BUSAN - What are you in the mood for? Korea’s second largest city, Busan (Pusan) seems to have it all. The connected markets of Gukje, Gwangbok-dong, and Nampo-dong are a shopper’s dream, while you’ll want to head to Seomyeon for Korean barbecue, soju bars and karaoke rooms. If nature is more what you had in mind, head to the popular Haeundae Beach for a splash in the waves, or eschew the cable car and climb Geumjeong Mountain on your own steam, after which you’ll feel like a soak in the hot springs at Hushimchung Spa. Whether you come for the Pusan International Film Festival in October, or for the traditional temples and markets, Busan has something to please everyone. |
