Activity itinerary

Ahopsan Forest
  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
Ahopsan Forest, located in Busan, South Korea, is a hidden gem known for its natural beauty and cultural significance. This forest gets its name from the nine peaks surrounding it, and for over 400 years, it has been preserved by the Moon family. The forest’s towering bamboo groves and serene trails make it a perfect escape for nature lovers. Ahopsan Forest gained popularity as the backdrop for various Korean dramas, including "The King: Eternal Monarch", among others. Its mystical and tranquil atmosphere has captivated filmmakers and visitors alike. Walking through its peaceful trails, visitors can enjoy the dense bamboo forests and the ancient Geumgang pines, adding to the unique charm of the place. Aside from its natural allure, Ahopsan also holds historical significance with Gwanmiheon, a traditional Korean house built without nails by the Moon family, blending seamlessly with the forest. This hanok reflects the harmonious relationship between nature and architecture in Korea.
Haedong Yonggungsa
  • 1h
Haedong Yonggungsa is a breathtaking temple located on the coast of Busan, making it one of the most unique temples in South Korea. Founded in 1376, this temple stands out from others that are typically nestled in the mountains, as it is situated right by the sea, offering a completely different atmosphere. The temple's name, which translates to "East Sea Dragon Palace Temple," is rooted in a legend that a dragon ascended from the sea to bring divine energy to the area. One of the temple's most captivating features is the harmonious blend of the temple's architecture with the stunning coastal scenery. To reach the temple, visitors must descend 108 steps, and as they do, they are greeted by a breathtaking view of the sea. Haedong Yonggungsa is especially famous as a prime spot to watch the sunrise, with many visitors arriving early in the morning to witness the spectacular scene of the sun rising over the East Sea, casting its golden light over the temple.
Gwangandaegyo Bridge (Pass by)
Gwangan Bridge, also known as the Diamond Bridge, is an iconic landmark in Busan, South Korea. The bridge spans 7.4 kilometres across the Gwangalli Beach and is particularly stunning at night when it is illuminated by thousands of colourful LED lights, creating a spectacular light show. The bridge offers panoramic views of the city and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, who come to take in the breathtaking views and enjoy a leisurely stroll or bike ride along the promenade. Gwangan Bridge is also the setting for various events and festivals throughout the year, including the annual Busan Fireworks Festival, which attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world. If you're looking for a romantic spot to watch the sunset or simply want to enjoy the stunning views of Busan, Gwangan Bridge is a must-visit destination.
Bupyeong Kkangtong Market
  • 1h
the Bupyeong Kkangtong Market stands as a beacon of tradition and history, established in 1910. This market, initially favoured by Japanese residents during the colonial era, transformed into a Korean hub post-liberation. During the Korean War, it served as a vital resource for refugees to acquire necessities. The market earned its unique name 'Kkangtong' (meaning 'tin can') as it became a trading ground for canned goods and various items from US military bases. Post-war, it buzzed with energy from refugees from all over the country, evolving into a must-visit spot in Busan's international market scene. Today, Bupyeong Kkangtong Market is renowned for its vibrant array of food and sights. Visitors can savour fresh seafood dishes, Busan's signature dishes like milmyeon (wheat noodles) and dwaeji gukbap (pork soup), and popular snacks like bibimdangmyeon (spicy glass noodles), yubu jeongol (tofu stew), oden (fish cake), and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes).
Busan Gamcheon Culture Village
  • 1h
Gamcheon Culture Village is a place where the rich history of post-war refugees and vibrant modern culture come together. Originally built by those who fled to Busan during the Korean War, the village was once a collection of modest, makeshift houses on steep hillsides. Over time, it has evolved into a lively cultural destination while preserving the traces of its past. Visitors can wander through the narrow alleyways and maze-like streets, discovering the village’s unique architecture and gaining insight into the lives of its early inhabitants. The biggest charm of Gamcheon Culture Village is its visually striking beauty, with colourful houses that look like stacked LEGO blocks. Landmarks such as the "Little Prince and the Fox" statue overlooking the village, and murals of BTS members Jimin and Jungkook, are popular attractions for fans and tourists alike. Gamcheon Culture Village blends art, history, and vibrant culture, offering visitors a unique and unforgettable experience.
Songdo Yonggung Cloud Bridge
  • 40m
  • Admission ticket not included
Among Busan's four skywalks, this one is the largest and most beautiful, making it the only location where an admission fee is required. Imagine standing on a bridge, suspended 25 metres above the sparkling blue waters, with panoramic views of the bustling Busan coast. This striking pedestrian bridge connects the scenic Amnam Park to the uninhabited Dongdo Island, offering a unique vantage point to soak in the natural beauty of South Korea's coastal city. The bridge was originally established in 1965 and later rebuilt in 2020, it spans 127 metres, providing a stable yet thrilling walkway high above the sea. This isn't just a bridge; it's a gateway to some of Busan's most picturesque landscapes. Whether you're a photographer looking for that perfect shot, a nature lover seeking tranquility, or just someone who appreciates architectural beauty, this bridge is a must-visit.
