# Songjeong tea café for beach train photos: Suwolgyeonghwa, Busan - By Nayeon (https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cupboard-light/) - Written Sep 6, 2026 - Local places › Cafés › Haeundae, Busan - Sponsored: This post was written after a sponsored store visit. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cupboard-light/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@busan-cupboard-light/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/index.md) ## In short Suwolgyeonghwa is a tea café on Songjeongjungang-ro in Haeundae-gu, Busan, serving house-blended teas and Korean desserts with a view of the beach train. On a cloudy day I took my nephew to a 4th-floor window seat, ordered the cold hyeonwolhoji tea and the Dalbodeure dessert box, and photographed the beach train over and over as it passed — though the 3rd-floor floor seating I only spotted later suited us even better. For a Songjeong café where you can watch both the sea and the train, Suwolgyeonghwa is the one to book an afternoon for. ## Good to know - **Address**: 4th floor, 188 Songjeongjungang-ro 6beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan - **Hours**: 11:00–23:00 - **Parking**: Lot on the building's 1st floor (tight, double parking) / use nearby paid lots when full, no validation - **How to order**: Take a menu to your table, then order at the counter - **Drink I had**: Hyeonwolhoji tea, cold (contains a small amount of caffeine) - **Dessert**: Dalbodeure dessert box – five items: financier, black rice bread, monaka, injeolmi (chewy rice cake) skewers and more - **The space**: 4th floor: single row of seats facing the windows; 3rd floor: partitioned seating and floor seats *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* On a recent trip to Busan, I visited Suwolgyeonghwa, a Songjeong café with a view of the beach train. ![Visiting Suwolgyeonghwa, a café with a view of the Songjeong beach train](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-01-uwleu-900.webp) ## What kind of café is Suwolgyeonghwa in Songjeong? I found Suwolgyeonghwa while searching for cafés near Gijang and Songjeong. Turns out this Songjeong café is already famous in Busan — a leading tea café that's appeared on multiple broadcasts and even made the Blue Ribbon Survey. ![Exterior of Suwolgyeonghwa, a tea café in Songjeong, Busan](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-02-1pkrv-900.webp) > Suwolgyeonghwa / 188 Songjeongjungang-ro 6beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea, 4th floor / 11:00–23:00 / parking available (tight, building's 1st floor) ### Parking and how to find Suwolgyeonghwa The 1st-floor parking lot in the building is on the small side, with double parking... when it's full, use Kakao parking lots or nearby paid lots like Songjeong Pureun Parking Lot (no support provided). Songjeong Beach is right in view, along with the beach train tracks. ![Songjeong Beach and the beach train tracks in front of Suwolgyeonghwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-03-174wx-900.webp) Climbing all the way up to the 4th floor was a bit much, but the interior atmosphere made up for it — a serenity that made me think, wait, is this really Busan? ![The serene interior of Suwolgyeonghwa's 4th floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-04-hzu1u-900.webp) ## Which teas does Suwolgyeonghwa blend? Suwolgyeonghwa is a leading tea café in Songjeong, Busan, blending its own teas — which you can also buy separately. I don't really brew tea at home so I didn't buy any, just browsed haha. It'd make a great gift, though. ![Display area of Suwolgyeonghwa's own blended teas for sale](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-05-at9lz-900.webp) It was cloudy, but I'd come for the sea-plus-train view — and this place has been featured in the Blue Ribbon Survey for two years running. I liked it even more knowing they use fresh, high-quality tea leaves sourced directly from some of Korea's best tea gardens, alongside their own blends. ![Sea and train view from Suwolgyeonghwa's window on a cloudy day](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-06-18qlg-900.webp) ## Photographing the beach train from the window with my nephew My nephew who came along absolutely loves trains! Haha. The beach train, a famous Busan tourist attraction, kept passing by and made for such great photos. It ran fairly often throughout the day, and every time it