Songgwangsa Temple

Mentioned on

Buddhist temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
The Songgwangsa Temple is a restored and active ancient Buddhist site that features numerous monuments, including a monastery and tomb. It is situated about an hour and 20 minutes away from Suncheon train station and can be accessed by taking the 111 bus, which arrives at intervals of approximately 45 minutes (the posted schedule provides further information). Additionally, travelers can opt to take the number 1 bus to visit another temple located on the opposite side of the area or hike between both locations.
It is the most amazing and beautiful place to come and rest, learn about Buddhist teachings, and find peace. Absolutely amazing monk Yeon Seong who explained the history and symbolism of Songgwamgsa, and his passion and dedication to help us through his teachings and Dharma talks (in Korean) was truly moving. The organizers of Templestay and the room were also fantastic. Highly recommend!

gorgeous temple, alot of others seem to be sort of tourist trappy or cheap but this is the real traditional experience. the buildings are beautiful the landscape is lovely. i went during the rainy season and it made for some lovely photos. just make sure you remain respectful and quiet during your visit. there are alot of beautiful water features and really lovely woods across from the temple grounds as well as some places to pray.
Congee — Google review
One of the most famous buddist temples in Korea. The temple is known for its long history, and many well-known monks have come from this place. However, from a tourist point of view, there are not many things to see considering the time required and traffic inconveniences. Nevertheless, the temple can be an interesting place for people who have never been to asian buddist temples before.

Visited Oct. 2nd, 2022. I loved the view, walk, forest, temple. You can buy good wodden scent cooking chopstick. I suggest you don't buy drinks from gift shop, not terrible but not good.

Beautiful temple, beautiful scenery. A lovely loop walk! I really enjoyed seeing this temple, it was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be! I loved the intricate details on each of the buildings. You can also do a Temple Stay here, and I think that's really cool! If you're down here from Pyeongtaek or Osan, I highly recommend seeing this place!

Was there on a templestay. Experienced the sounding of the 4 treasures in temple prior to the morning and evening prayer sessions. The surroundings are wonderful for hikes and walks and scenery is spectacular. Hikes are not refommended for those with any walking issues, however small, as some places could be challenging to tackle head-on.
Kelvin N — Google review
I enjoyed a hike around the temple but the temple itself was a little dissapointing. There are so many new buildings, cars parked everywhere that the atmosphere is more of a "lived in quarters" than a Joseon era temple. I think for example Buseoksa Temple was better, but that's just my opinion.

Nagan Eupseong Folk Village

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Historic Walking Areas
The museum, located in the Joseon-era fortress, offers a tour of traditional dwellings and buildings. It is a beautiful place to visit throughout the year as every season has its unique charm. Free entrance is available after 6 pm. The establishment showcases regional living habits and environment through various exhibitions and plays. It also features many shops where visitors can buy souvenirs or other items, but it's important to be courteous since Korean is spoken here.
If you are doing a road trip and in the neighborhood, definitely make your way here! It is kind of in the middle of nowhere so it might be difficult to reach if you don't have a car. This is a gorgeous traditional village and you can spend a few hours walking around here. It was also a film set for some Korean drama movies.
Stephen — Google review
A pleasant stroll through a Joseon-era traditional Korean village. End it with a Korean pancake with honey filling, or for the more adventurous, boiled pupa.
Ming — Google review
We have been here numerous times and this time it was for the Folk Culture Festival. It was full but not overly crowded. There are traditional games, traditional performance and culture experiences. If you have been to Jeonju you might find this one exciting as well because it is more traditional. People still live in the houses so dont go in if the gates are closed. Open houses are usually for experience programs. You can go up the fortress and look at the village from above. Not so recommended if you bring a stroller or with an elderly cos the stone steps can be steep and uneven. Other than the fortress climb, the path is flat and easy. There are restaurants inside and on ordinary days you can eat there but unless you come early during the festival days, you have to wait at least an hour. We had lunch at one of the setup food tents nearby. Price was much cheaper and I would say quite tasty and you can find a seat easily. Spacious parking, affordable ticket price. Free if you are more than 65, under 7, have disability card. We had the fee 50% discount today, probably because of the festival. Overall is a good place to see what traditional life is about, especially for children.

Interesting and insightful learning today of this place. My 1st time in this town and it has such a rich history of the March anti-japanese movement back in March 13, 1919 at Nagan-Eupseong. Definitely worthwhile use of our time here.

The reserve offers ample opportunities for walking while enjoying the scenic views. Visitors can take a shuttle to Sucheon National garden or ride on the electric mini rail, Sky cube, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the rice fields. A ferry ride through the bay is also recommended.
We did a small road trip in South Korea from Busan and we made a stop in Suncheon for this area. It is a gorgeous wetland area and the nature is so beautiful. We did a big walk here and witnessed a wonderful sunset at the end. It was truly magical! It is worth the entrance fee, highly recommended!

Vast and expansive nature reserve. Be prepared to spend at least 3 hours enjoying the many trails/walks. Come in the late afternoon to view the beautiful sunset.
Brandon L — Google review
Really lovely walk, can get a bit busy especially on the weekends, but worth a visit for sure. Great sunset is. I think it was 5,000 per person to get in, but I thought it was worth it. Could easily spend half a day or more there. Bikes to rent and boat rides too, but I didn’t do any of them.
Camille E — Google review
wow. what a beautiful and peaceful place!! Not crowded. Go for the sunset! You walk mostly on the raised board path until you come on a pretty steep hill. It says the observatory is closed but you can still hike up almost all the way there to enjoy the amazing views!

Beautiful spot that's well worth the entrance fee. It's unfortunately a little further away from most tourist town/city options but if you're in the area, it's certainly worth the visit.

Suncheon Bay Nature Reserve and Reed Field is a wonderful place to visit if you like the peace and quiet of nature. We started early and enjoyed walking around. This place is huge so be prepared to walk a lot. The reed field was beautiful in summer, very green. The birds, ducks, herons, crickets etc were all humming the entire time. The air was nice, crisp and clean. I enjoyed watching the crabs and mudfish interact in their natural habitat. We also hiked all the way up to the observatory. We saw a mountain cat too! The view there amazing! You can see the entire reserve. There's butteflied and caterpillars and even crabs up the mountain. There's also a restaurant serving coffee, desserts and lunch. For the meals, the ingredients were mostly sourced within the reserve so that's really cool. I would love to see this reserve in autumn when the colors change to browns and reds. It's also home to migratory birds so that would be nice.
Belle — Google review
Visiting the wetlands in Suncheon was such a cool experience. We spent a good 4 hours there. You can check out the bird museum, the planetarium and then walk through the wetlands. There's a bit of a hike to reach the multiple observation decks. The views from the top are incredible. Such a peaceful and beautiful outing in nature.

Garden

The Suncheon Bay National Garden is a vast and meticulously maintained garden complex that showcases creatively designed plant and flower displays with unique themes. Although the shops were closed during one visitor's afternoon visit, the garden was bustling with plenty of people entering and exiting. It's important to note that the entire place offers numerous photo opportunities, so it's wise to bring a bottle of water for hydration during your tour.
We visited this large garden in sunny weather in June. It's very big. It was hot. We took a small train to a nature reserve. I really liked it. we were very tired by the end.

