Excitement in Busan, Comfort in Sokcho

The first place I visited upon arriving in Busan was Gwangalli Beach. Under the crimson evening glow, the shimmering sea and the lively crowd made me feel more energetic and cheerful as I walked among them. Busan is full of delicious food and charming cafes in every alley. It always feels like a vibrant and dynamic city where each day passes by quickly. On the other hand, time seemed to flow slowly in Sokcho. Walking along the beach in the morning and simply gazing out the window from a café in the afternoon felt more than enough. It’s a quiet place with fewer people and less conversation, perfect for a peaceful stay. Both cities have the sea, but their vibes are completely different. Busan makes your heart race, while Sokcho calms your soul. 📍 Gwangalli Beach in Busan / Haeundae Blue Line Park / Yeongnangho Lake in Sokcho / Badahyanggiro Walking Trail
