Haeundae Blueline Park

해운대 블루라인파크

A coastal park built along the abandoned East Sea Southern Line railway. Colorful Sky Capsules and seaside trains crawl along the cliff coast, making it Busan's hottest attraction.

Haeundae Blueline Park is a coastal sightseeing attraction converted from the Haeundae-to-Songjeong section (about 4.8 km) of the East Sea Southern Line railway, which closed in 2013. It opened in 2020 and quickly became one of Busan's most popular spots. It consists of two lines. The Haeundae Beach Train (Haebyeon Yeolcha) is a sightseeing train running on the original tracks. It departs from Mipo Station and passes six stations, including Cheongsapo and Songjeong. Every seat faces the sea. The trip takes about 30 minutes, and tickets start at about 10,000 won (single ride or unlimited rides). The Sky Capsule (Seukhae Kaepsyul) is a four-person car suspended 7 to 10 meters above the tracks, painted red, yellow, blue, green, and other colors. It glides slowly from Mipo to Cheongsapo, about 2 km and 30 minutes, at roughly 4 km/h. Its large windows give views of the coastline, cliffs, and Haeundae's high-rises. It's the most-photographed Busan scene on social media. Each car holds 2 to 4 people and costs about 35,000 to 50,000 won, depending on the number of riders. It runs only between Mipo and Cheongsapo, one-way or round trip. It is very popular, so reserve a time slot in advance on the official website. Weekend slots and the slots before sunset sell out first. Cheongsapo, a small fishing village along the route, has two lighthouses (red and white), a seaside stepping-stone viewing deck called Daritdol Skywalk (a glass walkway reaching out over the sea), and restaurants serving grilled shellfish and fried chicken. Walking the coastal path, Moontan Road, from Haeundae to Cheongsapo takes about 40 minutes and is also a popular stroll. Songjeong is a surfing beach. A typical itinerary is to take the Sky Capsule one way and the Beach Train back (or the reverse), stopping in Cheongsapo for seafood and the lighthouses. Getting there: take Subway Line 2 to Haeundae Station or Jung-dong Station, then walk about 15 minutes to Mipo Station. From the east end of Haeundae Beach, it's about 10 minutes on foot. Allow 2 to 3 hours. Notes: reserve Sky Capsule tickets well in advance on the official Blueline Park website or Korean tourism platforms, since on-site tickets often mean waiting for hours. The capsule cars have no air conditioning and get stuffy in summer. The Beach Train is not reserved-seat, so expect queues in peak season. The trail alongside the tracks is free, so you can walk the coast and take photos without riding.
