Highlights
  • Haedong Yonggungsa - Experience Buddhist culture by visiting traditional Korean temples and participate in an event where you can write your wishes on leaves and pray.

Founded in 1376 (2nd year of King U’s reign) during the Goryeo Dynasty by Hyegeun, the royal preceptor of King Gongmin, it was later destroyed during the Japanese invasions of Korea and rebuilt in the early 1930s. In 1974, Jeongam took office and prayed for the temple’s restoration as Avalokitesvara. He dreamt of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva dressed in white ascending to heaven on a dragon, leading to the temple’s renaming to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.

  • Ahopsan Forest - Located at the foot of Nine Mountain in Cheolma-myeon, Gijang, Busan, this forest offers an untouched natural environment and ecology. It features artificial forests like bamboo, cypress, cedar, and ginkgo trees, as well as natural forests with Geumgang pine trees aged 100 to 300 years. This private forest, maintained for about 400 years, allows entry only to those with advance reservations to protect nature. Unlike amusement parks, viewing is allowed only if nature is not harmed, but there are forest experience and play programs for children, along with forest explanations. It is also a popular filming location for Korean dramas and movies.
  • Lotte World Adventure Busan - A magical and fantastical world! Lotte World Adventure is designed for you to fully enjoy the refreshing and thrilling forest experience.

Lory Castle in the Royal Garden Zone, located at the highest point in Lotte World, appears to float on water, offering panoramic views of Busan and the sea off Gijang. The excitement of rides like Giant Digger and Giant Splash is already spreading by word of mouth. Indoor attractions ensure children can enjoy them safely regardless of the weather. The parade, a highlight of the amusement park, runs twice daily for about 30 minutes.
  • Haeundae Blue Line Park - Haeundae Blue Line Park offers tours of Haeundae, an international tourist city.

  • Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan - Gamcheon Culture Village began in the 1950s as a home for Korean refugees and continues to preserve the history of Busan, reflecting the nation’s modern history. The uniqueness of Gamman Bay is demonstrated by the terraced residential structures arranged in an orderly manner along the mountain and the maze of alleyways leading to all paths. The 『Village Art Project』, started by local artists and residents to preserve Gamcheon’s characteristics and historical value, became a stepping stone for creating Gamcheon Cultural Village. Various public contests were attracted, and in 2015, about 1.4 million people visited, making it a popular attraction.
  • Yongdusan Park - Yongdusan Mountain is one of Busan’s three famous mountains.

Yongdusan Park features the Busan Tower Observatory, the statue of King Lee Chung-mu, the statue of Baeksan Ahn Hee-jae, the bell pavilion, the flower clock, and the dragon-shaped statue.

Great satisfaction. Day Tours from Seoul - On a day trip from Seoul, I took a four-hour tour. (Busan Station → Haedong Yonggungsa Temple → Snacks at a food stall → Arareyama → High school visit where Jimin attended → Snacks and shopping at Jimin's Dad's cafe → Busan Station) I emailed them beforehand to let them know where I wanted to go and what I wanted. This wish (I want to go to the high school Jimin attended at BTS and the cafe run by Jimin's dad! etc.) and organized the tour as we really requested. The conversation was in English, but when I told her that my daughter was learning Korean, she spoke to me in Korean and spoke in simple English, so I was very relaxed. After all, to make the guide's stay good-natured and meaningful, I felt kind at every turn, and I was really glad I went to Busan. He took a lot of photos and later sent them to me via LINE. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
