Busan's major urban mountain, linking fortress gates, rocky ridges, forest trails, temples and viewpoints across several widely separated entrances. A map pin is only a planning anchor, so choose a specific trail and turnaround, verify cable-car or transit service separately and check heat, rain, ice, wildfire restrictions, daylight and your return route before setting out. This catalogue page connects the stop to traveller ratings, current field reports, nearby regional anchors and sourced community corrections.

The place coordinate is exact; use the named gate, parking area or accessible entrance for the final route.
Mobility checkTrail grade, steps, surface conditions, rest points and step-free alternatives are not assumed; check the official access notice.
DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Choose one numbered route and exit
The district publishes 27 designated trail entrances with different distances, elevation changes and estimated times. Record the exact start, junctions, turnaround and transport at the end.
02
Recheck weather, fire and path notices
Continuous mountain access never overrides wildfire control, storm, heat, ice, lightning, restoration or a closed path. Confirm the Korean trailhead and emergency markers before leaving the road.
03
Protect the daylight return
Turn back at the planned time even if the peak, gate or viewpoint looks close. A saved map pin and a clear photograph do not measure remaining grade, footing or transport.
No. Geumjeongsan has many entrances and routes with very different length and elevation. Choose one published route.
Does the map pin take me to Godangbong Peak?
No. It is a catalogue anchor. Select a trailhead and confirm the signed route to any peak.
Can I rely on the cable car for the return?
Only after checking its separate same-day operation and last service. Keep a route that remains safe if it stops.
Is the mountain always open?
General outdoor access does not override wildfire, storm, ice, maintenance or emergency closures.
Are the operating details for Geumjeongsan Mountain live?
The displayed guidance was checked September 1, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.
Can a traveller correct this page?
Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

01
Before travel
Choose one numbered route and exit
The district publishes 27 designated trail entrances with different distances, elevation changes and estimated times. Record the exact start, junctions, turnaround and transport at the end.
02
At the trailhead
Recheck weather, fire and path notices

Protect the daylight return
Turn back at the planned time even if the peak, gate or viewpoint looks close. A saved map pin and a clear photograph do not measure remaining grade, footing or transport.
4. Traveler tips
Do not search only 금정산 and follow the first pin; name the official trail entrance and the return stop.
Carry water, grip footwear and a layer appropriate to the ridge even when central Busan is warm.
Leave a route plan with someone and use official emergency-location markers rather than an improvised shortcut.
Search “부산 금정산” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
Recheck weather, trail or garden closures, last entry and seasonal conditions before departure.
The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
No. Geumjeongsan has many entrances and routes with very different length and elevation. Choose one published route.
