4.8/5
1.3k reviews
Haeundae Beach is located in the southeast of Busan and is an urban beach characterized by its fine white sand and shallow bay. The beach is approx. 1.5 km long with fine, soft sand, and the slope into the water is gentle, making it suitable for swimming and playing in the water. High-rise buildings and hotels are distributed around the coast, where modern urban views and the open sea complement each other, creating a unique coastal landscape. The name of the beach is related to the pen name "Haeun" of the Silla-era scholar Choi Chi-won, and the "Haeundae" inscription remains on the rocks of nearby Dongbaek Park, adding a historical touch to the coast. In summer, rows of parasols are a common sight on the beach, attracting many tourists to swim and relax. At night, the lights of the high-rise buildings reflect on the sea, and you can also enjoy the coastal night view while walking along the seaside promenade. The beach also hosts the Polar Bear Swimming Festival and the Haeundae Sand Festival, where you can enjoy large sand sculptures and related activities during the festival. During New Year's Day, the seaside is also one of the spots to watch the sunrise and welcome the new year. Restaurants and accommodation facilities are concentrated around the beach, making it suitable for both experiencing seaside leisure and enjoying the view where the city of Busan meets the ocean.Busan · 22.6 km from Yangsan-si

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is situated on the cliffs of the east coast of Busan, a Buddhist temple nestled between the mountains and the sea. Legend has it that the temple was founded in 1376 by the monk Naong, who served as the royal preceptor to King Gongmin. It was later destroyed by war and rebuilt in the 1930s under the guidance of monks from Tongdosa Temple. In 1974, the head monk Jeong-am dreamed of the White-robed Guanyin ascending to heaven on a dragon while praying, which is how the temple got its name, adding a legendary touch to this seaside temple. Descending 108 stone steps from the entrance leads to the temple, passing by Sunrise Rock, which is perfect for viewing the sea and sunrise. The temple buildings are distributed along the coastal cliffs; the Seawater Guanyin statue faces the sea, the Main Hall (Daeungjeon) is decorated with traditional dancheong paintings, and the Cave Dharma Hall (Gulbeopdang) is built into a rock cave, enshrining a seated Maitreya Buddha. The Four-Lion Three-Story Stone Pagoda in front of the Main Hall is also a unique feature, with the 4 stone lions displaying expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, respectively. In addition, the temple also has a Dragon King Hall and stone carvings such as the 12 zodiac animal statues. In spring, cherry blossoms near the entrance add color to the temple. Around Buddha's Birthday, rows of colorful lanterns are hung throughout the temple, and at night, the lights reflect off the ocean waves, creating a unique scene. Strolling along the stone steps and viewing areas, you can enjoy the combined scenery of the temple architecture, coastal rocks, and the vast sea.Busan · 23.5 km from Yangsan-si

4.8/5

Gwangalli Beach is located in a bay in Suyeong District, Busan, and, together with Haeundae Beach to the east, is one of Busan’s most representative seaside beaches. The beach forms a crescent shape, with fine, soft sand stretching for about 1.4 kilometers, while Gwangan Bridge lies across the bay. During the day, the bridge and the deep blue sea create an open, expansive view; after dark, the bridge lights up and reflects on the water, creating a captivating nightscape. The car-chase scenes in the film Black Panther were also filmed around this beach. The area is not only ideal for enjoying views of the sea; in summer, visitors can also take part in activities such as swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding, with numerous surf shops located around the beach. The streets behind the beach are lined with cafés, restaurants, and sashimi restaurants, while on the Millak-dong side there are Millak Waterside Park and a live-fish market. On Saturday evenings, drone shows often light up the sky above the beach, forming different patterns with lights that complement the nightscape of Gwangan Bridge. The annual Busan Fireworks Festival is also held mainly over this bay. Coming in the evening allows visitors to enjoy the sunset and watch the bridge transform from a daytime view into a nighttime display of lights.Busan · 21.5 km from Yangsan-si

