Busan, a city in South Korea outside of Seoul, is a large port city known for its beaches, mountains, and temples. I was able to travel there with some of my friends!
Our travel time from Seoul was about 2 hours and 30 miunutes on a train. We made the trip at night and arrived at our Airbnb to settle in for the night.
The first place the group wanted to visit was the Miffy Cafe. I didn’t know much about Miffy, but apparently, she is very popular in Korea and around the world.
There were a ton of souvenirs and collectibles that were Busan exclusive, as well. I left the cafe with some gifts for my family and an understanding of who Miffy is.
Later that day, we went to the Haeundae Beach.
Being born and raised on an island with many beaches, it was nice to see this sight again. The weather this day was great and made it very enjoyable for the experience.
Right next to the beach was the BUSAN X The Sky tower. It is a very nice tourist attraction to where you can see the beach and city of Busan at a high elevation.
It was cool to see how big the city was. They also had locations of other places of the world on the glass to show how far it is from Korea!
As the night started to close in, we went back to the beach and saw the city lights at night!
A day later, we went to visit the famous Gamcheon cultural village.
It was nice to see all the houses and how they all fit perfectly into this one space.
Though our trip was only 3 days, I had a very memorable experience and would love to travel there again!
