Korea - my itinerary in Busan

Read about Seoul and Jeju in the other posts..

01/09 - Day 7 - Jeju - Busan

In the morning I had to say bye to this wonderful Island. I had a really tasty lunch at the Jeju airport. After Landing in Busan and taking the airport bus to the home where I was staying with my Korean family I just wanted to relax. And I couldn't pick a better place than the Haeundae beach.

02/09 - Day 8 - Busan

Beomeosa Temple - A slight slope up and you arrived to this mystical place. Several temples were distributed in the temple area and you could also it is also possible to practice temple stay.

Geumjeong Fortress - It was hiking a trail of 1.6km thorough the forest hill and rocks. Every time I spotted someone on the tracks and asked them how much more to reach the top they replied "5-10 mins" but it took a lot more than that. I only reached the north Gate and back again.

Chungnyeolsa Shrine - A lovely shrine in a well maintained garden.

Diamond bridge - Just sit on the shore and enjoyed the Diamond bridge specially in the night where the bridge shines with lights.

Busan Cinema center - Where they normally hold the Busan International Film Festival. In the night the center is decorated with moving lights and images.

03/09 - Day 9 - Busan

Yonggung Temple - It was drizzling when I left home and it rained also while I walked to reach the temple, it took me about 15-20 minutes. Despite the grey sky it had a magnificent view. A temple built on top of a huge rock on the seaside. The Zodiac Animal figures guarded the entrance to this temple.

It rained a lot in the afternoon so I tried out a SPA in Busan center :D loved it!

04/09 - Day 10 - Busan

Samgwangsa Temple - The bus stops right in front of the temple. So you have no excuse not to go there. Walk around the temple area and enjoy the view.

After the temple it was a quick view at China town, Busan 40 steps street and BIFF square.

National Maritime Museum - Another FREE museum, the bus takes you in front of the Museum. Go to the rooftop and you get a view of the Busan coast. I tried a 4D film experience for the first time.

Busan Tower - I went up in the night, there weren't many people. The view was nice

Harbor Bridge - I don't remember how much I walked to get here from the Busan Tower. I could have taken a bus, I was tired, but I still insisted on walking and I don't know why! The view was just as I expected, simply wonderful.

05/09 - Day 11 - Busan

Busan Museum - Enjoy some history.

United Nations Memorial Cemetery - 5 minute walk from the Museum and you arrive at this cemetery with a guards at the entrance.

Haeundae beach - Walked along the shores again while eating Baskin Robbins ice cream. Walked to the very end of it and go trough the man made wooden path that leads you to the APEC house.

Nurimaru APEC House - A glass house memorial hall that lies on Haeundae beach itself. Gives you a nice view.
