Busan City Day Tour: Take a capsule train to view Haeundae from a distance
My understanding of Busan
started with the capsule train
Because of a picture, I flew over 2300 kilometers just to check in
Today, I will introduce my Busan capsule train day tour guide in detail🔎
🚉Day Tour Itinerary
Cheongsapo Marine Skywalk - Capsule Train (Cheongsapo to Oe Pohang, i.e., Haeundae) - APEC Nurimaru APEC House - Distant view of Haeundae - Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.
Cheongsapo Marine Skywalk🗼
Before taking the capsule train, you can visit the Cheongsapo Marine Skywalk to enjoy the seascape. 🆓Admission, it's on the left side of the train, about a 15-minute walk away. The skywalk was abandoned halfway through construction, but it is still open for visitors. Shoes and socks are required to enter the bridge. You can admire the scenery of reefs, lighthouses, and haenyeo (female divers).
Capsule Train🚞
We took the train from Cheongsapo to Oe Pohang, which is Haeundae, and the journey took about 20 minutes. The views in order are the ocean, forest, and cityscape. There are options for 2, 3, or 4 people, each with different prices, and tickets can be purchased online in advance! It is recommended to visit after 4 pm to enjoy the sunset over the ocean and the city forest.
APEC Nurimaru APEC House🏙
Built to commemorate the successful hosting of the APEC meeting, the APEC Memorial Hall has three floors. The first floor is an outdoor courtyard🏡, the second floor is a high-end banquet hall, and the third floor allows entry into the Nurimaru APEC House. You can witness the scene of the APEC meeting from that year.
Distant view of Haeundae🌁
When traveling to Busan, Haeundae is a must-visit. From the APEC Nurimaru APEC House, you can view Haeundae from a distance, with the Haeundae sea-crossing bridge shrouded in mist. The place has its own unique charm with the sea, clouds, and bridge. There are relatively few people who come here to watch~
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple🛕
It is a temple built by the sea. It is one of the three major sacred places of Guanyin in the hearts of Koreans (Xiangyang Luoshan Temple, South Sea Bodhi Hermitage, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple). The temple wonderfully combines the sea, dragons, and Guanyin, making it very efficacious. Built in 1376, it has a history of over 600 years and is the southernmost temple in Korea.
Travel tips:
1️⃣The capsule train needs to be booked in advance
2️⃣The weather in Busan during March and April is quite unpredictable, remember to bring rain gear
Wow, what a breathtaking sight! 😮 The Haedong Yonggung Temple in Busan is an absolute must-visit destination for anyone traveling to South Korea. As soon as I stepped onto the grounds, I was transported to a world of tranquility and beauty. 🌿The temple itself is a masterpiece of traditional Korean architecture, perched atop a rocky cliff overlooking the stunning East Sea. The vibrant colors and intricate designs of the buildings were a feast for the eyes. 🏯 But let's be real, the real star of the show is the incredible view! 🌊 I could have spent hours just gazing out at the vast expanse of sparkling blue water and towering rocky formations.As I wandered through the temple complex, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and serenity wash over me. The sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs was like nature's own symphony. 🎶 And let's not forget the adorable deer that roam freely around the grounds! They were the perfect addition to the already magical atmosphere. 🦌If you're looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with nature, the Haedong Yonggung Temple is an absolute gem. Just don't forget your camera – you'll want to capture every moment of this breathtaking destination! 📷
100% the best of Busan, great for sightseeing as it is rare to see such a breathtaking architecture. however if you come here for religion, it’s not as rich as other temples
This was one of the most beautiful temples I have ever been to! The views by the sea are spectacular and there is a lot to explore. This is a perfect place to visit to learn about Korean culture and history. You can also go in any season.
The seaside temple in the Haeundae-Machine Zhang area of Lushan has a good view and no tickets are charged. Going down the steps, temples with sea views are really rare. It is quiet here, there are not many tourists, it is worth visiting.
Yonggusa Yongwang-nim Jeon Haehaebok is a lot of New Year's clothes. Address ★ Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is a famous attraction in Dongbusan, Gijang, where you can pray for good luck at the prayer site. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple
It was my first temple I saw in the seaside! Very nice and interesting design of small temples, gardens and statues alongside with the rocky seaside. Firstly those temple were built during Goryo 14th century but it was destroyed by Japanese invasion. Afterwards it was built again. There are small temples near there with the main big one where you can stay some time and have experience of prayer service doing by Buddhist monk. If you are in Haeundae beach it’s quite easy to take one bus aprox one hour way.
