Busan through travelers' eyes

Busan has such a different vibe from Seoul, more relaxed, more coastal, and somehow more real. The combination of modern city lights and the sound of waves at night made it unforgettable.

I loved Beomeosa Temple. It felt so calm, surrounded by pine forests and the sound of birds. Even though there were other visitors, it somehow remained peaceful. A perfect place to take a break from city life.

I spent two days exploring Gamcheon Culture Village. The colorful houses and little art shops were lovely, but it was quite packed with tourists. Still, the creativity of the locals really shines through, every corner felt like a painting come to life.

Busan Tower gave me one of the best skyline views I’ve ever seen. At night, the whole city sparkles like a sea of lights. The elevator ride up was fast, and the observation deck had such a great atmosphere.

I liked how Busan blends modern attractions with natural beauty. One minute you’re walking through a temple forest, the next you’re shopping in a sleek downtown mall. It’s a city full of contrasts.

If you love sunsets, don’t miss Gwangalli Beach. Watching the bridge light up was magical.
