Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Quiet and Serene Place to View Busan

Feb 2023

Nice little place to take a good view of Busan. Recommend to go during the evening to see the sunset. Equipped with a mini monorail that brings you both up and down the steep slope. Cool cafes beside where you can sit by the balcony to watch the sunset.

Cool place to visit

Mar 2017 • Family

This attraction spot is not being discovered by many but I would recommend others to visit this place at least once if you are in Busan! It's not too far from Busan Station. The stairs are very steep and may take some time to climb up. After about 40 steep stairs, you will discovered another 168 stairs. Feel tired climbing up the stairs? Don't worry! They provide free tram service, this service was specially made for the residents who stay there but tourists are welcomed to take a free ride too. Skip climbing the stairs and enjoy the ride. Beautiful scenery/view of Busan can be seen at the view point as well.

Unique, and in an interesting area.

Dec 2021 • Family

It's an old, giant staircase in an interesting area, with a tiny monorail next to it. The view from the top of Busan is excellent.

It's charming in a way that's hard to describe.
