Beomeosa Temple

범어사

A Silla-founded temple on the slope of Geumjeongsan, counted with Tongdosa and Haeinsa among the great temples of the south-east. It makes a different day from the Haeundae-and-Gwangalli one, and it shuts at 17:00, so a late-afternoon start does not work.

Language

The main hall of Beomeosa Temple, fronted by three stone stairways

Gwangalli Beach

The main draw is the view of Gwangan Bridge after dark. Drone shows, swimming areas and car-free street events depend on the date and the weather, so check each one before you go.

Haeundae Beach

It works as a coastal walk year-round, while swimming facilities and safety controls are seasonal and should be checked separately.

Busan X the SKY

It stands at the beach rather than away from it, so the observatory and Haeundae are one stop, not two — but at KRW 27,000 it is the most expensive single ticket on Busan's coast.

UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea

The only United Nations cemetery in the world, holding the war dead of the countries that fought in the Korean War. For a visitor from one of those countries it is the clearest reason to be in Busan. It is a cemetery rather than a sight, and it closes an hour earlier in winter.