Awesome~~ great park. So beautiful and hard to explain the beauty of the park. You can spend all day here and enjoy so many varieties of scenery. Took so many photos that I can't share all of them. Entry fee is so cheap too. There are many cafe along the way so you can rest for short time before you continue your way. Can't imagine when they completely finish planting all the flower. Must visit!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Incredibly wide, well maintained, absolutely gorgeous! The landscaping design is unique and beautiful. Staff members and volunteers were all friendly, which made our experiences much more special. It was drizzly, but we didn’t have any umbrellas. The people who were greeting at the gate led us to a place where we could rent umbrellas for free. They didn’t even ask for any identification; it was run on honor system. Excellent place to visit!

This garden has beautiful scenery as much as its size. The flowers swaying in the wind, the water currents, and even the warm breeze create an exotic atmosphere. Despite its large size, it is well managed. I want to go there again.

The cable car connects the mainland and Dolsan Island, providing breathtaking vistas of the ocean and surrounding landscapes. Visitors can enjoy a unique experience as they ride from Dolsan Park to Dolsan Island, taking in the beauty of the area.
If you wanna experience the vibrant southern city life in Korea, you should make a plan to visit here. I strongly recommend to all of you. I love it even I was born in Korea, this trip is my first visit here.

Awesome attraction that takes you from one side of Yeosu over a tall hill to the main port. Views are fantastic from the car. You have a choice of a glass bottom one for a bit more or the standard car to cross over. Very reasonably priced and the wait time to board is very well managed. It is probably the #1 thing to do when in Yeosu.

This was worth the ride! Also, the hearts temple near the entrance was a fun place to see and take photos!
Tracey E — Google review
A great way to see Yeosu, South Korea at night, but don’t go there too late since it will be too dark to see the scenic ocean and surrounding. Also, think about if you want to do a round trip ride, which we eventually decided wasn’t worth. Buying tickets at the kiosk was easy and quite affordable at this popular touristy landmark. A lot to see across the other side and a couple of places to get drinks and take selfies. We got there around 7:00~7:30 pm, but wished we arrived there a bit earlier… couldn’t see much when it got too dark. Overall, a nice experience on a cable car over Yeosu.

The view night is fantastic All of Yeo-su city is bright and shining. I would like to recommend for all of the couples. After dinner the best place for picnic.

It was during weekdays, so we did not have to wait for cable cars. But on the way back, there was line up of people waiting to ride back from the island. Overall, it was short and sweet, especially because we rode it at the time of sunset and twilight. It was beautiful day.

Buddhist temple

Geomosan Hyangilam, a serene Buddhist temple located on the edge of a forested cliff overlooking the vast ocean, boasts a picturesque terrace affording stunning views of the sea and neighboring islands. Accessible via a gentle twenty-minute uphill hike, this small yet charming temple offers an ideal spot for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in Buddhist culture while also enjoying breathtaking natural scenery. Its location amidst rocky cliffs and lush greenery makes it an excellent destination for those interested in both hiking and spirituality.
it's a bit of a steep climb up to the entrance but the views are breathtaking. the temple isn't very huge so i only spent ~1hr here. you can get to this place with bus 111, 111-1, 116. for bus 111 & 111-1, they also pickup and drop off at yeosu expo bus stop early in the morning if you stay in the area; check the timings in the image.

Nice little temple on the slope of a hill overlooking the sea. You get a really nice view over the sea when you actually climb up to the observation deck! Parking is an issue BUT there is a paid parking lot 500m down the hill. The temple is accessible with wheelchairs and strollers BUT it’s a steep climb. With a wheelchair or stroller you’ll have to follow the road which is a bit of a detour. However, keep in mind that with a wheelchair or stroller you won’t be able to access all the areas of the temple. Entrance to the temple is free! The short route to the temple are the stairs, otherwise follow the road.
Gerry G — Google review
You will need to hike straight up on stairs for about 20 min to reach the top from the parking lot. View is well worth it with a panoramic view. There are plenty of food options near the parking lot.
Kent M — Google review
It's a small temple with an amazing view onto the sea. The temple is sort of built right on top/almost within the rocks which creates a lot of little nooks, tunnels and caves which give it an extra special flair. The temple is high up, so be aware that there are quite a few steps to take. Also, if you're getting there by car, be aware that the road leading up to the temple entrance is very steep and narrow with almost no possibilities to park. You might want to park a bit further down.
Patricia S — Google review
Impressive views, about a 400 ft climb via stairs or a longer side road. Also, for people up to it, you can walk up the top of the mountain at 790 ft elevation through a steep stairs path up the mountain. Free entrance. Only coffee or tea are available once up at the temples.
David P — Google review
Hyangiram is among my favorite temples in Korea, and I'm excited every time I visit it. The stunning view of the blue sea melting with the blue sky is breathtaking. There is a free parking nearby and free entry (as of August 31st 2024) for visitors. The path to the top offers an interesting experience. This place should be on any traveler bucket list.
Melline G — Google review
1300+ yr old temple, if you take a taxi you will need to book it round trip and have them wait 1:30hrs as there's no taxi readily available. taxi will also take you closer but it's an extreme trek for the elderly and young. with a stroller be extra prepared to park and hold your young ones. having said that it's a beautiful temple that's the shape of a turtle (from Google map Satellite view) with a legend of a turtle that was trying to make it to the next life with lots of turtle reference around the temple.

Odongdo is a picturesque island located near Yeosu Expo that can be accessed by a bridge. The island boasts of an observation deck that offers stunning views and is known for its beautiful camellia blooms and bamboo groves. Visitors can explore the well-built boardwalk around the island which takes about an hour to complete, with several viewpoints offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape. One can also visit the lighthouse or enjoy sunrise views from designated spots on the island.
A small island connected by a road that's perfect for a short hike. The walk towards the island is not long but you can also take a transport there. The island is famous for blooming with with red camellia flowers. I was lucky enough to see the first few buds blooming. At the end of the hiking trail on the island, there is a cave which is known to be a home of a dragon. There were clean toilets along the hike and shops to buy snacks as well.

