Busan has long been one of the main ports of Korea. Currently, it is its largest port and the second largest city in the country. The rich history of this picturesque and dynamic metropolis has left its traces in its appearance: here you will also find artifacts related to the Korean War of 1950-1953 - the UN Memorial Cemetery, etc. "International market"; and Buddhist monasteries, ancient and modern, but surprisingly colorful; and landscaped seaside parks; and beautiful beaches.

Haedong Yonggungsa Buddhist Temple

The name of the temple literally translates to "Dragon Palace Temple of the Country East of the Sea", 해동용궁사 海東龍宮寺.

The construction of the temple was completed in the 2nd year of Wu-wang's reign in 1376.

The temple was built by the sea thanks to the prophetic dream of the founder of the temple, the teacher [king - van] Hegyn. In a dream, a Dragon appeared to him (whose responsibility includes the seas and oceans) and "advised" to build a temple on the seashore, devote himself entirely to prayers - and then the great drought that Korea suffered from would pass ... Initially, the temple was called Pomunsa.

The current name of the temple was given in the 1970s. The abbot responsible for the restoration of the temple named it so after the Bodhisattva of Mercy appeared to him in a dream.

Haeundae Beach; Camellia Island

Most popular beach in Busan and a vivid resort district.

Gwangan Bridge

A picturesque 2-storey bridge over the sea in Busan is one of its most exquiste landmarks.

Jagalchi Fish Market

The largest seafood market in Korea, where you can see all kinds of marine creatures, both from the plant and animal worlds (and from the border worlds too!).

You can also eat deliciously at the market: fried or raw fish, as well as seafood, is served at the table in numerous restaurants in the market.

If you prefer something less exotic, we recommend the food court at the Lotte department store next door. The observation deck at the department store offers a magnificent view of Busan from a bird's eye view.