Yongdusan Park

4.5/5
443 reviews
Yongdusan Park is a park that encompasses the entire hill. The hill's shape resembles a dragon's head reaching toward the harbor, which is how it got its name. In the past, the hill was covered in dense pine forests and was once known as "Songhyunsan." The park entrance features an outdoor escalator, allowing visitors to ride up from the commercial street and enter the park, making it convenient for those who want to enjoy a high vantage point while shopping. The park's attractions are centrally located. The flower clock in the hilltop plaza is decorated with fresh flowers, with different colors for each season. Nearby stands a bronze statue of the Joseon naval hero Yi Sun-sin, and the bell pavilion next to it houses the Citizen's Bell. Ringing the bell to welcome the New Year at the turn of the year is a long-standing city tradition in Busan. The park's landmark is the approx. 120m Busan Tower. The observation deck at the top offers a wide view, allowing you to overlook Busan Port, Yeongdo, and Yeongdo Bridge, as well as enjoy the scenery of the surrounding streets. After nightfall, the tower lights up, reflecting against the night view of the harbor. The park is compact and easy to explore; if you come in the evening, you can first enjoy the flower clock and the bronze statue, then ascend the tower to view the night scenery.Busan · 26.1 km from Yangsan-si
Beomeosa Temple

Beomeosa Temple

Beomeosa is located at the foot of Jinjing Mountain in the north of Busan. It was built at the end of the 7th century and is the main center of Zen Buddhism. There are many historical sites in Beomyusa Temple, among which the Daeungjeon Hall and the three-story stone pagoda have been listed as national treasures of Korea. Beomyusa Temple was originally a temple with 36 large-scale buildings, but unfortunately it was destroyed during the Imjin Japanese Rebellion. Rebuilt in 1717, the Daeungjeon Hall is very delicate and gorgeous, which can be called the essence of the architecture of the Joseon Dynasty. The temple still retains 7 halls, 2 attics, 3 giant gates, 11 training nunneries and the early three-story stone pagoda and many other historical sites. When you enter the Fanyu Temple with the Yizhumen, the first thing that catches your eye is the Yizhumen. This kind of layout is very meaningful. Among the mountain garam in Korea, one must see the Iljumun, and its stone base is particularly rare. The lacquer-dyed wooden part of the gorgeous Dancheong (traditional Korean painting) contrasts sharply with the stone base made of the majestic stone pillars, which is also the eye-catching feature of Iljummun. The Daxiong Hall and the three-story stone pagoda go up along the stone steps, and the middle area of the temple is where the Daxiong Hall is located. Opposite and on the right side of Daeungjeon Hall is a three-story stone pagoda. It was built on a double-deck base and is a typical stone pagoda style in the late Unified Silla period. It is also designated as Treasure No. 250 as an Important Cultural Property. Presumably, it was built around the 9th century and has a long history. After passing through the Yizhumen Gate in the quiet temple, the Tianwang Gate and the Fuji Gate are next. There are many conifers such as cypresses and pine trees, and bamboo forests in Fanyu Temple, showing a state of tranquility and tranquility. In Fanyu Temple, there are often many believers who come to worship, and every time they pass through a gate, they will worship devoutly, which is quite sacred.Busan · 6.4 km from Yangsan-si

4.8/5

Cheongsapo is a small seaside fishing village located between the Haeundae and Songjeong coasts, retaining the traditional fishing port atmosphere by relying on a quiet little harbor. The red and white twin lighthouses standing side by side at the end of the breakwater are a representative view here, and also a spot to enjoy the seascape and sunrise. Inside the embankment, there are clusters of sashimi restaurants and grilled shellfish restaurants. Fresh seafood is prepared to order, and grilled shellfish and shellfish platters are common local delicacies. Another feature of Cheongsapo is the glass skywalk observatory that extends over the sea. Built along the abandoned railway line of the Donghae Nambu Line, it stretches out toward the sea, allowing you to view the seascape beneath your feet through the transparent glass, and you can also see reefs lined up in the sea in the distance. The old railway line now operates the Blueline Park's beach train and Sky Capsule train. The trains, the coast, and the sea complement each other, becoming a common photo opportunity in the area. If you prefer a leisurely tour, you can take a walk along the seaside trail to enjoy the pebble beach, village alley views, and seaside cafes, and experience the tranquil atmosphere of the fishing village.Busan · 24 km from Yangsan-si

