봉래산

This guide to Bongnaesan in Busan starts with a mountain barely 395 meters tall that sometimes vanishes entirely from view, wrapped in a fog sailors call the mountain's hood. It traces the name back to Penglai, a mythical Taoist island of immortals, and asks why anyone named a cold, fog-swallowed summit paradise. You'll hear about the TV towers and a small radio station that once broadcast from this same misty ridge. Follow the cypress-lined boardwalk to the stone marker at the top.
