Day 01

After your guide picks you up at Busan International Cruise Port, you will head to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple. This place offers tourists a chance to know two birds with one stone- head up for second-to-none panoramic views of the ocean against the city, and learn more about traditional Korean religion.It has beautiful ocean view at sky walk! Transparent deck makes it more appealing!If you are history buff, you would like this place. You will observe the dedication made by the heroic soldiers at that time feeling the spiritual atmosphere even at the entrance.Jagalchi Fish market is a stone’s throw from Gamcheon Culture Village. You can also try plenty of street food in BIFF Square(Busan Internaitonal Film Festival) which is known as movie street nationwide. You can try what most Koreans love to snack on whenever they visit parks or whatever - silkworm pupa and pig skin. Don’t miss the best hotteok(Korean street food) there.Are you interested in Busan’s modern district? Then hit BIFF Square. There are events such as hand printing of movie celebrities and Nunggot Jeomdeung(snow- flower lighting). You can also try plenty of street food in BIFF Square.It's a market where you can find so many different products from all over the world! Kukje means "international"Gamcheon Culture Village is lot more colourful now than what it used to be in the 1950s when Korean refugees fled for safety to Busan(the only place in Korean peninsula that was war-free). The small population of the hillside- and coastal village quickly grew as makeshift houses from wood, rocks and corrugated iron popped up everywhere.
