    Spanning 4.8 kilometers, Haeundae Blue Line Park extends from Haeundae Mipo, passes through Cheongsapo, and ends at Songjeong. This park features a makeover of an old railway track that now serves as a tourist coastal train route. Hop into a pastel-colored capsule, a four-seater pod that floats 7 to 10 meters above the ground for visitors to enjoy an elevated view. The whimsical design and slow pace make it a favorite among couples and Instagrammers—don’t miss your chance to snap dreamy shots of the Sky Capsule train as it winds along the cliffs.
