Busan is Korea’s ultimate summer city, and Haeundae is one of its most iconic beaches. With white sand, clear blue water, and lively crowds, it’s a must-see. Recently, Haeundae Blueline Park has become a top attraction. This 4.8-kilometer eco-friendly railway follows the old Donghae Nambu Line, offering a scenic ride from Mipo to Cheongsapo and Songjeong with two standout experiences: the Beach Train and Sky Capsule.

The Beach Train and Sky Capsule offer completely different but equally beautiful ways to experience the sea.

The Beach Train runs from Mipo to Songjeong, gliding slowly along the coastline. Through its large windows, you can enjoy the ocean, cliffs, and waves up close. Each stop offers something unique to explore.

The Sky Capsule operates along a 2-kilometer stretch from Mipo to Cheongsapo, about 7–10 meters above ground. It gives the sensation of floating over the ocean. With space for two to four people per capsule, it’s ideal for couples, friends, or families.

Highlights of Each Station

Mipo Station
Close to Haeundae Beach, Dongbaekseom Island, and Gwangandaegyo Bridge. A great place to begin your journey.

Dalmaji Tunnel
A unique stretch where the train passes through a scenic tunnel. The quiet, enclosed space offers a nice contrast to the open sea views.

Cheongsapo Station
A charming fishing village known for the Cheongsapo Daritdol Skywalk—a transparent walkway over the ocean. You’ll also find local cafes and fresh seafood.

Songjeong Station
Located near Songjeong Beach, a hotspot for surfing and water activities. The beach is less crowded than Haeundae and has a relaxing atmosphere.

Why Visit in Summer

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the breeze, sunlight, and vivid blue ocean views. The best time to ride is before sunset, when the light casts a golden glow on the sea and surrounding landscapes.
