Travelling to Busan, South Korea
Day 1: Arrive in Busan and explore the city
본문내용넣기
After arriving at Busan International Airport, I took a taxi to my accommodation in the Haeundae Beach area.
Haeundae Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Busan, known for its soft sand and clear blue water.
I spent the afternoon lying on the beach, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze.
In the evening, I walked the beach promenade, which was filled with street vendors selling local snacks and souvenirs.
Day 2: Historical and cultural sites
On the second day of my trip, I visited some of Busan's historical and cultural sites.
First, we went to Gamcheon Cultural Village, a hilltop neighbourhood full of colourful houses and narrow alleys.
The village is called the "Santorini of the East" because of its unique architecture and stunning views.
I spent a few hours wandering around the village, taking photos and admiring the artwork on the walls.
Next, we went to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, one of the most famous Korean temples.
It is the closest temple to the sea and is located in a peaceful and scenic area.
It is said that Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is the temple that grants visitors one wish.
The temple by the sea was an experience I will never forget.
Day 3: Gwangalli Beach and Seafood
On the third day of my trip, I visited other beaches in Busan, including Gwangalli Beach and Songdo Beach.
Gwangalli Beach is famous for its night view, as the Gwangan Bridge lights up in different colours at night.
Songdo Beach is famous for its cable car and skywalk, which gives you a great view of the ocean.
For lunch, I went to Jagalchi Market, the largest seafood market in Korea.
Located near Busan Harbour, the market is filled with vendors selling everything from octopus to squid to shrimp.
I tried their famous 'sashimi' and 'mountain octopus' dishes, which were delicious and fresh.
I tried the famous 'wheat noodles' dish, which was spicy and flavourful.
