Oryukdo Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass observation bridge perched on a 35-meter coastal cliff at Seungdumal in Busan's Nam-gu district, letting visitors walk over crashing waves while taking in the Oryukdo islets. It sits where Busan's waters split between the East Sea and the South Sea, offering wide open ocean views, and on clear days you can even spot Japan's Tsushima Island on the horizon. It also marks the starting point of the Haeparang-gil and Namparang-gil coastal trails and connects to the Igidae seaside walk, making it a popular half-day outing.

Good to know
SafetyThe structure is open at the edge of a high cliff — take extra care in strong wind and near the railings. Keep a firm hold on children and pets in case of sudden movements.
SeasonThe skywalk may close or restrict entry during snow, rain, strong wind, or maintenance. Check the weather and opening status by phone before visiting (confirm the latest).
RulesShoe covers are required at the entrance to protect the glass floor (provided free on-site). High heels and long skirts can be awkward for walking and photos on the glass surface.
MannersThe tip of the glass bridge is a popular photo spot and can get crowded, so avoid monopolizing the best spot — take your shots and make room for the next visitors.
SafetyThis is a rocky coastal cliff area — stay on the designated deck and trails. The adjoining Igidae coastal path has slippery, steep sections, so wear comfortable, sturdy shoes.
