Busan City Highlights by KTX from Seoul

  1. Jagalchi Market: It is Korea's largest seafood market. After the Korean War, it established itself as a fish market. This market represents Busan and is famous throughout the country. If you visit, you can eat fresh raw fish right at the market.

  2. Busan Gamcheon Culture Village: Gamcheon was a refuge for many people fleeing to Busan during the Korean War. The creative urban regeneration project started in 2010, and its success attracts 1,400,000 Korean and foreign tourists to the village annually. This has earned the village the nickname "Machu Picchu of Busan."

  3. Haeundae Beach: It is the most famous beach in Busan. The white sand beach is roughly 1.5 km long and 30-50 m wide, creating a beautiful coastline before a shallow bay, making Haeundae Beach perfect for swimming.

  4. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: It is situated on the coast in the northeastern part of Busan. This superb attraction offers visitors the rare chance to find a temple along the shoreline, as most temples in Korea are in the mountains.

  5. Gukje Market: One of the traditional markets in Korea, Gukje Market was first formed when refugees who fled to Busan set up stalls to make a living after the Korean War. There is a wide variety of goods, so you can walk around and check out some food stalls.

  6. Dongbaekseom: Its name translates to Camellia, which grows on islands in the southern provinces and coastal areas of Korea, blossoming around March. The leaves are thick and glossy, maintaining a dark green colour through all four seasons. The Nurimaru APEC House is a three-story building built exclusively for the island's final summit meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference.
