TOP10 Busan attractions recommended, all breathtaking, a city with mountains and sea!

Busan is the second largest city in South Korea, and its popularity is gradually approaching Seoul, becoming one of the most popular cities for Taiwanese Tourists. What are the must-see attractions in Busan for your first Trip to Busan? Gamcheon Culture Village, Haeundae, and Haedong Yonggungsa Temple are definitely must-sees. If you want to eat seafood in Busan, you must go to Jagalchi Market, and shopping in Nampodong is also an indispensable itinerary. In addition, there are more Busan attractions recommended to you by the editor's private collection!

Busan Attraction Recommendation 1: Gamcheon Culture Village 감천문화마을



Speaking of slums, what impression do you have? Contrary to everyone's impression of slums, in Korean, slums have a very beautiful name: Woljimura (달동네). Is it hard to associate it with slums just by looking at the name? Gamcheon-dong Culture Village, known as the Korean version of Santorini, was originally a forgotten Woljimura.



However, with the efforts of local artists and residents, the originally dark and heavy streets have been transformed into a new tourist attraction in Busan after being embellished with colorful colors. The tourist information center at the entrance of the village sells maps showing all the attractions in the village. If you follow the map and collect all the stamps, you can also exchange them for cute and beautiful postcards.

Busan Attraction Recommendation 2: Oryukdo Skywalk 오륙도스카이워크



The Oryukdo Skywalk is a super dreamy check-in spot! The Skywalk is located on a 35-meter-high cliff. Looking down from the transparent glass, you can see the waves hitting the rocks. It is an exciting and novel experience. The glass has been specially strengthened, so it is very safe and you don’t have to worry too much. However, it should be noted that in order to ensure safety and prevent tourists from slipping, you need to put on special foot covers before walking on the Skywalk. The foot covers are free.

Busan Attraction Recommendation 3: Haedong Yonggungsa Temple 해동용궁사

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which was selected as one of the three major Guanyin holy places in South Korea, was named because the monks in the temple dreamed of Guanyin Bodhisattva wearing white clothes and flying into the sky on a dragon. Legend has it that as long as you make a wish here sincerely, your wish will definitely come true.



The biggest selling point of Haedong Yonggung Temple is its excellent geographical location. Built along the rocks of the coast, Haedong Yonggung Temple not only offers beautiful views of the sea, but also cherry blossoms in spring. I went to Yonggung Temple twice, once with cherry blossoms and once with snowflakes. I still can't forget the beautiful scenery.

Busan Scenic Spot Recommendation 4: Haeundae 해운대

Speaking of Busan, we have to mention Haeundae Beach. Haeundae has almost become synonymous with Busan. Every summer, a large number of Koreans and foreign tourists flock to Haeundae to enjoy the summer. Even though more and more beaches are emerging, Haeundae's popularity remains unbeaten. It can be said to be a must-visit pilgrimage site in Busan.



In addition to people, Haeundae has another group of guests, that is, flocks of seagulls. If you want to experience the feeling of being besieged by a large group of seagulls, remember to buy a pack of shrimp flavor at a nearby supermarket first, which will make you a big celebrity in the eyes of the seagulls.



Haeundae is really beautiful. If you think that just being at the beach or swimming beach is not enough! Then you must try the Haeundae yacht experience, and enjoy the embrace of the wind and the sea in Haeundae and cool down!

Busan Attraction Recommendation 5: Gwangalli Beach 광안리해수욕장



After Haeundae, Gwangalli is another popular beach in Busan, and it is a must-visit attraction for many young people in summer. The beautiful night view of Gwangan Bridge is also one of the main reasons why many tourists come to visit. The Gwangan Bridge connecting Haeundae and Gwangalli is the second longest cross-sea bridge in South Korea after the Incheon Bridge. The reflection on the sea at night really kills the memory of many people. It is recommended to bring a pair of sunglasses for those who go alone! There are also many specialty coffee shops nearby. Sitting in a coffee shop, drinking coffee while looking at the sea view outside the window, what can be more enjoyable than this?

Busan Attraction Recommendation 6: Taejongdae 태종대



Unlike the beach terrain of Haeundae, Taejongdae is famous for its gravel beach and eroded coast. As a result of long-term erosion by waves, the cliffs that fall straight into the sea are magnificent, among which Sinseonbawi is the most famous. In addition to the beautiful scenery of strange rocks and the sea, you can also see the fearless spirit of Koreans who are not afraid of being crushed to pieces.



There is also a place called Suicide Rock in Taejongdae. Because so many people committed suicide by jumping into the sea there, the Busan City Government finally set up a statue of a mother and child there, hoping that those who want to commit suicide will be moved by the affection of their family members after seeing the statue and turn back.

Busan Attraction Recommendation 7: The Bay 101 더베이101

The Bay 101 is located in Haeundae District. If you go to Haeundae, you can visit it. The Bay 101 is a complex cultural and artistic space with many restaurants and cafes. It is a good place to have a full meal; but everyone comes to The Bay 101 not to visit it, but for its super magnificent night view! Because it is so good to take pictures, it has recently become a popular attraction in Busan.



To take photos of the beautiful night view of The Bay 101, I recommend that you walk to the back of The Bay 101 and then walk forward. There is a better place to take photos of the night view. When the super handsome skyscrapers are reflected on the water, it is really spectacular; at this time, people standing in the middle are like elves walking on the water. If you go to Busan now and don’t take photos of The Bay 101, you will definitely leave a deep regret!

Busan Attraction Recommendation 8: Songdo Skywalk 송도구름산책로

Busan Songdo Skywalk is also one of the pocket attractions recommended by the editor! Those of you who love nature and sea views must arrange to walk on the Songdo Skywalk! In addition to the clean and beautiful beaches here, there is also a newly renovated and open skywalk. There is also a cable car station next to it where you can take the sea cable car to experience the wonderful feeling of floating on the sea, and you can also enjoy the sea view 360 degrees. If you are hungry, there are many seafood restaurants nearby where you can enjoy seafood dishes. Overall, Songdo is very suitable for families or people who like to Travel at a slow pace!

Busan Attraction Recommendation 9: Dongbaek Park 동백공원



Sebong-ro in Dongbaek Island retains the venue of the 2005 APEC meeting. It is now open to tourists, and there are some photos recording the APEC situation at that time. From Dongbaek Island, you can also see the famous Gwangan Bridge in Busan, and you can also walk slowly along the seaside trail to Haeundae. This road has a special scenery of the city and the sea coexisting closely. In addition, there is the lighthouse on Dongbaek Island. The small and cute lighthouse is also one of the must-visit classics on this walking path!

Busan Scenic Spot Recommendation 10: Yingyuelu (Busan Cherry Blossom Recommendation)



Also in Haeundae District, there is Dalmae-gil, which is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Busan for its beautiful scenery of the blue sea, white sand beach, camellia trees and pine trees. In spring, cherry blossoms will bloom along the roadside, full of pink atmosphere. If you are lucky, you can also see the full moon when walking at night.

After reading all the recommended attractions in Busan, are you starting to be tempted? Now it is very convenient to travel from Seoul to Busan. It is not a problem to arrange a three-day and two-night trip to Busan. You can also meet the oppa here. It is so happy!

In such a beautiful scenery, the bad mood will be blown away by the wind
