We have decided to visit Busan first before heading to the city of Seoul because we have this mindset - 'ahh, there are not a lot of places to discover in Busan'. Clearly, I was wrong because when I came back to Malaysia and see all the show on TvN, there are still λ§μ΄ things to do. So, here's my complete information on the hotel, food, shopping and places that I get to visit.
 |
| Busan Gamcheon Cultural Village! |
The moment I recall back about this hotel, I remembered we found a condom! We laughed so hard and were like 'is this a love hotel?'. In my mind, I was like 'yea obviously' the condom is the answer to that question but I don't want to said it out loud to avoid an awkward situation.
Aside from giving a protection, the facilities provided by the hotel are pretty complete for travellers. Plus, the staff speak English, so thumbs up for that!

2. Haeundae Beach (ν΄μ΄λν΄μμμ₯) πΈ
To be honest, the hotel is a bit far from the main attractions but we have a reason for it. The reason we stay there because...we need to catch a flight to Jeju. So, without wasting any time, we go straight to the place that pops out every time I searched about Busan - Haeundae.
Imagine you can see the beach in the middle of a city full of buildings and I'm pretty into it. Especially I came at the right time where all the umbrella filled up the beach! Because it's a popular summer vacation spot, the local people put on their swimsuit, bring all the good snacks and rent the umbrella for the perfect summer getaway.
π 264, Haeundaehaebyeon-ro, Haeundae-gu, Busan.
π° Open all year round.
πΈ KRW 1,500 train fare by card.
3. Haeundae Market (λΆμ° ν΄μ΄λμ ν΅μμ₯) πΈ
Socks is a must thing to buy in Korea, you can't find a wide choice of design anywhere but here. And at the end of the day, I brought back around 3 pairs of socks which for the first day are insane.
There are also fresh vegetables and tteokbokki that you can enjoy. I believe Busan rice cakes are really spicy and big that absorb all the goodness. I bought one to tried but eat at your own risk because there is no information regarding Halal ingredients whatsoever.
4. Hello India Al-Waha (ν¬λ‘ μΈλμ μμν) π₯
Walking around the beach made me hungry especially when we go out straight without resting. This area is actually famous with the big sign of fish cake (eomuk), but we decided to grab some dinner that served Indian and middle eastern dishes at Hello India Al-Waha.
We expected the prices to be around KRW12,000 or more which it was. But, I felt really relax where we enjoy our dinner without taking pictures of the food. Plus, the view from the second floor is the best.
π 542-32 U-dong, Haeundae, Busan, Korea.
π° Open Daily at 11.00AM until 11.00PM

5. Gwanggalli Beach (κ΄μ리ν΄μμμ₯) πΈ
My one and only aim here is to see the LED Busan Gwangandaegyo Bridge (λΆμ° κ΄μλκ΅). If you come here during the nighttime, I suggest you to visit one of the cafes nearby, sit at the balcony and enjoy the colourful light show.
There are tons of couple that sit around and just chit-chatting, and I would love to do that because the beach is really clean and I'm pretty sure the water is pristine too. So, bring a beach towel and just chillax. But, if you love a city vibe walk inside to the building area and explore more!
π 219, Gwanganhaebyeon-ro, Suyeong-gu, Busan, Korea.
π° Open all year round, but timing will be varied for swimming purposes.
πΈ KRW 1,300 train fare by card.

6. Namil Bar (λ¨μΌλ°) πΈ
When I went to Busan, I said to myself let's visit at least one film location of K-Drama which I did and visited Namil Bar! It's like a dream came true because I love rooftop and the view is BREATHTAKING.
Thank god I have a supportive mom and brother to follow me around and do crazy things like climbing the stairs. I'm so grateful for that. If you want to know more about my experiences to Namil Bar, click here.

7. Busan Gamcheon Cultural Village (λΆμ° κ°μ²λ¬Ένλ§μ) πΈ
Say Machu Pichu two times faster and you will always remember this colourful village in Busan! It's a must place to visit in the city because they have wonderful mural and shops around the residential area.
There are a few hotspots for you to take a picture but I personally like the 'cradle' part because I can see the whole village. For me, do take your time stroll around the village as it's really huge, so make sure to enjoy the street food, art store and get a stamp!
π 203, Gamnae 2-ro, Saha-gu, Busan Korea.
We actually ordered seafood stew and fried fish. It was a really fulfilling lunch and less crowded because we came really early at that time. I love the side dishes (banchan) so much that I nearly want to bring back some home. I heard their speciality is king crab and sashimi, so make sure to try that too!
After that, we decided to take a stroll along the market. I found one stall that sells different types of marinated side dishes and the other with big octopus. But, I'm kind of miss one thing to eat which is a raw octopus called sannakji, if you have tried there let me know how it tastes like.
π 52, Jagalchihaean-ro, Jung-gu, Busan, Korea.
We are almost done with Korea travel post! I'm so happy that I get to finish my travel post one at a time and hopefully, I get to visit Korea for at least one more time again. So far, how do you find my travel post and what you would like to know more about Korea? Leave a comment down below!