National park
Nature & Parks
Jirisan National Park is a stunning natural haven that beckons adventurers with its majestic mountains and diverse wildlife. This expansive park offers challenging hiking trails, including the steep ascent to Cheonwangbong peak, which rewards trekkers with breathtaking views. Many visitors embark on multi-day hikes, staying in cozy shelters along the way while carrying their supplies. The experience can be demanding but is ultimately fulfilling as you immerse yourself in the pristine beauty of this mountainous landscape.
Completed the multi-day ridge hike solo from East to West, traversing Jirisan National Park in 3D2N as a foreigner. While I was hiking alone, I met several very nice hikers that offered food to me and we had very nice conversations. Definitely was not expecting this - I absolutely love the Korean hiking culture. I wrote a guide on how you could stay overnight on Korea's mountains/national parks on my blog/socials and more information on the hike from East to West (compared to the usual West to East route)! More @whereyiugoing on Instagram etc Thank you Jirisan National Park and the hikers for being so welcoming (despite the first two days of rain and foggy-ness) ✨

Jirisan is a massive, unforgiving, utterly brutal mountain to hike. And I loved every painstaking, and breathtaking moment of it. I unfortunately did not start at the beginning (miscommunication on my part) but somewhere in the middle which was Hadong village. The ascent to the trail as well as the ridge was challenging enough, but when you get to the peak, it gets darn near completely vertical. It's worth it though. Absolutely the best hike I have ever done!
D. P — Google review
The scenery of Jirisan National Park is breathtaking! It views are amazing, and it’s such a great place to go hiking! My friends and I did the full route for 4-day-long trip with 3 night in the shelters. It was an amazing experience, but also a little bit of a challenge, because we had to carry all our food in our backpacks during the whole trip, what accounted for around 7-10kg on our backs. But it was absolutely worth it!!! I do recommend it to anyone, even those who are not really into hiking, because this area can change your minds 😊💕

Namhae German Village

I didn’t stay there but i was driving around this village its really nice! recommended if youre in namhee
MAHFUZ K — Google review
We went to Namhae for Oktoberfest and it was a lot of fun! When you arrive for this festival you park at the bottom of the hill and then they bus you to the top. There were a lot of tents selling food (pretzels, sausages, beer, ribs) and souvenirs. There were two large tents for entertainment and beer. There were a few things for kids to do- a small play area and a balloon artist. They had ice cream that was delicious! The village itself is very cute. I can see why people enjoy visiting here!

It does look like a small village in Germany. The entrance fee to the museum is okay and affordable. Everything in the museum is also labelled in German. Unfortunately the food variety is limited to sausages, pig's trotters, and beer. Still it was interesting to see!
Natalie F — Google review
A German town in Korea sounds very unique, but I personally think that was pretty much the whole extent of its character. Despite its history and name, I didn't find much resemblance of a Deutsche Berg. I guess this popular attraction transformed itself into a Korean attraction that sells a lot of food and items of German names. The whole town is surrounded by beautiful mountain landscape, but the much of Nam Hae island is beautiful. The food is nothing like the ones I tasted in Munich or Frankfurt. There was not enough parking and too many people. Everything was sooooo expensive. My family had some snacks, juice, and ice cream, took photos, and got out of there quickly. If you want to visit, keep your expectations low. Personally, I think you will find much more satisfaction with other parts in Nam Hae Island. Nevertheless, it will be a not so German Town in Korea experience.

There is nothing special about this German village - the houses are built in German style, and there are a few restaurants that sell German foods like Schnitzel, sausage, and German beer. It can be nice for a short visit but, better to lower your expectation.

Jinjuseong, a medieval fortress wrapped by a 1.76km stone barricade, boasts ornate pavilions and a museum chronicling its storied past. The stronghold furnishes breathtaking vistas of the surrounding area. Visitors should purchase refreshments before entry since on-site stores are closed. This Korean attraction comprises one of the most exceptional parks replete with stunning traditional architecture, verdant greenery and panoramic cityscapes.
A place with the history of the Japanese invasion of Korea! Very beautiful park along the river and there is also a museum inside. Be sure to visit!
Young — Google review
The fortress offers well-preserved walls, scenic views of the Nam River, and several historical landmarks. The grounds are well-maintained and make for a pleasant walk. There is an entrance fee, but it is reasonable given the site’s significance, plus it includes access to the Museum, which was quite good. Overall, it is a great place to explore history and enjoy the surroundings.

Avery beautiful medieval Korean castle. It's history is complicated you may read from the information plates. But it is definately a must see place. There are many monuments, shrines of important people, beautiful forestation, amazing views, a great museum and alot of space to chill, rest and take photos. I thing this is the best place to hang out in Jinju.

Must visit place. Nice park with good history. The ChokSukLoo is the famous place because of Korean geisha story who commit suicide holding Japanese invader general while they had party to conquer the city long time before.
Victor L — Google review
Beautifully preserved and maintained landmark park. The place is huge and we had a wonderful walk amidst the late summer heat. There are a lot of trees that provided plenty of shade. There are old buildings from the 1500s that they were able to restore. The fortress is has the river on one side so the view from the pathways and gazebos there was beautiful. You can also see several memorials for the fallen heroes of the battle of Jinju. Stop by the museum to learn more. I would love to come back in October for the famous lantern festival.

Nice park, cool fortress but if you’re planning to come here, plan on being here for at least 2 hours. It’s big.
Sean Q — Google review
A beautiful place at day to roam. You would enjoy the walk and the green of its grass and trees. The national museum is a must. Great museography and spectacular items in display. Entering the fortress costs less than 2 euros per person so don't doubt it. The museum is free.

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mireuksan Mountain, standing at 462 meters, is renowned for its panoramic views accessible from a lookout platform reached by stairs or a cable car. Designated as one of Korea's top 100 famous mountains, it is believed to be the future descent site of Maitreya Buddha. The mountain attracts around 1.2 million visitors annually who enjoy the country's only automatic circulation gondola, offering a thrilling 1,975-meter ride.
Amazing scenery. The walk to the summit is not too long. It was a little tiring in the heat but the steps contain jokes (in Korean) to entertain you as you climb. The area has multiple viewpoints to admire Tongyeong from afar as well as the surrounding islands. They’re really beautiful. We saw a black cat at the peak and also a whole litter of kittens. Taking the cable car was enjoyable too.

Dongpirang Mural Village is a captivating maze of painted houses and alleys adorned with colorful murals of animals, flowers, and cartoon characters. Perched atop a hill overlooking the harbor, this charming village features shops and cafes nestled along winding alleys that lead to higher vantage points. The village's name, Dongpirang, refers to its location on the eastern hill in Tongyeong.
It was good but hard to park and drive around.

We have special experienced at Dongpirang village that is filled by painting all around. It's just like animation villige to us. In commemoration of our family trip, We paid about 50 dollars to a local artist and had him draw us. Also, We have enjoyed the nice view of Tongyoung, at the top of village. I hope you also have the special experience at Tongyoung if you come to South Korea.

This village holds the traditional and cultural heritage that Tongyeong has to offer. The walls are painted with beautiful caricatures and the village has cute little cafes with an amazing view of the city lake in the center. The center of the village has a photo spot like any other place in Korea. A must visit if you are in Tongyeong.

Tongyeong Agenda 21 is the responsible association gathered people throughout the nation in order to paint murals on the wall of Dongpirang-gil street in October 2007. This hillside village on the sea became a new place, revitalised by the art. The house design and roads are unique too. The view overlooking sea of Gangguan Port is fantastic as well.
YF T — Google review
The sunset view over Tongyeong from the mural village is excellent. The sun sets just over the hills behind the town. The mural village takes approx 20 mins to walk through and there are many cafes and some small shops along the walk. Some of the art is great, some needs reworking due to aging but generally it’s a great site to visit Edie silly for the panoramic views over the city and surrounding areas. There are toilets along the route and parking at the bottom of the village.

