Gamcheon Culture Village is a place that is very interesting to visit. The village itself is lovely and you can take really great photos here. This is also the ideal place to wander around and see the old-style houses, the tiny museums and if you want a coffee break you can find a place that overlooks the rest of the colorfully painted suburb. Just remember to wear comfortable shoes before going here as this village is quite hilly.

A very picturesque temple in Busan. Haedong Yonggng Temple is one of the great places to visit to experience Korean culture and history. What makes this temple unique is not just its massive size, but it’s also absolutely beautiful since it is built into the mountainside with the ocean waves crashing below.
