"This winter, explore Busan Geopark Dolgeo (GEO)!"

Earth Time Travel with a Geopark Guide! Stamp Tour.

Busan City is operating the "Earth Time Travel with Geopark Guides! Stamp Tour" until December 31.

This event was organized to promote the value of Busan National Geopark and to raise citizens' interest in Busan National Geopark.

Busan National Geopark is an urban-type geopark, certified as a geopark by the Ministry of Environment in 2013, and operates 12 geological attractions.

Located in a marine city with natural scenery encompassing the sea, mountains, and river estuaries, Busan preserves its unique charm and the Earth's history, allowing visitors to experience diverse and distinctive natural heritage.

The 12 geological attractions include Nakdong River Estuary, Mowoondae, Dusong Peninsula, Dudo, Songdo Peninsula, Taejongdae, Oryukdo, Igidae, Jangsan, Geumjeongsan, Baekyangsan, and Gusaengbanryeoam.

The stamp tour involves visiting major geological sites of Busan National Geopark such as Nakdong River Estuary, Taejongdae, Igidae, Jangsan, Geumjeongsan, and Gusaengbanryeoam, participating in the "Earth Time Travel with Geopark Guides" commentary program, and then collecting stamps provided on-site to receive a small souvenir.

The commentary program can be reserved in advance through Busan City's integrated reservation system, and on-site registration is also available.

Souvenirs will include postcards featuring Busan's excellent geological attractions and reusable bags.

Additionally, to enhance understanding and interest in the geopark, various geological education programs will be held at the Busan National Geopark Information Center (Amisan Observatory) seminar room on the first floor.

Main programs include eight indoor experience programs such as "Moving Earth Time Travel," "The Jewelry Box of My Heart," "Sedimentary Rock Making Experience," "Dinosaur Fossil and Excavation Experience," "Volcanic Eruption Experiment," "Insect Fossil Excavation Experience," "Rock Breaking," and "Dinosaurs in Busan?" These will be held 32 times from December 2 to January 21 of next year.

Detailed information can be found on the websites of Busan City and Busan Geopark.

Lee Geun-hee, Director of the Environmental Policy Office of Busan City, said, "Despite being a large city, Busan has geological sites distributed throughout the city that encompass rivers, mountains, and the sea, possessing excellent geological diversity." He added, "We expect this stamp tour to be an opportunity to remind citizens once again of Busan's outstanding natural scenery and geological sites, and we ask for much interest and participation." He also urged, "At the Busan National Geopark Information Center, we will present various educational programs that make the somewhat difficult and unfamiliar field of geological science easy and fun to understand, so we ask for the interest of many students and parents."