Upo Wetlands

Nature & Wildlife Areas
Upo Wetlands is a vast inland marshland renowned for its exceptional flora and fauna, including prickly lotus flowers and oriental white storks. The wetlands are an ideal location to witness stunning sunsets while enjoying the tranquil environment. For visitors who wish to explore the area, renting a bicycle from the entrance is recommended since it provides ample time (2 hours) to tour around.
I really enjoyed visiting Upo Wetland. I had no idea they existed before my visit. It is extremely child, family and couple-friendly. The most exciting activity here is the bike rental. Upo Wetlands spans over 200 hectares so you can really get your cardio in! The views are pretty, especially in autumn when I went. There is also a beautiful museum near the entrance. On one of the trails, there is an observation deck where you can see the wetlands from high up as well as have a look at the different endangered species the wetlands comprise of. Definitely a must-see.
Melissa L — Google review
I went here with friends and loved strolling around this park to enjoy nature. Such a peaceful place to relax and walk around. A bike rental shop will be at the front of the park. I suggest renting a bike so you can explore the whole park, which is enormous. My friends and I rented a few cycles (some even rented tandem bikes), which was a lovely experience. There's so much wildlife in this park and beautiful birds. Many people come here to go bird-watching, so you'll see a bunch of photographers. In the center of the park, there's a history museum where you can learn about the wetland and the animals that inhabit the ecosystem. There's also a cute cage filled with rabbits, LOL. Definitely family-friendly.

This is the location of the largest inland wetlands in South Korea. It is also a paradise for many varieties of ducks. There for it is well worth the visit. There is a road around the lakes and grasslands that makes the visit very easy by car. The best way to visit is with a bicycle as one cannot park at all the locations near to the lake edge. I highly visiting in the Spring and Fall. That is the time when it is teeming with wildlife. In late October there were large flights of ducks and geese and cranes flying over the area and landing for a rest. There are also paths where one can walk amount the high grass and get very close to the wildlife. I also noted a few blinds where one can use their telephoto lens and really acquire excellent close ups of the ducks and geese. If you like pond and lake life this is one of the best locations in South Korea to experience this. We took the train to Daegu and rented a car and drove for about one half hour to this location. Recommend that you set aside at least two hours as there is so much to see. Also there are flat bottom boats that are available for experiencing all away from the shore. Do go there and enjoy this paradise!

Windy Hill

Sights & Landmarks

The Windy Hill on Geoje Island is a must-visit tourist spot with stunning views of the mountains and ocean. It boasts a charming beach that comes equipped with amenities, as well as an old windmill that adds to its quaintness. You cannot leave this place without capturing some breathtaking pictures of the emerald blue sea surrounding it. The windy location and elevated position make it perfect for sightseeing.
This is a cute hill where you can take plenty of Instagram-worthy photos. It’s a short, easy hike up to the windmill, and the views from the top are pretty awesome. There are benches along the way if you want to rest or take in the scenery. It was super muggy so we expected some winds but it wasn't windy at all. :) Definitely check this place out—and enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants at the base of the hill.
Joon P — Google review
The attraction itself is free to enter; it’s just the parking costs 3000won. Payment is via cash or bank transfer if the parking attendant was there. We arrived on a Chuseok holiday at around 9am and the parking was still plenty. We spent around an hour there enjoying the beautiful weather and windy breeze; it’s perfect! The crowd started to grow big when we left. Encourage to come as early as you can to avoid the crowd. The hiking to the windy mill itself is not bad at all. Easy one I would say. Few benches available to rest or just enjoying the gorgeous weather. There are few shops and stalls before you hike up selling snacks and drinks. When we were there, there’s only one that opened but we didnt get anything. Overall the trip was excellent. Recommended to come and visit while you were in the island.
Maz — Google review
It’s boring, cheap looking, crowded and limited. This was one of the stops on our tour. The windmill is a prop that looks cheap and you can only walk in a limited area. The nature around it is nice but it’s definitely not worth going g to see this boring windmill.
Britz M — Google review
Eh, so-so. Our family loves nature and being out and about, but Windy Hill is just that; a windy hill. It’s crowded and there’s honestly not much to see. The view is lovely but so are all the coastal views in Geoje, so I’m not sure it worth the traffic jams and heat (during summer) to climb up there for a pic of a windmill. I’d say go if you’ve got nothing else to do :)

MAHFUZ K — Google review
Windy Hill in Geoje, South Korea, is one of those places that perfectly captures the peaceful charm of Korea’s southern coast. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the gentle sea breeze that gives the hill its name, along with sweeping ocean views that seem to stretch endlessly into the horizon. The picturesque windmill perched at the top is the highlight — it looks like a scene straight out of a storybook and makes for stunning photos, especially during sunset when the sky glows with warm, golden hues.
Laura J — Google review
A special place with special memories. Take bus 55 from Gohyeon bus terminal and alight at Dokpo bus stop. Follow the path to Windy Hill - either via the residences and cruise terminal below or the path past the hot dog stands and restaurants. There are public toilets available where the cruise passengers embark and disembark.

Rating: ★★★★★ I recently visited Geoje Maengjongjuk Theme Park and had an absolutely amazing experience! This park is a true gem, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and engaging activities that make it a must-visit destination. The bamboo forest is nothing short of spectacular. Walking through the towering bamboo groves felt like stepping into another world. The serene and peaceful atmosphere was incredibly refreshing, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The park is beautifully maintained, with well-marked trails and plenty of spots to sit and take in the scenery. The themed areas are thoughtfully designed, offering educational insights into bamboo and its various uses. The interactive exhibits and displays are both fun and informative, making it an excellent outing for families and nature enthusiasts alike. One of the highlights of my visit was the opportunity to try bamboo-themed activities. The bamboo crafts workshop was particularly enjoyable, allowing visitors to create their own bamboo souvenirs. Additionally, the bamboo-inspired cuisine at the park’s restaurant was delightful, offering a unique and tasty dining experience. The staff at Geoje Maengjongjuk Theme Park were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience. They were always ready to help and provided excellent service throughout our visit. Overall, Geoje Maengjongjuk Theme Park exceeded my expectations in every way. Whether you’re looking to relax in nature, learn something new, or enjoy some unique activities, this park has something for everyone. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Geoje area. Five stars!

Yeojwacheon River is a stunning tourist attraction, adorned with cherry blossom trees that bloom seasonally. The river banks are embellished with art pieces and street food vendors, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll. The entire city is awash with the beauty of these cherry blossoms, creating a romantic ambiance in the air. Despite its popularity amongst tourists, the weekend can be quite busy.
Visited 2 April 2025. Just as beautiful as when I visited the first time in 2019. Lovely long stream with cherry blossoms canopy and decorations. This time, we had time to eat from the stalls set up for the festival.

