engaging recreational experience. Beginners who are less confident can use the flat beginner course for a secure ride.
Beyond cycling, the park contains plant gardens, walking trails, and wooden decks surrounded by greenery. Because it is situated close to Hwamyeong New Town, access is straightforward. A leisure town within the park also offers water sports such as canoeing and kayaking, allowing visitors to combine land and water recreation.
Skyline Luge Busan
For travellers seeking a faster pace, Skyline Luge Busan delivers a gravity-fuelled thrill. Originating in New Zealand 32 years ago, the luge uses a simple steering and braking system suitable for all age groups.
Before starting the descent, visitors ride the Skyride chairlift to the top of the track. The ride upwards provides views of the surrounding area. The attraction features four distinct tracks equipped with different curved sections, allowing riders to experience varied downhill paths overlooking the Osiria Theme Park and the sea.
