A 24-hour relaxing trip in Busan – 부산
The summer is coming. Any plan how to spend this hot season of the year in Korea? If not, how about having a short trip to Busan? It is not only the 2nd biggest city in Korea, but also a wonderful city. Despite the long distance from Seoul to Busan, you can reach it within less than 2,5h thanks to the good KTX connection.
Here is my suggestion for a 24-hour-trip in Busan to have a relaxing but interesting tour. It’s also easy to go and suitable for family with kids.
The itinerary for 24 hours
Day 1: Arrival and relax on the beach
Day 2: Taejongdae Park – Fish market – Gamcheon culture village and departure
More details as well as Naver map links to the destinations will follow …

It begann with the magnolia tree I saw in the Yonsei University’s campus. It was full with those little white buds, but not yet opened.
Some days later, I couldn’t remember anything else than the golden hedges over Seoul. They were colored beautifully by the yellow blooming fosythia.
Escape to Cebu, Philippines
To be honest, recently it’s not really enjoyable in Seoul. It’s too cold, windy and the air quality is so bad ?. How about escape to a warmer place? Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, etc. are quite close to Korea, aren’t they? Let’s consider Cebu, a tropical island of the Philippines.
Why Cebu?