At around 3pm on 25 March, 2025, our party of 12 people came. We didn’t see any cherry blossoms. What we saw was one of our members helping an elderly with her cart crossing a bridge where we posed for a group photo, it was so heartwarming.
Peter C — Google review
Absolutely worth visiting in Jinhae at any time during the cherry blossom season (and quite honestly there’s no much in the area for food, cafes and bars/karaoke at any time of the year). We decided to stay in Jinhae to have more flexibility and peace about visiting the stream and the whole suburb is covered in cherry blossom trees! There were more people around during the day on tours, but the lights reflect off the flowers and stream’s water at night, so really night is a completely new experience alongside the street food and stalls. It’s day 1 of the festival today and we will be back for the flowers in full blossom one day. We loved it here!
Jason T — Google review
I visited during the cherry blossom festival this year with a tour group and I would highly recommend the tour for this because I primarily travel with the the subway and this allowed me to take their bus to this location and back to Busan. It was also a good mix of guided / planned time and wandering around to investigate whatever peaked my interest. I travel solo and the rest of the tour group provided social interaction for a day which I enjoyed. I booked it on the Klook site and the name of it was "Jinhae Pink Cherry Blossom Festival Tour from SEOUL / BUSAN". There was plenty to do at this destination, snacks, photo ops, drinks, and local restaurants.

The Most Beautiful Place on Earth – Yeojwacheon Cherry Blossom Festival in Jinhae I had the absolute privilege of visiting Yeojwacheon during Jinhae’s cherry blossom season, and I can say without exaggeration—it is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. The entire stream was lined with endless rows of cherry blossoms, their petals dancing in the breeze like pink snow. The sight was breathtaking, something out of a dream or a movie scene. It’s no wonder people from all over the world found their way here. What amazed me the most was not just the scenery, but how international the atmosphere felt. I overheard languages from all over—English, Chinese, Japanese, French. It made me wonder: how did people from so many different countries hear about this hidden gem in Korea? It’s a testament to just how globally beloved the Jinhae Cherry Blossom Festival has become. The crowds were large, yet everyone seemed to be in a peaceful and joyful mood, taking in the natural beauty with wide eyes and camera phones constantly snapping. What’s even more remarkable is that it wasn’t just Yeojwacheon that was celebrating—the entire district of Jinhae felt like a massive, vibrant festival. Every street was decorated, food stalls were everywhere, local music filled the air, and people wore smiles that reflected the joy of spring. It felt like the whole city had come alive to celebrate the arrival of cherry blossoms. I’ve traveled to many places, but Jinhae during cherry blossom season is something else entirely. It’s not just a place to take pretty photos—it’s a place to feel wonder, to share beauty with strangers, and to be reminded of how magical nature can be. I can’t recommend it enough. If you ever get the chance, this is an experience you don’t want to miss.

Worth the travel and anticipation, everything was truly magical! 🌸🌸🌸 The Cherry Blossom Festival was an enchanting experience that beautifully captured the essence of spring. The trees were in full bloom, creating a breathtaking canopy of pink and white petals that seemed to stretch endlessly across the park. The atmosphere was vibrant yet peaceful,l everyone was coming together to celebrate the fleeting beauty of the blossoms. The sense of both locals and tourists were astounding. Everyone was in high spirits, sharing smiles and conversations with strangers, all united by the beauty of the blossoms. The festival did get quite crowded, especially in the afternoon, making it difficult to find a good spot for viewing the trees or participating in some of the activities. Arriving early is definitely recommended to fully enjoy the experience.

Chloe C — Google review
To anyone looking for a place to enjoy, relax and feel the spring vibe (especially for people living in a tropical country like me where there is only hot, hotter, and hottest type of weather), this river is the right one for you. We went there during the full bloom season of cherry blossoms and my experience is priceless. It was raining in the evening upon our arrival but it only added to the mood that I was feeling - excited. The river is a long one so make sure to see all the stops there and the food stalls around it sells tasty and affordable korean dishes. There are various coffee shops available too for any coffee lover out there so you won't have to worry about that. Make sure to come and visit this river of you happen to be in Jinhae and let me know what you felt.

(Translated by Google) The exact place I went to was Rainbow Hotel,, The entire area is filled with the same facilities. It's the same atmosphere wherever you go. Perhaps because it was vacation, the kids room was almost booked even though it was a weekday. I had no choice but to use a slightly oversized room. The price is a bit high compared to the facilities, but if you have a large family, It's a size and satisfaction that I think I'll use again. There are three large beds on the first floor and a large bed on the upper floor, so children can have fun, and the family bath is the size of a local public bathhouse. It's half the size. It's really big. Next time, I'll take my parents with me. The bathtub is so big that I want to bring my younger brother's family. Haha. It's just a local motel facility with a large public bath and a hot spring!!! Cooking is not possible, but there are many restaurants nearby.

You will probably come back to Bugok Hot Springs again. (Original) 부곡온천 입구에 부곡 르네상스관에 들어봐도 좋고,벗꽃구경 하고 피곤함을 물 좋은 부곡 온천에 몸을 담궈 피곤도 풀고 피부도 매끄럽게 하고 가세요.아마도 다시 부곡 온천을 때문에 다시 찾아 오실꺼에요

(Translated by Google) Clear, clean, 70 degree Celsius hot spring water The facilities are similar to that of a local bathhouse, but if you look carefully, you can find many neat places. Bathing fees are usually 5,000 won, but you can sometimes find 4,000 won bath fees. The hotel bathroom is a bit expensive at 5,000 won. It's quiet in the summer and a bit crowded in the winter. (Original) 맑고 깨끗하며 섭씨70도 온천물 시설은 동네 목욕탕 수준이지만 잘 찾아보면 깔끔한 곳도 많이 있다. 보통 5000원 목욕비에 가끔 4000원짜리도 찾을 수 있다. 호텔 목욕탕이 5000원으로 조금 비싼 편이다. 여름엔 조용하고 겨울에는 사람이 좀 많다.

(Translated by Google) The water was very clean, which was nice, but the public bathhouse was small because the family bathhouse was the main business, and there was no sauna in the bathhouse. The price of the bath was cheap, but it was great to take a bath in the hot spring water. (Original) 물 너무 깨끗해서 좋았으나 가족탕이 메인 사업인지 대중탕 크기가 작고, 탕내 사우나는 없었음. 목욕값이 저렴한데 온천물로 목욕하니 너무 좋았음

Gyeonghwayeog station is a small railway stop in South Korea, adjacent to Seongjusa and Jinhae stations. Although trains have not stopped at this station since February 2015, it remains standing as a popular tourist spot due to its association with cherry blossom season. The delicate pink blooms line the tracks and nearby areas, providing a wonderful view for visitors.
this place is very famous for cherry blossoms it doesn't use anymore but still keep the station or train there. the season of cherry blossoms its spectacular I love it but so many people in there at that time so its better to go early morning

Apsan Park

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Parks
Apsan Park, situated at the lower end of Daegu, is a picturesque parkland encompassing Apsan, Sanseongsan, and Daedeoksan mountains. It offers a variety of activities such as hiking trails, a cable car ride to an observatory with stunning panoramic views of the city. The park also features leisure facilities including archery, horseback riding, and swimming at the mountain's base.
Apsan Park is good. The cable car service is a tad bit slow but I am in no rush to enjoy nature's beauty. Amazing sight in the summer. Although I have to admit Palgongsan(Mt. Palgong is better than Apsan in terms of scenic views, amenities and services), it does not diminishes Apsan charm. It costs 9,500 Won for an adult round trip. There are alot of hiking trails to choose from if you are into trail-hiking. At Apsan Lookout Observatory, you will be able to have a birds eye view of Daegu city. Definitely worth visiting.

