암남공원

This guide to Amnam Park in Busan starts with a startling encounter on the cliffside trail: a full sized animatronic dinosaur, head swinging toward the water. From there it traces how this stretch of coast spent most of the last century sealed off as a military zone, closed even to local fishermen, before its release in 1996 and the district's decade-long decision about what to make of it. You'll hear about the fourteen sculptures now scattered through the cliffs, a suspension bridge, and a small blue eyed figure in a scarf borrowed from Saint Exupery's fable. Stand at the cliffside rail overlooking the Korea Strait for the best view while you listen.
