Orangdae Park (Korean: 오랑대공원) is a park in Sirang-ri and Yeonhwa-ri in Gijang-eup, Gijang County, Busan, South Korea. It has also gone by the name Mirangdae (미랑대). It is open at all hours and year-round.[1][2]
It is reportedly unclear when it first became a park. The origin of its name is also reportedly uncertain; there's a theory that it may have descended for a word called orangkae, synonymous with "barbarian", due to historical foreign invasions. Its total area is 17,334 m2 (186,580 sq ft). It is along the coastline of Busan, and has sheer cliffs and a wide flat lawn. It has a walking trail for visitors.[1]
It is located near a Buddhist temple called Haegwangsa that was constructed in 1941.[1][3] Regulated camping is reportedly possible in the park.[3]
