  Ever wondered what’s in Busan? Well, Busan is a combination of an urban metropolis vibe and the laid back attitude of a beach resort.

  Busan is also South Korea’s second largest city and the most important seaport.

  Here are some tourist spots who might want to consider when travelling to Busan:

  Beomeosa Temple

  

  A 1,300 year old Buddhist temple constructed by monk Ui Sang in 678.

  The temple holds numerous historical artifacts such as the Three-story Pagoda and the main hall Daeungjeon which is one of the most delicate and luxurious architectures of Joseon dynasty.

  Jagalchi Fish Market

  

  Jagalchi Fish Market is a popular tourist attraction because it is the largest seafood market in Korea.

  You’ll be able to buy fresh fish there and cook it in one of the restaurants near it just like having a ‘dampa’ experience outside our country.

  Haeundae Beach

  

  The district of Haeundae in eastern Busan is a popular beachside location. Haeundae Beach is also considered as the most famous beach in the South Korea.

  The beach gets extremely crowded during the summer months because of its long beach filled with colorful parasols. Many cultural events and festivals are also held on Haeundae Beach throughout the year.

  Changseondong Meokja Golmok

  

  A food alley that offers a wide choice of low cost and delicious authentic Korean food.

  The Chungmu Kimbab, Bibimbab and Pajeon are the best sellers of Changseondong Meokja Golmok.

  Busan Aquarium

  

  The Busan Aquarium is just located at the entrance of Haeundae Beach. It is a state-of-the-art submarine themed aquarium which contains 35,000 species of fish, algae, reptiles and amphibians.

  The tunnel experience in Busan Aquarium resembles a walk along the ocean floor with different sea creatures swimming above tourists.
