Delicious food, cafes, and walks! A perfect day at Dongrae Oncheoncheon

How about taking a walk through Dongnae-gu Oncheoncheon Citizen's Park, an oasis in the heart of Busan?

When you want to take a break from your busy daily life, Oncheoncheon is the perfect place to rest. Especially now that the warm spring breeze is blowing, Oncheoncheon is at its most beautiful with colorful spring flowers.

Oncheoncheon is a stream that flows across Dongnae-gu into Suyeonggang River, and its well-maintained walking and bicycle paths make it a water-friendly space in the city that people of all ages enjoy. As you walk along the long path along the stream, the sound of trickling water and chirping birds will soothe your mind. You can take a break by sitting on the benches installed here and there, or you can use exercise equipment to lightly stretch your body.

In recent years, through continuous management and maintenance projects by Busan City and Dongnae-gu Office, Oncheoncheon has been reborn as a more comfortable and safe resting place for citizens. In particular, the cherry blossom tunnel that blooms beautifully on both sides of Oncheoncheon in spring is a spectacular sight that is famous nationwide. During the cherry blossom season, many spring visitors come here to enjoy the spring atmosphere. At night, the lights add to the romantic atmosphere.

Even outside of the cherry blossom season, Oncheoncheon shows off different charms each season. In the summer, there is lush greenery, and in the fall, there are beautiful autumn leaves, making it a great place to visit in all four seasons. Also, there is a 'Oncheoncheon Cafe Street' formed around Oncheoncheon, where there are many unique cafes, making it a perfect place to spend some leisurely time after a walk.

If you like cycling, enjoy riding along the Oncheoncheon Bike Path. The flat, well-paved path is easy for beginners to ride, and you can enjoy the pleasure of taking in the cool river breeze and the cityscape.
