Begin your day with a visit to Busan's wonderful Gamcheon Culture Village -- a restored section of Busan that previously housed war refugees. Brightly-colored houses cling to a steep hillside where local artists and villagers showcase their talent, bringing ancient Korean art into the 21st century. On foot, follow the steep streets and winding alleyways that attract 140 million visitors every year. These fun and lively streetscapes function as a call to action for Koreans determined to revive and sustain their country's artistic values long into the future.
Your next stop will be at Yongdusan Park, located on Yongdusan Mountain in downtown Busan. The name of the mountain came from the shape of its peak which looks like a dragon's head (yongdu). The mountain is home to a variety of monuments.
From the Busan Tower, enjoy the magnificent views of Busan Port and the surrounding scenery.
Before returning to the pier, enjoy a visit to Gukje Market, one of Korea's largest markets. Each alleyway is crowded with stalls. Enjoy browsing among them -- whatever you're looking for, it's here somewhere!
