Things to do in Haeparang Trail

Avoid the queues. Very easy to pre purchase via Klook we bought an all station beach train ticket and travelled from Mipo to Seongjeong then caught it back to The Daritdol Skywalk then walked back to Mipo stopping at the Haewol Skywalk. It’s a completely flat boarded walk so quite easy to walk at your own pace, stop for a drink or something to eat, and to take photos of the scenery, the passing Sky capsules and beach trains. It’s approx 30m wait otherwise for the beach train depending on your timing. if you really want to ride the sky capsule then must book in advance.

A highly recommended tour!!! the Gwangan bridge is more beautiful at night with all the lights and fireworks. The yatch personel are also very helpful and pleasant. The drone show is magical!

Be sure to finalize your itinerary first and confirm which attractions you will actually visit to see if the total cost exceeds 85,000 KRW, making it worth buying the pass. Because our itinerary wasn't planned out until right before departure, I kept hesitating on whether to get the pass. In the end, we decided to have seafood at Gijang, so for the daytime, we arranged to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple (free), then walked over to ride the luge (1), and walked to Lotte World Adventure Busan (2) while browsing the Lotte Department Store. All of these are nearby. Just the admission fee for the theme park for this day, plus the luge, and Spa Land (3) inside Shinsegae Department Store on the second day already exceeded 85,000 KRW. Even though we only used it for these three spots, it was still a great deal. PS: Remember to go on a non-holiday in South Korea, otherwise many places will have huge lines just from waiting. We planned our attractions for a Monday and Tuesday; the amusement park had very few people, and the spa land wasn't crowded either.

While looking for new things to do with the kids, we decided to try a yacht experience. We had a wonderful time on the yacht, listening to music, watching fireworks, and taking photos! It's a memorable moment from our Busan trip that I think the kids will remember for a long time.

Most hotels in Busan only allow check-in after 5 PM. We arrived at Busan Airport at 7 AM after taking a midnight flight, so we had to think of activities to do in the city before checking into our hotel. That's how we found Centum City SpaLand. We bought tickets online and decided to relax there first. This place is located inside a large shopping mall, right next to a city subway station, and has its own separate entrance (remember to look for the independent entrance; don't try to enter through the mall, as it only opens at 11 AM). Inside, there are separate areas for men and women, with pools of various temperatures. If you're interested, you can try the 'ice and fire' experience to relax your tired body. There are also many sauna-like rooms, including rock salt rooms and ice rooms, where you can sit or lie down as you please – there's definitely a room for everyone. Other amenities include a snack area, a large relaxation area where you can surf the internet and watch TV, and, most uniquely, a restaurant that offers DIY ramen. For one price, you can choose a packet of instant noodles from many varieties, and they provide a noodle cooker, side dishes (kimchi, bean sprouts, sausages, cheese, etc.), and seasonings. Guests can cook their own ramen, and once finished, it tastes a bit like Korean army stew – very interesting! We spent several hours here. It was our first 'attraction' and first experience in Busan. The admission and expenses were not high, so we highly recommend giving it a try!

The location and Aesthetic of this place is amazing right infront of the Gwangwalli bridge with ocean. The young silversmith here very helpful to us and they make the process so fun, my suggestion is to bring your best friends or couple this place. I can wait next time to see more design they have in the future.

Super high value experience! I booked the tour last minute because it’s hard to get capsule tickets on your own but it was so much more than this (made in part by our guide Victoria)! On the day of our tour the sunset decided to not appear but there were many beautiful and lovely night views all across town to satisfy any eager photographer. The capsule ride is also fun and an experience! I really enjoyed it and met travelers from many different countries traveling solo as well. Big props to Victoria for her fun but not overwhelming energy, helpfulness and top tier language skills (native Chinese and English fluency)!

The shop was very cute and the neigborhood had many nice cafes. When making perfume there was a wide variety of scents you could choose from, some even unique to the store. The lady was very nice and the perfume packaging is very cute. I had a good experience.

The yacht was bigger than expected and can accommodate a lot of people, and the vibe is amazing :) It's so good that I'd want to ride it again next time I come to Busan. Plus, the staff were so kind and even took pictures for us, which was really great. 👍
