PhotoHunt - Two
August 17th, 2007 Posted in Photo Hunters
It is a pair of cute turtle statue, and the picture was taken in Yongdusan Park, Korea. The two little turtle statues just matched with the theme of PhotoHunt this week, TWO. Yongdusan Park is a favorite rest place of the citizens in Busan, Korea. It is situated on Mt. Yongdusan, which was formerly known as Mt. Songnimsan. When you reach up there, you can see a lot of senior citizens walking around, talking and resting there. It would be a nice place for the city folks to rest their mind and relax themselves after having a busy day.
Besides the turtle statue, there are some major features you can visit in the park listed below:
- A statue of Admiral Yi Sun-shin
- A memorial tower commemorating the April 19th student uprising
- A stele containing the National Charter of Education
- A flower clock
- 120 meter-high Busan Tower
This would be the 120m-high Busan Tower, located at the heart of Yongdusan Park. You can enter the tower but you need to pay for the entrance fee. You can have a full view of downtown Busan City, it is awesome and the panorama of the entire city looks great. Want to catch more on Yongdusan Park? Feel free to visit the following web site:
