About this audio guide
This guide to Songdo Cloud Trails in Busan opens with a mystery: why the crews who inspected a storm-battered suspension bridge after Typhoon Selma in 1987 never came back to fix it. It traces the bridge's decades as the heart of Korea's oldest public beach, open to bathers since 1913, and its slow abandonment until demolition crews finally cleared the ruins in 2002. Alongside it, a cable car limped on a few more years before it too went silent, and a legend of a fisherman and a dragon king's daughter still waits on the island ahead.
