Busan

excellent experience for an intro to Taekwondo super basics! really appreciated the welcoming and the effort to document the personnal experience with photos and videos for us. i would have loved another round of 15 20min of practice for beginners

We love the engagement photos we got back from Taeyoung. He was helpful and patient with us. Would highly recommend doing a photoshoot with him even if you are a foreigner. His English is very good and he knows all the best photo spots as well as how to pose.

we tried few photo shot experience and this is best for sure. very smooth flow of experience with energetic people.

I had a snapshot taken along with my Hanbok rental! They confirmed the meeting place and my requests in advance, which made the photoshoot go smoothly. They guided me to various spots, including a tour of Gamcheon Culture Village. Since it was a hot summer day, I changed outfits midway through, and they were happy to accommodate. Communication was done via a mobile app, which worked perfectly. The photos were sent to me quickly, and I was able to review them right away. It was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend using their service if you visit Gamcheon Culture Village!

Considering it was a 24-hour period, I thought about various courses. In the end, I used the pass from 2 PM until 2 PM the next day. First thing in the morning, I went to Gamcheon Culture Village → Huinnyeoul Culture Village → Arte Museum (pass activated) → Songdo Marine Cable Car. The next day, I got off at Songjeong, the final stop, via the Beach Train → I went to Skyline Luge, but there was a huge line, so I took a taxi back from Songjeong to Haeundae via the Beach Train → X the Sky (pass deactivated). Looking back, I think it might have been better to go to a spa in Centum City at the end of the first day. For all the attractions covered by the pass, you have to complete the reception process, but except for the Beach Train, the signs were easy to understand, and many of the staff spoke Japanese. The Beach Train had a huge line after 9 AM. The queuing system was a bit confusing. The leftmost line on the first floor was for tickets. Despite the long line, it moved smoothly, and I was able to get a reservation for 10:45 AM. You can get off the Beach Train multiple times along the way, but you have to wait for the next train, so please be mindful of your schedule. It's a bit worrying not knowing how crowded places will be until you get there. For places you absolutely don't want to miss, I recommend going first thing in the morning!

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.

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 rates on Klook were much cheaper than the walk-in prices at the attraction. I was able to book our tickets online right at the entrance, and the QR codes were emailed to me instantly, making the process quick and hassle-free. The aquarium has a great variety of sea creatures and is a fun attraction to visit if you’re already spending time at Haeundae Beach. My son had an amazing time and really enjoyed the experience!

As a solo traveler, this was such a fun experience, even sharing a cable car with strangers. We ooo’ed and ahh’ed as the cable car took us over water, alongside Songdo beach. I wanted to spend more time around Amnam park but I was short on time and it was way too hot for a brisk hike. The return trip was just as lovely and comfortable.
