Along the coastal road facing the wide-open Songjeong Beach in Haeundae-gu, Busan, there is a special space that goes beyond an ordinary ocean-view cafe. It allows you to enjoy traditional Korean tea and desserts as if they were pieces of elegant art. This is the fusion teahouse Suwol Gyeonghwa, bearing the romantic meaning of "Moon reflected in the water, flower reflected in the mirror."

With a panoramic view of the overwhelming Songjeong ocean and the picturesque Haeundae Beach Train passing by, this space is designed to share the authentic taste and style of Korea. Famous as a must-visit hotspot for travelers in Busan, its modern interior bursting with Oriental charm gently guides everyone to easily and colorfully experience traditional sweets and tea—which might usually feel a bit unapproachable.

📍 Location & How to Get There

Located on the 4th (and 3rd) floor of the building at 188 Songjeongjungang-ro 6beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan. You can easily find it by following the coastal road towards Gudeokpo at the edge of Songjeong Beach. The moment you take the elevator up to the 4th floor, a calm and refreshing ocean view, completely different from the bustling street outside, will immediately capture your attention.

🕒 Opening Hours
