I thought Jeju Island was beautiful until I came to Busan...

Here's a detailed travel guide to Busan: Best Time to Visit • The best seasons are spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when the weather is pleasant and perfect for sightseeing. Attractions • Gamcheon Culture Village: Known as Korea's Santorini, this former forgotten Moon Village was transformed by artists and residents into a colorful tourist destination. There's a tourist information center at the entrance where you can buy a map marking all attractions. Collect stamps to exchange for postcards. • Oryukdo Skywalk: Located on a 35-meter cliff, offering panoramic ocean views. Look down through the transparent glass floor to see waves crashing against rocks below. Free shoe covers are provided for safety. • Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: One of Korea's three great Buddhist temples dedicated to Goddess of Mercy, named after a monk's dream of the goddess riding a dragon. Its main attraction is its unique coastal location, offering stunning ocean views and cherry blossoms in spring. • Haeundae: Busan's famous beach surrounded by hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers. Perfect for sunbathing and seafood dining. • Gwangalli Beach: More lively than Haeundae, with more entertainment facilities and food stalls. Enjoy beach activities and try local specialties like grilled shellfish. • The Bay 101: A cultural complex in Haeundae district with restaurants and cafes. Beautiful at night when skyscrapers reflect on the water surface. • Songdo Skywalk: Features clean beaches and a renovated skywalk. Take the cable car for 360-degree ocean views, with seafood restaurants nearby. • Dalmaji-gil Road: Located in Haeundae district, famous for its scenery of ocean, white sand beaches, camellia, and pine trees. Cherry blossoms line the road in spring. Itinerary • Day 1: Arrive in Busan, head to Haeundae for dinner and enjoy the romantic seaside atmosphere. • Day 2: Seomyeon pork soup rice → Baekdal Culture Village → Gwangalli Beach → Bupyeong Canned Market → Little Prince Wall Painting Village. Enjoy ocean views at Baekdal Culture Village, try grilled shellfish at Gwangalli Beach, experience night market atmosphere at Bupyeong Canned Market, and take photos at Little Prince Wall Painting Village. • Day 3: Experience Haeundae Sky Capsule and enjoy Busan's coastal views. Transportation • Airport: Gimhae International Airport is about 22km from downtown. Take airport bus, subway, or taxi to city center. • City Transport: Similar to Seoul with subway, buses, and taxis. T-money card recommended for public transport with transfer discounts. Accommodation • Seomyeon: Convenient location with easy access to attractions, shopping centers, and restaurants nearby. • Haeundae or Gwangalli beachfront: Better beach atmosphere with ocean views and beach activities. Food Recommendations • Seafood: Visit Jagalchi Market for fresh seafood. • Pork soup rice: Try this local specialty in Seomyeon, featuring rich broth and tender meat. • Grilled shellfish: Must-try near Gwangalli Beach, best paired with sashimi and fish cake soup. • Dongbei grilled cold noodles: Find this spicy dish at Bupyeong Canned Market. Shopping Guide • Nampo-dong: Downtown shopping area with brand stores, boutiques, and local craft shops. • Seomyeon: Great shopping destination with large malls and unique shops. Travel Tips • Visa and Immigration: Chinese citizens need a visa to visit Korea. Apply at least one month before travel. • Cultural Etiquette: Koreans are generally friendly and polite. Bow, smile, and maintain eye contact when interacting. Wait to be seated at restaurants. No tipping required. • Safety: Busan is generally safe but watch for pickpockets in tourist areas. Keep important documents and cash secure, store valuables in hotel safe. • Health Protection: Busan has warm, humid climate with hot summers. Use sunscreen and stay hydrated.