What a hike for this mountain. I took the patriot trail which starts from the military memorial at the bottom. Lots of steep and uneven trails. There is also a good amount of stairs near the top that make it even more tiring. The view is very well worth it when you make it to the top. I did the cable car back down. There is also a nice restaurant at the top that has an English menu.
Jaymez ( — Google review
This is a beautiful mountain which is easily accessible from most parts of Daegu! I really love visiting here during fall to see the beautiful colourful leaves, but it is a great place to visit all year round. Apsan is walkable if you like hiking and it has amazing beautiful night views, however if you are like me and enjoy taking the cable car then it is also possible for around 12,000 won! There is a restaurant and coffee shop at the top and a stunning view point!

Gamcheon Culture Village

Mentioned on

Sights & Landmarks
Neighborhoods
Gamcheon Culture Village is a vibrant and picturesque attraction in Busan, South Korea. The village features colorful houses, painted murals, shops, and cafes. Nestled along the slopes of a seaside mountain, this village stands out amidst the modern skyscrapers of Busan. Originally inhabited by refugees during the Korean War, it remained underdeveloped until its revitalization in 2009.
Definitely a place worth visiting in person, the photos online really don’t do it justice! The walk up has a few uphill climbs, but it’s honestly not too bad, and every bit of effort is rewarded once you reach the top. The view of the village is absolutely stunning, peaceful, colorful, and full of charm. You can really take your time exploring the little alleys, enjoy the fresh air, and soak in the atmosphere. It’s one of those spots that feels even better in real life than it looks in pictures. A great place to relax, take photos, and just enjoy the scenery.
Javier T — Google review
Such a colorful and artistic place to explore! 🎨 The whole village feels like a giant open-air gallery with amazing murals, cute cafés, and lovely spots for photos. The view from the top is breathtaking, especially under the clear blue sky. Sitting on the yellow moon with The Little Prince statue was such a fun moment! 🌙 Definitely a must-visit when in Busan — full of charm, creativity, and great memories. 💛

What an amazing village. Originally a settlement for Korean War refugees, it has been transformed into a vibrant arts and culture area with cafés, workshops. Locals also still lives there. You can get lost for hours admiring all pieces of arts and colours. It is quite busy but it's totally worth it Map is recommended if you want to get to specific highlights

Gamcheon Culture Village is so spectacular and an absolute must see. We weren't aware of the opening time of the shops so arrived reasonably early in the morning. This however turned out to be excellent for us as the village was quiet. We met lots of friendly locals out exercising and had access to the prominent photo spots for ourselves. At one stage we sat outside the sports building, located at the top back of the village. From the top of the building, there is a viewing platform. It was not meant to open until 9am however the extremely kind staff in the building let us in and gave us a personalised escort to the roof. We had access to the whole area ourselves! The village is free to visit and is open all the time. The shops and eateries however don't open until 9am. By the time we finished taking in the views, the shops and other tourists began to arrive. This gave us a good chance to shop for souvenirs and take in more of the atmosphere. To me the village is an absolute must see!
Map R — Google review
Absolutely worth visit! Lots of super cute cafes, Lookouts, Photos spots and souvenir shops. I would allow at least a couple of hours to really take your time and explore, and go either very early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the crowds. Easy enough to get a taxi in and out.
Erin O — Google review
This place is absolutely gorgeous even though it is very busy with tourists. There are cars driving up the path (which pedestrians share with vehicles). There are a lot of incline steps or slopes. Any photo spots are just full of people with the worst waiting line spot being the little prince amd fox looking out (that was 20+ mon waiting time, a security staff will manage the queue). There are plenty of souvenir shops and cafes.

I went here on a beautiful sunny day on my first day in Busan. The views were amazing, the sun was there but the wind felt cool. I stopped by this handmade souvenir shop and bought this cute little lobster keychain and the woman who ran the store gave me a four leaf clover charm as a gift. Gamcheon has been so lovely and I hope I can see it again someday.

This district has been revitalized to support the growth of Korea's film industry. At night, the square comes alive with numerous street food tents offering popular Korean snacks like tteokbokki and dakkochi. Additionally, it is conveniently situated near various markets and shopping outlets.
It's a buzzing night markets full of street foods, and also a shopping street, with variety of brands and shops. Had the famous hotteok here, and it didn't disappoint, loved it so much! And the street foods look appealing and of course we have tried a few different types of food, chicken skewer, dumplings, fishcakes, tteokbokki etc. it was satisfying.

Interesting place to walk around in Busan. As a traveler I have been many places and the venders here are not too pushy, therefore you feel comfortable and safe. Boy do they have a lot of stuff!!! Don't bother with the jello ball, it was so weird!!! It's like jello covered in peanut butter powder or something, just a scam. The pastry fried and filled with seeds and honey, now that was good!! You can get it with cheese and honey or just honey. Very worth it, very cheap. We also tried the dumplings, very good.

Seafood market

Jagalchi Market is a world-renowned seafood market located on the edge of Nampo Port in Busan. It offers an abundance of fresh seafood, including live, dried, and pickled varieties. The market is famous for its multi-story building housing live fish vendors and restaurants, as well as outdoor market alleys filled with the aroma of seafood. Established after the Korean War, it is known for its high number of female fishmongers and is a must-see destination for curious travelers.
Came across this stall on level 2 and the owner could speak chinese so it was a very seamless and pleasant experience having our dinner here 🙂 Knowing that we are a little scared about ordering sashimi, she accommodated to us by allowing us to order an even smaller portion to try out 😊 The food came out to be very fresh, even for the ingredients in the stew 😌 Would highly recommend this store!! 🙂 We really enjoyed the whole experience as it could get very overwhelming for some with the amount of options available here 🥶
Li H — Google review
During our 4-day, 3-night stay in Busan, we ended up having brunch and lunch twice at this spot. Yes, it was that good! We went all out with the seafood (i.e: king crab, snow crab, live octopus, spicy raw crab, and of course, Korea’s signature delicacy; abalone - both grilled and in porridge form). We highly recommend the steamed king crab. It’s a must-try! And if you’re ordering the abalone porridge, pair it with the spicy raw crab. The flavors truly complement each other. Since we shared everything among the four of us, the cost was surprisingly affordable, and we ate like royalty.