passed we went into an endless photo-taking frenzy lol. ![The Songjeong beach train passing by outside the café's window](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-07-at61j-900.webp) ## The menu and how to order at Suwolgyeonghwa I could even watch the process of the tea being brewed. Suwolgyeonghwa doesn't only serve tea — there's American-style coffee like Americano, gabaeore (their take on a café latte), non-coffee drinks, and traditional beverages like jujube tea, ginger tea, sweet rice punch, and sujeonggwa (cinnamon persimmon punch). The menu is varied enough that even people who don't like tea don't need to worry. You take the menu to look over and order at the counter — the descriptions on the menu were clear enough that it wasn't confusing at all. ![Suwolgyeonghwa's menu board and counter ordering area](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-08-167np-900.webp) ### Hyeonwolhoji tea, served cold Since this café is all about tea, I ordered one too — hyeonwolhoji tea, cold (contains a small amount of caffeine). There are so many types of tea, and after smelling a few I picked this one — a moderately bitter, sweet flavor that satisfied me. The tea was presented so beautifully 🫖🍶 By the way, the leaf floating on top... don't eat it lol, it's decoration, not food. ![A cup of cold hyeonwolhoji tea at Suwolgyeonghwa](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-09-1do5b-900.webp) ### What's in the Dalbodeure dessert box? We also ordered Suwolgyeonghwa's signature dessert, the Dalbodeure dessert box, which came with five items — just enough for a taste of each (financier, black rice bread, monaka, injeolmi skewers, and more). This box is such a great way to enjoy Suwolgyeonghwa — make sure you order it too 🍡🥮 ![Dalbodeure dessert box with five kinds of desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-10-1h1dq-900.webp) Even people trying tea for the first time can enjoy it comfortably, thanks to the range of tea-based drinks and the Korean desserts that pair so well with them. ![A table set with tea and Korean-style desserts](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-11-1uhsh-900.webp) ## 3rd floor or 4th floor: where should you sit? I only found out about the 3rd floor space later on. Order first, then definitely go check it out! If the 4th floor is mainly a row of window-facing seats, the 3rd floor has separated seating and a calmer atmosphere. ![The calm, separated seating on Suwolgyeonghwa's 3rd floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-12-1pauo-1200.webp) The beach train really does pass right in front of you. If the weather had been better, the view would have been even prettier 🌊🚂 ![The beach train passing right in front of the café](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-13-1819k-900.webp) ![Songjeong's sea and beach train tracks on a cloudy day](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-14-15s4z-900.webp) Personally, I liked the lower floor even more! The bar seats facing the sea and the floor seating went perfectly with drinking tea. It was such a nice place to enjoy a quiet café moment and the sea at the same time — Suwolgyeonghwa, a Songjeong café in Busan. ![Bar seats facing the sea and floor seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-15-1ahe1-900.webp) You could see the sea from here too, and since the building is tall, the view of Songjeong was gorgeous — a real ocean-view café. If you're looking for a Songjeong café, I recommend it ✨ Suwolgyeonghwa, a café in Songjeong, Busan. ![Ocean view of Songjeong seen from an upper floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view-16-uphgc-900.webp) ## What the name Suwolgyeonghwa means Suwolgyeonghwa (수월경화) means 'the moon reflected in water, the flower reflected in a mirror' 🌙 This has been my review of Suwolgyeonghwa, a Songjeong café in Busan where you can enjoy tea and coffee alongside the sights of Songjeong itself! ## Where it is - Suwolgyeonghwa (수월경화) - 부산광역시 해운대구 송정중앙로6번길 188 4층 (188 Songjeongjungang-ro 6beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea, 4th floor) - 부산광역시 해운대구 송정중앙로6번길 188 4층 - 35.1761111, 129.1965736 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%88%98%EC%9B%94%EA%B2%BD%ED%99%94/@35.1761111,129.1965736,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@busan-cupboard-light/songjeong-suwolgyeonghwa-beach-train-view/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
