Things to do in Samgwangsa Temple

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!

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!

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.

we had a wonderful time with Jamie! the whole day was very nicely paced and all explanations very clear! we also ate in a great seafood place. i would highly recommend this tour if you are planning to do sightseeing of major areas in Busan. having a bus helped a lot! thank you Jamie ! my sister and I loved it.

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.

Ryu is the best guide! He messaged us before the trip to introduce himself, which was a great way to start. Throughout the whole trip, he made sure to drive safely and comfortably. He clearly explained and shared interesting information about every place we visited. What we appreciated most was that he never rushed us and always gave us enough time to enjoy each destination at our own pace. We even ended up extending the trip for a few extra minutes, and Ryu was kind enough to drop us off at a train station near our hotel, which was very convenient. This trip with Ryu was definitely worth it! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a safe, knowledgeable, and considerate guide. ❤️

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.

It was a really great tour with a smaller group, so we all fit into a van, which I was thankful for. Our guide was Hee. He did really well coordinating everything in the swarming heat and drove like a legend. We had ample time for the itinerary with options to choose to visit the museum or some people to visit Wolji lake. I'm happy I choose the museum as theres lots of things to see from Shilla. He also acted as a photographer too. We stopped for lunch at an affordable ₩9900 buffet, theres other options too like a cafe cafe and CVS. A great tour to do if you want to see Gyeongju :)

My sister and I enjoyed the tour with Mr. Ya Ho. He was very informative and he had little fun facts to share about each stop of the tour. He was very attentive; he made sure we were all taken care of and recommended places to check out to make the most of our time in every stop. He checked-in on everybody throughout the day which we really appreciated. We truly had a good time! Thank you so much Ya Ho and apsonto our bus driver who drove us safely and smoothly to every destination. 감사합니다!
