Busan, South Korea: Cruise port guide
Beachy, buzzing, loving food, comfortable and seemingly sunny: this is South Korea’s Sydney, but more low and angry.
Who goes there
All kinds of cruise lines are well represented here, and 2 million passengers from the leading harbor of South Korea’s leaders a year. Some ships set sail on the wide East Asian roads connected to China, Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan, but most Japanese cabotage laws require Japan’s journey, which always contains Japan, as they require foreign -wing cruise ships to stand in a foreign port.
Take over
Busan is well protected in a deep bay behind a large island, and although most of the view is made up of industrial facilities and high floors, they are all supported by hills that provide interest. On the port side, pay attention to the National Maritime Museum, which looks like a giant white boiler.
Rıhtım rituals
At some angles, the five -storey Busan International Passenger Terminal has a contemporary architecture that looks like a splashing whale. Although free service buses are provided and the Hop-off-off bus stops nearby, it is sitting at the commercial harbor, a 30-minute drive from the city center. You will not have any reason to linger unless you want to get rid of the last winning in fertile and customs -free stores.
Disembark
Hilly Busan is the second largest city in South Korea, but it takes advantage of a subtropical climate and a comfortable attitude that makes it a popular domestic tourism center. If you taste the Korean culture, the temple of Haedong Yonggun, built on Gamcheon Culture Village and low coastal rocks, are places to see. Shopping excellent: looting Gukje market, fashion boutiques of the PNU region (named for the university) and large stores such as Gwangbok-Dong and Lotte and Shinsegae.
Don’t miss
The beaches that compete in Australian cities and have much more vivid beach forty stuck with shops, restaurants and entertainment. Gwangalli Beach, while in the city center, is surrounded by cherry trees and pine forests, Haedae Beach is one of the eight natural spots of South Korea. A slightly quieter option, a cable car is Songdo, where you can walk to Ammam Park, where you can walk around in the Forest.
Be active
The most important feature of Busan is the coastal view, so multiply the Igidae coast track and enjoy rock formations, cliffs and scenery towards the city. It works 4.7 kilometers and starts both at the entrance of Oryukdo Skywalk and at the Yongho Starlight Park. Meanwhile, Haedae beach has a 1.5 -kilometer coast and has a natural and easily walked Dongbaekseom Island coast trail. You may want to avoid weekends: Haedae is the most famous beach in South Korea.
Best bites
You will find a lack of choice of food from cheap food stalls selling noodles or spicy rice cakes to decorated seafood restaurants. The city is famous for its Songdo beaches covered with Gwangali and seafood restaurants and seafood and fish covered with seafood restaurants. Jagalchi Market is the largest fish market in the country where you can make a feast with bargaining prices directly from sellers or upper floor restaurants. Other city specialties are goats, pigs ribs, galbi, cattle ribs and green-onion pancakes.
Farther
Many passengers make a long -day trip to Gyeongju, the former capital of Korea, with Buddhist monuments and royal tomb mounds. The accent is the temple if he finds on the slope beyond the town. The magnificent multi -color architecture is opposed to the furnished slopes, which are particularly beautiful in autumn. Other trips visit the Temple of Beomeosa, one of the most important and historical Buddhist temples in South Korea, where you can have a tea ceremony.
