About this audio guide
This guide to Orangdae in Busan starts with five young noblemen said to have climbed this rock ledge in the seventh century to drink wine and listen to the sea, the story behind the name. It follows what came after: fishermen who built a small altar here to pray to the Dragon King before every launch, and the modest temple raised behind the cliff in 1941. Along the way it traces how a free view came to sit beside a very different kind of coastline nearby.
