Tour Plan

The Daritdol Skywalk is crafted in the shape of a blue dragon, believed to be the guardian spirit of Cheongsapo Village. The skywalk features a transparent glass floor, allowing visitors to experience the exhilarating thrill of walking 20 meters above the sea. The name "Daritdol" originates from the appearance of the rocky outcrops in front of the skywalk, which seem to form a stepping stone path leading all the way to the Twin Lighthouses. As you take in the stunning views, keep an eye on the waters below—you might just spot the haenyeo, traditional female divers, still at work in the ocean today.

Haedong Yonggungsa is a breathtaking temple located on the coast of Busan, making it one of the most unique temples in South Korea. Founded in 1376, this temple stands out from others that are typically nestled in the mountains, as it is situated right by the sea, offering a completely different atmosphere. The temple's name, which translates to "East Sea Dragon Palace Temple," is rooted in a legend that a dragon ascended from the sea to bring divine energy to the area.

One of the temple's most captivating features is the harmonious blend of the temple's architecture with the stunning coastal scenery. To reach the temple, visitors must descend 108 steps, and as they do, they are greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea. Haedong Yonggungsa is especially famous as a prime spot to watch the sunrise, with many visitors arriving early in the morning to witness the spectacular scene of the sun rising over the East Sea, casting its golden light over the temple.

This restaurant(Andong Barley Rice) is renowned for offering wholesome and delicious Korean cuisine. The chewy barley rice, topped with fresh vegetables, savory sesame oil, and gochujang (Korean chili paste), creates a dish that embodies the authentic flavors of traditional Korean food. The side dishes, made fresh daily with seasonal ingredients, add to the dining experience by offering a true taste of Korea.

It offers a variety of vegetable-based dishes that vegetarians can enjoy, while also serving excellent grilled fish, marinated pork, and beef for those who prefer meat. This versatility makes Andong Boribap Restaurant a place where everyone can find something to love, whether you're dining with family, friends, or a group with diverse tastes. During your visit to Gijang, I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant to enjoy a traditional Korean meal in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

The Samik Beach Apartments in Busan are a breathtaking sight during cherry blossom season, typically from mid-March to early April. Imagine vibrant, rainbow-colored apartment buildings beautifully contrasted with vivid pink cherry blossoms. The cherry trees bloom so profusely that they create a canopy of flowers, almost completely obscuring the sky.

As you stroll through the area, you’ll be immersed in a sea of delicate pink petals, with the bright, colorful buildings providing a stunning backdrop. This picturesque scene is a must-visit for tourists, offering an unforgettable experience and countless photo opportunities. Whether you're a nature lover, photography enthusiast, or simply seeking a serene escape, the Samik Beach Apartments during cherry blossom season are sure to captivate your heart and leave you with lasting memories.

This market originated from the fact that women who fled after the Korean War started selling fish here. Now, thanks to its size, type of sea food, and cleanliness, it has become a representative fish market in Korea. There is a famous slogan in this market.

    Exploring the scenic views from the Beomeosa Temple was a highlight of my day in Busan, offering a perfect blend of tranquility and beauty. While the private minibus made getting around easy, I found the time spent at the bustling Jagalchi Fish Market slightly rushed, which was a missed opportunity to soak in the vibrant atmosphere.

    We loved taking our private minibus through Busan and especially enjoyed exploring the bustling markets where we tried some delicious street food. While the temples were stunning and offered breathtaking views, we felt that the time at each stop could have been a bit longer to fully soak everything in.

    Our family had a memorable day navigating the vibrant markets and serene temples of Busan in our private minibus. The visit to Beomeosa Temple stood out, with its peaceful ambiance and stunning architecture providing a perfect contrast to the bustling streets we explored later. While the pace was generally enjoyable, we found ourselves wishing for a bit more time at some of the scenic spots.