Many movie fans are familiar with the Busan International Film Festival, which screens films and holds various events in cinemas and specific open-air venues every autumn. Busan Center Busan's iconic landmark, Busan Tower, is located about a 10-minute walk from Yongdusan Park, where it's located, to BIFF Square. Every year, starting in the first week of October, an international film festival is held here for approximately 10 days. As one of the largest film festivals in Asia, the Busan Film Festival offers tremendous potential for the development of the film industry and has contributed significantly to the advancement of Korean and other cinematic fields. Furthermore, the film market formed here, serving as a film festival expo, has garnered widespread attention worldwide. Film Street To expand and develop Korean film culture, establish new cultural and tourist destinations, and strive to become an international cultural and tourist city, thereby boosting public enthusiasm and building a sense of pride, a "Star Street" and "Film Festival Street" have emerged along the approximately 428-meter-long road from the Nampodong Booyoung Theater to the Chungmudong Overpass. From the entrance to the Chungmudong Overpass, the 400-meter-long road features seven cinemas with seven screening rooms and seven or eight theaters, including the Gukdo Theater. When strolling along Movie Street, be sure to look down, as you'll find the handprints of many celebrities right beneath your feet. For example, you can capture the handprints of renowned Chinese directors like Xie Jin and Zhang Yimou, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Takeshi Kitano. You can also use your camera to capture these handprints. There are also many famous Korean stars, though since many are in Korean, it takes some research to identify them. Food Paradise Don't miss the various food stalls at BIFF Square. These include the sweet pancakes, a favorite among Chinese tourists, as well as spicy rice cakes, gimbap, fish cake skewers, dried squid, taiyaki, and roasted chestnuts. The food stalls also feature seasonal variations. Spend a leisurely day at BIFF Square, enjoying a movie, a snack, and admiring the window displays.Busan · 26.3 km from Yangsan-si

Busan's sea doesn't need filters or extensive planning. Just looking at the lighthouse and listening to the waves is enough to while away the time. - 🚠 Coastline At Haeundae Beach, you can take the Sky Capsule or the Coastal Train. Unfortunately, both were sold out, so you'd have to enjoy the coastal scenery on foot. - ☕️ Sandy Blue There are many cafes along the beach, some with long queues. I randomly went into Sandy Blue; there's a window on the second floor facing the lighthouse. -

It is a very iconic spot in Busan. A myraid of houses in different colour makes a beautiful view. Grab some drink and snack on the way up the hill. U must to go the flipbook studio. It is good for couples. If you dont have time, dont need to climb to the top and take pic with the little prince. There is nothing special.

Gwanganli in Busan combines natural landscapes with modern urban charm. Whether you are surfing during the day, strolling at dusk, or having a drink at night, you can experience the unique seaside style of Busan. The iconic landscape here is the blue sea, white sand, and the Gwangan Bridge across the bay. The bridge is brightly lit at night and is a popular place for taking photos and checking in. The surrounding attractions and food create an in-depth experience journey.

The last stop of the Busan trip, before going to Gyeongju, I came here to experience the Buddhist atmosphere in Korea. I needed to transfer again, but it was not complicated at all: after exiting the subway, walk along the slope for 2 minutes to reach the station and take bus No. 90. I saw that the place where everyone got off was Fanyu Temple. Most of the grandpas and grandmas came to climb Jinjing Mountain. On the way, I met a Malaysian Chinese couple who went to Fanyu Temple together. There are many believers in the temple. The main hall is full of devout believers who come to chant scriptures and worship, but there is no sense of noise at all. I think this is the pure land of Buddhism! The overall area of ​​the temple is not large, and the layout is no different from the Han Buddhist temples in China. Some details are also exquisite. As a famous Korean temple with historical relics, you can naturally feel the sense of history in it. During the visit, I happened to meet a monk who could speak Chinese and told him that the temple canteen could provide vegetarian food at noon. Because it was lunch time, I enjoyed vegetarian food with the believers after the visit. We left the Beomeosa Temple with awe for Buddhist culture and temples, ending our trip to Busan.
