Copy link [Naver Map] Busan https://naver.me/FUz9sA1I

Guys, I was a broke student then on a tight budget, is this was my random plans that I had when I was in Busan.

As Busan literally has ‘mountain-San’ in its name, it has plenty of scenic spots and the city is pretty much divided by high mountains.

Day 0,

- Arrive at Busan Station, KTX

- lunch

- Check In

- Shinsaegae Spa

- recommend Gwangali Beach at night cos the bridge will light up

Day 1 (first full day)

- Busan Air Cruise: (one way Songdo Bay Station to Songdo Sky Park)

- Light snack / lunch at Songdo Bay (nice views)

- Walked down to Songdo Coastal Bolle - Songdo Ocean Park

- Bus to Gamcheon Cultural Village (spend more time here, sunsets should be beautiful here)

- took Bus + subway to Dadaepo Beach (next to Subway stop, suggest to come if you have time before sunset (when you come in late spring or summer)

- Busan Diamond Tower - views from the tower base were good enough, escalators from street level, shopping and nightlife around Nampo Station

Day 2

- Busan Museum

- bus to Oryukdo Sunrise Park

- Had some fresh Abalone from the Haeneo Aunties

- Bus and train to Gwanghwali Bridge (it’s also lit up at night btw)

- suggest to go Haeeundae Blue Rail (it was not up in 2018)

- being random and decided to spend the evening at Water House of Ananti Cove Hilton Busan (they have heated swimming pools, you can wear your swimming suits, so it’s good for couples.

💰Night pass (Weekday 6pm-10pm): 32kW adult / Child 19kW****

They have a shuttle service from Osiria Station. Along the hotel complex there are some shops, a coastal walk to watch the sunset and Harding Yonggungsa Temple (1km away)

Day 3 (Beomeosa/Geumgang Fortress Hike / Dongnae)

- I started the hike by taking a train and Bus to Beomeosa temple

- managed to Geumgang North Gate, but I got lost near the east gate, managed to find a town and took a bus to Dongnae and soaked a while at the free out door bath.

- the real path is Beomeosa> North Gate >East Gate, South Gate and then to the Geumgang Park Ropeway.

There should be a Buddhist Hyejeongam Hermitage near the Ropeway station

- easy mode: Take the Ropeway up from Geumgang Park, visit Hyejeongam Hermitage, and then Hike up to the South Gate and turn back from there.

Last day: if you are leaving from the airport: (afternoon flights)

- take train to Hadan station,

- take bus to Eulsukdo Island Eco Centre

- they have a tram ride to see the wetlands and Migratory birds

- take a bus/taxi to Gimhae Int Airport

🙂: Meh cos it wasn’t the right season (May)
