Geumgang Park (금강공원)
Geumgang Park has seen better days
I went to Geumgang Park in Busan, South Korea in order to eventually make it to the fabled Seokbulsa. The park looked substantial at the gate. There were several employed men of the park standing around talking with each other. I asked them where I could find the cable car and they ignored me. Maybe they would understand the word ropeway? They scowled at me and kind of looked in a direction which I proceeded to follow. The park looks like it was once thriving, but perhaps they stopped maintaining it once they removed the admission fee in 2004. The rides weren’t operating and didn’t look like they had been for years.
I walked along the path with garbage and ruins on either side in order to get to the cablecar that would take me to the top. I was almost surprised to see it functioning, but I was able to go up and explore.
