Busan, the City that Offers Dynamic Experiences

Our Last Day in Busan (Oct. 27, 2013)

On our last day in Busan, we went to Taejongdae Park. It is probably one of the favorite destinations in Busan. Located in the Southern part of Busan, along the coast you will surely be satisfy even if you just explore the place the whole day. History has it that the name "Taejongdae" comes from King TaeJong Mu-Yeol, the 29th king of the Silla dynasty in the seventh century. This apparently was the place he enjoyed shooting arrows. The highlight of the park are the cliffs near the lighthouse. The place is so beautiful and you will surely enjoy its refreshing views. If you want to spend time in a place of solitude, this is surely the place for you. It's easy to get to, easy to get around and the cliffs and ocean are beautiful.

So if you feel like taking in a few scenic views, but don't feel like doing a long hike, Taejongdae is the best place to go. Spending time here was truly wonderful, relaxing and the sceneries are truly interesting.

Right after our adventure in Taejongdae, we moved to Jagalchi Market where we had our lunch.  Had so much fun much taking photos of fishes (different varieties), all kinds of seashells, prawns and octopus and crabs. Walking alone the wet market makes it more interesting since it feels like you are inside an aquarium wherein you are surrounded by all these marine species.

 After taking our lunch, we hurried back to our bus and went straight ahead to the Busan station since we need to catch up on our train schedule.  I felt so happy even if it’s just a short 3-days trip to Ulsan and Busan, because somehow our leaders managed our itineraries very well and we explored a lot of nice and enchanting places during our trip.  Busan is also a beautiful city like Seoul, the only difference is that, it has nice beaches.

That’s all folks.  On my next blog, will share you my adventure in Seoul together with our Wow Korea group. Anyeonghikaseyo!