Jagalchi Market is one of those Busan Things to Do. The seafood market on the ground floor is fun for tourists to explore and take photos of the live wiggly seafood. The upstairs contains all the food stalls and dry seafood vendors. There are about 50 food stalls and seating for thousands. It is built to cater to tourists. We were there for a late lunch/early dinner at about 4pm on a dreary October Thursday, so it was pretty empty. We were hungry and decided to to try a Jagalchi food stall. FWIW, we chose Food Stall No. 9 "Yong Gong" because the old lady seemed nice. We ordered fresh grilled eel and seafood onion pancake, plus drinks. Well, the seafood was fresh (but I always select places where the seafood is supposed to be fresh (unless it is something like a McDonald's filet-o-fish sandwich) and I am rarely disappointed. Any place that sells marginal seafood does not last long. The total price of KRW76,000 was one of our three highest priced meals during our trip. Not outrageous, but we ate at a small seafood restaurant in a back alley near Gwangalli for about the same price and that meal and dining experience was a superb 5*. If comparing the two places, I would only give Jagalchi 3*. But I got a touristy photo proving that I was there, so that counts for something.

Downstairs is the fresh market, upstairs is the restaurant. You can buy stuff downstairs and they can cook it upstairs or you can just go upstairs and order from the menu and they'll cook it all for you, which is what my mom and I did. It's easier. All the restaurants upstairs almost sells all the same things, but we opted to go to stall 41 named Chung Cheong do. Owned by an older couple very nice. They didn't pressure you to buy! Because it can get overwhelming. They just explained what the menu was and what they can do for you. We really like this place because if you order the sashimi, you get a soup with it. They'll boil the fish and the bone into the spicy soup shown in the picture. Everything was very fresh very delicious and my mom is a picky eater so she knows quality. We came back to the same place for late lunch and ordered the clams and steamed king crab!

There are some local seafood stores outaide the Jagalchi Marjet building, these are more for people to buy seafood for home cooking. The onsode of the Jagalchi market has many seafood stores and you are able to select seafood of your choice and be sent upstairs for cooking (it requires additional cooking fee). The cooking fee is standardised across all kitchen and generally the seafood shop have their recommended one (so you can't really choose which stall to kitchen to cook for you). There is a seating fee of 5000 WON per person; seafood steaming is 10000 WON, other cooking style is 20000 WON. Most seafood store owners can speak soke broken engly, communication isn't too difficult. It was a fun experience to shop around, seeing fresh seafood in a wet market. There are a great selection of local seafood that are often unheard of overseas.
Alice — Google review
I am from a coastal town so the market wasn't anything new for me, dishes that were unique to the South Korea was something to see. We were a large group and took a walk around teg market with our guide. Noticed that not all stall owners were friendly, I agree that if we are not buying why stand in front of their stall and waste time. But a few of them were darlings and explained all the dishes that can be made with them. I met a a few extremely friendly people at the market.
Mallika J — Google review
Very touristy destination but we found that prices weren't too unreasonable. The ground floor has many seafood vendors, and once you pick one you can ask for it to be cooked and served upstairs. All the vendors have pretty much the same variety of seafood, so you just need to pick your favourite in terms of prices and communication. Overall very enjoyable, just need to be aware of tourist pricing.

Yongdusan Park, located in downtown Busan, is a sprawling mountain park spanning 69,000 square meters. The park boasts over 70 species of trees and is adorned with various stone statues depicting Korean heroes. One of its main attractions is the iconic Busan Tower, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Visitors can explore galleries and souvenir shops inside the tower or leave a love lock as a romantic gesture.
It’s incredible that the entrance of this park is right in the middle of the street. 2/4 escalators didn’t work so there were quite some stairs to climb. The park is very clean, there are swing benches and even on the way there is an outdoor “gym”. At the top, you can find Busan tower.
Priyanka R — Google review
The park is quite clean and not many people were there. Escalator was functioning going up the hill where the Busan tower is. Quite high. I think it’s like 5-6 times of the escalator size in the photo. With the escalator, the journey going up wasn’t bad and took less than 10mins. Going down is just via stairs and quite fast. Lovely place up there. Took a break on the swing enjoying the humid weather and spent a little while taking photos. Once you’re up on the hill, there’s like small colourful shops selling souveniors etc. Some were closed when we were there. Spent like about half and hour or so. Great view and it was okay if you have extra time to spend in Busan.

It is a park consisting of a small hill that passes through the entrance of the old American Cultural Center and passes through the Central Cathedral. Nearby are Daecheong-dong, Nampo-dong, Gwangbok-dong, Bupyeong-dong, Jagalchi and International Market. The Yongdusan Tower, which was completed when I was in middle school, was a landmark of Busan at the time, but now it can be said to be a place of memories. There is an escalator leading to Nampo-dong, making it convenient for the elderly to visit.

Taejongdae Resort Park in Busan is a stunning clifftop park area that offers breathtaking views of the sea. The park features an observatory, a lighthouse, and even a train ride for visitors to enjoy. It is located on Yeongdo Island and boasts dense evergreen woodland and rocky coasts with cliffs and caves.
Stunning coastal views, especially from the lighthouse and observation decks. The walking paths through lush greenery are peaceful, and the cliffs provide breathtaking scenery. The Danubi train is a great option if you prefer a more leisurely tour. A must-visit in Busan!

Taejongdae is an iconic park in Busan. It took me ~2hrs to walk finish the mountain, including visiting some of the landmarks like the observatory and lighthouse. It's a relatively easy hike - it's a sloped ground with many water fountain and benches for you to rest. Some landmarks might be more challenging such as the lighthouse as there are many stairs. Overall, it's quite safe and simple to walk around the park. The views are quite nice - you can see the ocean from several spots at the park. Sinseon rock has been closed due to rocks falling. There's also a train that can bring you to various checkpoints around the park if you don't want to walk too much. I didn't take the train so I can't comment too much about it. The observatory has a cat, and a stall that sells snacks for the kitty 🐱

The last time I came here was over five years ago, and the scenery is still the same. This time, I took a train to go around. You have to board the train right after buying a ticket; otherwise, you need to change the time. One person in my group was in the restroom when I bought the tickets, so we had to change them to the next train. I highly recommend coming here early and spending some time walking down to the beach. Since we arrived a bit late, we only managed a quick visit by train.

Taejongdae Resort Park is a must-visit when in Busan! The hiking trails, observation deck, and lighthouse offer breathtaking views of the sea that make any trip memorable. At the observation deck, there's a convenient restaurant and store where I enjoyed some ice cream and a refreshing drink—a nice touch to a day of exploring. There are also plenty of friendly stray cats around, which is a bonus for cat lovers. Although the temple was somewhat underwhelming, everything else more than made up for it. The climb to the lighthouse is a bit steep and narrow, especially with two-way traffic, but the panoramic view at the top is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience the beauty of Busan's coastline!

Great place with lots to see! The train takes you around the park and there are many landmarks and points of interest along the route. Toilets are everywhere and there are also cafes and shops along the route. I enjoyed the view over the water from the observatory and the lighthouse. Tickets cost a couple of thousand won each for the train and I think the parking had a small fee also. Probably best to visit in the summer, though even when I visited in winter it was a nice experience.

It's a great quiet place to visit! Beautiful nature, number of awesome spots for taking pictures, Buddhist temples-Taejongdae has it all. However, if you go during summer, make sure to take water and panama hats/caps with you as the road up the hill is steep and long!

