Busan Miryang One-Day Small Group Cultural Tour

Today's tour concluded amidst sunshine and showers, and overall, I'm very satisfied. We had a kind guide, Kristy, and a handsome driver. The good weather really highlighted the beautiful scenery of Miryang, and the flowers were in full bloom. The owner of the rice wine brewery was very welcoming and cheerful, making it a fun experience. The rice wine was fragrant and smooth, and the homemade mochi was delicious. Manyeo Temple and Miryang Local Confucian School, among others, were all serene and peaceful environments – I enjoyed them all and felt the trip was well worth it. Lunch at Arirang Market, the raw beef bibimbap, was excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to try new things.

Miryang is such a charming city, and my itinerary covered some of the most distinctive attractions and culinary experiences in the area. Unyang Lake was truly a gem. The lake's clear waters and the beautiful natural scenery around it made it the perfect place to relax. I enjoyed walking along the lakeside paths, with the water reflecting the surrounding mountains and sky—it was such a picturesque view. Spending time there allowed me to soak in the tranquility and comfort of nature. I also tried Yukhoe Bibimbap (raw beef mixed with rice), a traditional Korean dish that's a specialty in Miryang. The raw beef was fresh and tender, perfectly paired with fragrant rice and various seasonings. The dish had a rich and layered flavor that I really enjoyed. As someone who likes to explore new ingredients and traditional Korean cuisine, this was definitely a highlight. I took Korean-style photos too, which was a really meaningful experience. Wearing a traditional Korean hanbok and the Miryang River and its surrounding scenery, and I really felt the unique charm of ancient architecture. The views from the pavilion were breathtaking, offering a perfect blend of history and nature. Afterward, I visited Hyeonchungsa Shrine, which was a solemn and serene place. This shrine is an important memorial site in Korea, and walking through it gave me a sense of the deep historical significance it holds. The traditional Korean architecture was beautiful, and the atmosphere was peaceful, making it an ideal place for reflection and remembrance. I took my time to quietly walk around and absorb the history and culture that permeated the area. Overall, my trip to Miryang was a wonderful experience filled with natural beauty, cultural exploration, and delicious food. It gave me a deep appreciation for the unique charm of the city, and I’m sure the memories I made there will stay with me for a long time.

It was a wonderful trip, I didn't expect to be in Korea. The less famous city experiences such a comfortable trip. During this short day trip, I experienced the beauty of people and nature by the lake, the tranquility outside the temple in Miryang, the Hanbok culture and new and delicious food in the traditional market, and the cooking course of local food. Thank you very much for the company of the tour guides, the guides are very friendly and warm, and the explanation of the attractions is also very professional. I highly recommend that you all come and feel it.

I had a fantastic time on this tour and was surprised by how much we could do in just one day. Miryang, a city I knew little about, turned out to be a beautiful and peaceful place worth visiting. We started at Miryang Weiyang Pond, where the natural scenery was stunning, and it felt great to take in the peaceful surroundings. Then, we visited the Miryang Arirang Market for lunch, where we enjoyed delicious bibimbap and had a fun hanbok photoshoot. At Yeongnamnu Pavilion, the view of the river and the traditional architecture was a highlight, while Pyochungsa Temple offered a peaceful break, surrounded by beautiful natural scenery. The temple’s quiet atmosphere was the perfect place to relax. The best part for me was the cooking class at Miryang Hancheon Theme Park. We learned about Hancheon (agar-agar) production and even made our own desserts, yanggaeng, which we got to take home. The bingsu with Hancheon jelly afterward was a perfect end to the day. The tour was well-organized, and the staff and guide were helpful and knowledgeable throughout. I'm glad I got to explore Miryang, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the city’s charm.

Guide Hwang Tae-kyung is super nice! Very friendly! In addition, he's also very talkative, speaks fluent Chinese, and explains the attractions in great detail. Even if you're traveling in Korea and have things you don't understand and want to ask him, he'll answer very enthusiastically! Also, this trip was a six-seater shared van, the seats were very comfortable, and you could charge your phone 🔋. The order of the attractions was also very well chosen, the scenery was super beautiful, and I would want to bring family/friends to play 🤩. We also got to experience making Korean mochi! The aroma and texture are different from Taiwan's! But since it's only 10/30... the autumn leaves haven't turned red yet this year, so I didn't see them QQ. I definitely want to see them next time I have the chance ˋˊ

Hwang is amazing and passionate in customer care with great knowledge. He is able to communicate effectively in Chinese, Japanese and English languages. The tour is at a relax pace and the raw beef rice is the highlight! Thanks for the experience!

I went on this trip with a heavy heart but it all disappeared in the end… It was a great opportunity to observe Korean nature and explore its history. Try walking slowly around Wiyangmot Reservoir - it will bring you joy as you watch ducks playing in the water. Sit and rest in Yeongnamnu Pavilion, where the view of Miryang river will bring you peace. Relax by watching steam at Pyochungsa Temple. Make a wish here. Heal yourself. It worked so good for me. I loved Miryang so much. I’m very grateful for the opportunity to experience it.

It’s hard to believe that just an hour’s drive from Busan, you can find such a beautiful place called Miryang. The landscape is simply stunning! The view from the Pyochungsa Temple is especially captivating. At the Ariran Market, we took lovely photos in Hanbok or in the style of the 70s and 80s. We also enjoyed delicious bibimbap with beef tartare 육회. We finished the trip by making our own Korean gelatin desserts 양갱. We were also given certificates. While waiting for our jelly to set, the tour organizers treated us to drinks and bingsu, for which we were very grateful. This trip will definitely stay in my memory for a long time. It was an amazing day with wonderful people. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to spend an unforgettable day in a fantastic location!

A unique trip for those who want to see a different side of Korea away from the crowd. Fred our tour guide made it amazing (great personality, energy, & very professional). Highlights: The town of Miryang, The Apple / Rice Experience, and the tea house experience. If you have time to spare in Busan, check out the tour.

An amazing day trip to Miryang City, which is full of wonderful experiences. The views from Yeongnamnu Pavilion were breathtaking, and exploring the Miryang Arirang Market, where the past and present come together, was a unique treat. We also had a lot of fun making yanggaeng (Korean sweet jelly) at the Agar Experience Center. The trip was meticulously planned, and the organizers were incredibly supportive. A great way to explore Miryang!
