Haedong Yonggungsa Temple (海东龙宫寺):
It's the only Buddhist temple in Korea right on the ocean cliffs. Imagine that view! Built way back in the 1300s, it's now a big deal for Buddhists to see Guanyin.
You walk up these stone steps, and they've got all the zodiac signs carved into them. Inside, there's a huge Buddha statue. Then, there's Yongwang Hall. People go there to pray for good luck.
And get this, there's a bridge that takes you to get an amazing view of the whole ocean. You gotta see it.
Gamcheon Culture Village (甘川文化村): From up high, it looks just like Santorini, all those bright, colorful houses stacked together. You wander around and there are murals everywhere, cool art pieces popping up, and you gotta get a pic with the Little Prince. It's an Instagram dream
Jagalchi Fish Market (札嘎其鱼市场): If you're into seafood, this market is your type. It's massive! You'll find every kind of seafood imaginable here, and it's all incredibly FRESH, such as sashimi, octopus that's practically still swimming, and juicy abalone.
Yongdusan Park (龙头山公园): If you want to see Busan from up high, this is where everyone goes. Locals love it. You just hop on up the Busan Tower. You're looking out over the whole city, the harbor with all the boats, and you can even see those little islands way out there.
