Gyeongju Historic Areas Tour with Sky Capsule from Busan

This park features a makeover of an old railway track that now serves as a tourist coastal train route. Hop into a pastel-colored capsule, a four-seater pod that floats 7 to 10 meters above the ground for visitors to enjoy an elevated view. The whimsical design and slow pace make it a favorite among couples and Instagrammers—don’t miss your chance to snap dreamy shots of the Sky Capsule train as it winds along the cliffs.

First built in 1376, the attraction offers visitors the rare find of a temple along the Busan shore line, which is unlike those commonly found in the mountains.
