Listen "Ep 84 - Beautilful Busan"
Episode Synopsis
We spent two really fun days in Busan during our week-long trip to South Korea.
Listen to the previous episode about our stay in Seoul!
Busan is on the southern coast of South Korea and is the country's 2nd largest city.
To get there, we took a high-speed KTX train from Seoul to Busan (No, I did not watch the movie). The train was super nice with free wifi as well!
Our hotel in Busan was also amazing! It was on the 15th floor overlooking the beach, which provided an awesome view.
First, we went to the Gamcheon Culture Village, which is on top of a mountain. We drove to the top (using taxi) and walked our way around, This was a super fun place to walk around because there were many shops set up selling different things, but also there was a beautiful mountain view. One of my favorite things from the trip for sure.
We then went to the beach near our hotel. It was the Sea of Japan, and and was super cold, but I LOVE THE WATER so I enjoyed splashing around it in. It was super pretty with the bridge and mountains and buildings in the background.
The sunset was stunning! The backdrop of the city lights, the ocean and the mountains created one of the best sunsets I have seen.
The next day before our train, we headed back to the beach, dipped our feet again, and then headed to Hwangnyeongsan mountain. We drove up to the observation area, and hiked a little farther up. The view was soooo pretty and our cameras did not do it justice. It was really quiet and peaceful.
It was a quick trip but I am really glad we visited Busan. The train ride, the beach, the people, the markets - all memories I will remember forever!
