Songdo Park is a four-storey building where customers can enjoy the view of the woods along the coastal road during the daytime and the fantastic nightscape of the coast at night. The first floor is a galbi restaurant specializing in unfrozen beef ribs grilled with pebbles. Grilling beef with pebbles allows the fat to naturally drain away from the meat, preventing the meat from being burned on the outside while equally grilling the inside of the meat, preserving the meat's natural taste inside. The third floor is a traditional Chinese restaurant called Junggukgwan. A chef with experience at a five-star hotel offers Chinese food that has been modified to suit the Korean palate. The meals are good enough to satisfy the taste buds of gourmet diners. The fourth floor is a hoe (raw fish) specialty restaurant.

Eulsukdo Island is located 7km to the west of Busan City Hall. Located in the lower Nakdonggang River estuary, Eulsukdo Island was once the largest seasonal bird migration site in Asia, with perfect conditions for seasonal birds including a field of reeds and water plants, and ample fish and shellfish for birds to feed upon. In 1983, construction at the river's estuary submerged about half of the reed field on the island, reducing the amount of bird habitat. In 1996, the island was designated as Natural Monument #179. Despite the past environmental damage, Eulsukdo Island remains a paradise for hundreds of thousands of birds and is known as a beautiful tourist attraction around the world. It is an amazing sight to see rare species of birds like white-naped cranes, spoonbills, and white-tailed eagles as they arrive and spend the winter.
