By Emma O’Flynn Ever wonder about the thing-on-the-hill above Daesindong?

A tower like structure poking above the tree line, with a Korea flag alongside it, can be seen from the neighbourhood, and even from parts of downtown Nampo. It just so happens to be a memorial park perched in one of the best spots in Busan. Set on the crest of Daecheong Mountain, Jungang Park is south facing, commanding impressive views of Nampodong, and across the harbor to the new bridge to Yeongdo. This vista helps to illustrate how Busan is carved up into sections by the mountains that have gifted the city its name.

As well as the fairly impressive Chunghon tower, the park includes a memorial statue to fallen war heroes, a sweeping driveway, and a rather grand stone stairway leading up to it. The tower itself is skirted with a pond and small jet fountains, and the centre is a perfectly cylindrical chamber, not unlike a tomb, with names of those soldiers who gave their lives in the struggle for independence.
