#Busan From the archival photos of Busan, I forgot to show you the walking route along the rocky coast - Igidae Park Path. It's just a very beautiful place that's definitely worth visiting if you ever find yourself in Busan.

#Busan #Review In conclusion about Busan During my five working days in Busan, I didn't get bored. But at the same time, I probably visited 90% of what I wanted to see. After all, Busan isn't as big as Seoul, so it's not worth spending weeks exploring it.…

#Busan In addition to the Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. Firstly, there are ridiculous statues of mythological Chinese zodiac animals at the entrance. This is a common practice, but if they look pompous in Hong Kong, here they're rather funny (especially the…
#Busan
#Busan The tourist tram will take you to the north of the city, just a kilometer away from one of the most famous Korean Buddhist temples, Haedong Yonggungsa. At the entrance, there's a sign that reads "the most beautiful temple in Korea" - the guys sure…

#Busan From Hwangde Beach, you can take one of the rare Korean trams to the northern part of Busan. I'd say this attraction is a bit of a tourist trap, as all guides heavily promote the sky cabin, i.e. the upper tram route, which costs a whopping $22 for a…
#Busan
#Busan Well, why all these Dubais? The famous Hwangde Beach, just like on a tourist postcard. If you've ever googled Busan, you've probably seen these skyscrapers standing right by the coast at least once. In summer in Korea, it's 30 degrees every day, so…

#Busan A pleasant discovery in Gamcheon Village - a traditional tea house run by a Korean grandmother. A small two-story house with a veranda on the top floor, where you can enjoy the view of the village over a cup of tea. The assortment is small, but as I…

#Busan Gamcheon Village In the southeast of Busan, there's Gamcheon Village, which has gained popularity due to its colorful houses. There's no historical legend here - since the 1950s, it was an ordinary poor settlement, and it wasn't until 2009 that local…

#Busan Alright guys, don't get mad. Here are some examples of how NOT to build residential areas, and all in the same Busan. Everything we dislike - huge prefabricated buildings (sometimes not the best quality), multi-lane highways, and zero infrastructure…
#Busan
#Busan A collection of how Koreans approach road markings and sidewalk design. And this isn't even the capital, just a major regional city! There are already dividers for cars, signs for the blind, bike lanes, and green barriers along the sidewalks. While…

#Busan The Korean Chinatown and... Oh my God, what is this even?? I think I've ended up in the local Brighton Beach!
#Busan
#Busan I ended up in an interesting area. It seems to be the city center, but the vibe is more like a Thai resort street.
I went to #Busan for 5 days.
I went to #Busan for 5 days. I debated for a long time whether it was worth spending so much time in Busan, but I still decided that in the second-most populous city of Korea, I'd find something to do. And overall, I didn't regret it - I should have even…
#Seoul -> #Busan
#Seoul -> #Busan Yeah, the express train to Busan is definitely not a Shinkansen. Judging by the vibe, it's more like our Sapsan. At least it's going fast - you can travel across the entire 400-kilometer-long country in 2.5 hours. I wanted to watch "Train…