The architecture is stunning: intricate woodwork, bright dancheong patterns, and centuries-old pagodas that somehow feel both grand and humble. Even with other visitors around, it never loses that sense of serenity. The views are also incredible. The temple sits high enough that you can see the forested hills rolling out below, especially if you take a short hike up behind the complex. It’s the perfect balance of culture and nature. Whether you’re into history, photography, or just looking for a peaceful place to recharge, Beomeosa Temple is a must-see in Busan. It’s not just a visit - it’s an experience that stays with you.

Quite a big temple complex with multiple buildings (ci 10). Partially closed when people are meditating, but almost everything is accessible. There is also a nice little garden at the foot of the complex with memorial animals / plaques. Can easily spend 1-1.5 hours here. Little tourist shop sell statues and arm braces and such. I combined this with visit to seokbulsa temple, which in my view is much more impressive.

Easy inexpensive access from the city by subway and bus. Atmospheric peaceful visit in a snow storm. I think it's a must do on a visit to Busan.

Haeundae Beach

Mentioned on

Beach
Nature & Parks
Haeundae Beach is a top tourist spot in Busan, boasting a 1.5km-long white sandy coastline and stunning views of the skyline. It offers optimal conditions for swimming with its shallow waters and calm waves. Throughout the year, various events and festivals take place here, including the Sunrise Festival and Sea Festival. The beach is also adorned with romantic landscape lighting along its stretch, creating a beautiful atmosphere from sunset to midnight every day.
I was lucky to visit the area during the weekday and avoid the crowds but I heard that this place will get packed with people if you come during the weekend. Still, because there weren't many people, I was able to enjoy the beach peacefully!

Haeundae Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Korea. The sand is clean, the view is beautiful, and the atmosphere is lively — perfect for swimming, relaxing, or enjoying seaside festivals in Busan.

The cool breeze of the water was so so therapeutic. It’s such a clean, well maintained beach 🏝️ surrounded by the tall buildings of the city. There’s proper washrooms to change, water taps to clean the mud on feet 🦶 and so much facilities. Loved it ❤️❤️

Busan’s most iconic and Korea’s most famous beach, Haeundae Beach, features a wide, clean white sand shoreline, a refreshing sea breeze, and a dazzling city skyline in perfect harmony. During the day, Haeundae is vibrant and bustling with people enjoying various marine leisure activities such as swimming, surfing, and paddleboarding. The fine sand and shallow water make it ideal for families. Evening & Night Charm: At sunset, Haeundae’s appeal reaches its peak. The lights from the Marine City skyscrapers and the night view of Gwangan Bridge reflect on the water, creating a spectacular scene. Gunam-ro Culture Square, located behind the beach, comes alive every night with busking performances and street food, offering a lively and exciting nightlife. Must-Visit Nearby Spots: Dongbaekseom Island (동백섬): Located at the western end of the beach, this island features a beautiful walking trail that circles the area. You can see the Nurimaru APEC House (a symbol of Busan), a mermaid statue, and a lighthouse. Visiting around sunset is highly recommended. The Bay 101 (더베이 101): This marina near the entrance of Dongbaekseom Island offers breathtaking views of the Marine City skyline at night. Enjoy beer and fish and chips while experiencing one of Busan’s best photo spots. Haeundae Blue Line Park (블루라인 파크): Take the Sky Capsule or Beach Train from Mipo Station to create special memories as you travel along the beautiful coastline connecting Haeundae to Songjeong.

We only visited Haeundae Beach for a few hours in October after visiting Haedong Yonggungsa and taking the Blueline Park train to Mipo. The Beach is nice, but I found Gwangalli Beach (where we stayed 4 nights) to be more vibrant and exciting wuth its panoramic view of Gwangan Bridge and rhe Saturday night drone light shows.

Beautiful beach. Make sure you get to the benches quickly. People reserve them with personal belongings. Dogs and kids are free roaming on this beach. Lots of restaurant options a s some with science views of the beach. Beautiful during sunset.

This is the biggest and most famous beach in the Busan area. I come here every time I’m in Busan and always enjoy my time. I think it’s best to visit during sunset. Since it’s hard to catch a taxi around this area during rush hour, taking the subway to and from the beach is the best choice.

Haeundae Beach is one of those famous spots you have to see once. It’s clean, easy to access, and has a great boardwalk with cafés and restaurants nearby. But it can get kind of cloudy in the fall, which takes away some of the vibes. Still, the view of the ocean with the skyline behind it is beautiful, and there’s something nice about just walking along the sand with a coffee in hand. Go early morning or at sunset for the best experience.

A beautiful Unesco world heritage destination. The temple itself is quite large and I was lucky enough to hear a prayer during my time there. The walking path to the temple (if you don't have a car) is about 1.2km and is a very easy walk along the river. There were quite a few people when I went but other than that it was a good time. Entrance fee for adults is 3,000 won

History is a virtue and should never be forgotten. 457 years of history lies at this very place. It is the second largest Buddhist temple shrine in South Korea. This place feels very holy and rich with culture and is visibly shown in the architecture. Please visit this site when you are in Korea.

Gijang Market is a bustling outdoor market located about 6 to 7 km from Busan's famous Water Temple. It offers a wide variety of goods, with a specialization in fresh crabs and lobsters. The market is known for its delicious snow crabs, which are particularly popular among visitors. In addition to seafood, the market also sells agricultural products such as seaweed, anchovies, and cutlass fish during specific seasons.
If you want to enjoy cheap and delicious king crab, you definitely have to come here!
Heath Y — Google review
This was absolutely delicious and absolutely worth the trek. We went up to one random store at the main corner of the market (photo attached) and got a king crab. 65,000 won for 1kg. 2kg crab + fried rice (6k) + service charge for 2 people (6k) made it not the cheapest meal but an excellent value for money considering the price and quality of the meal. The crab was delicious. We went to their restaurant on the second floor where other locals were eating (look for this sign) and were served some delicious appetizers by a very friendly staff member. Amazing experience. For quality shellfish do be sure to make the trek out here.

Pretty cool outdoor market selling all kinds of seafood that you can eat at local eateries. You pick it and then eat it. Very fresh.
David V — Google review
The Gijang market feel vibrant. It really gives off the vibe. Also, you could buy live seafood, especially snow & king crab with reasonable prices. I recommend you'd better to visit and buy with locals. Not bad to visit.

A local market mainly sells seafood. Some seafood restaurants. Fresh and cheap. As the seafood is alive and fresh, steaming is good enough😋

Karl C — Google review
Review for the basement crab restaurant on the picture below. AVOID AVOID AVOID The place is a scam because 1. They give you a different crab to what you order 2. They unexpectedly charge you table space per person. So 2 of us were unexpectedly charged extra 8,000 kWON 3. They unexpectedly charge you for small dishes that you never ordered. Also at least 4,000 per person. 4. They are very rude 5. Waiting time for getting wrong crab served is ridiculous. It took us about an hour to even get it on the table Conclusion: try to find a better crab restaurant and keep an eye for the crab that you order and check the total fee before you walk in. Because once you walk in and want to leave they can get aggressive
