- Tongdosa Temple - Located near Ulsan, Tongdosa Temple is one of Korea’s Three Jewels Temples, founded in the 7th century. It is home to Buddha relics, such as a robe and a skull bone, preserved in a stupa. The temple is distinctive for its emphasis on relics rather than statues, providing a tranquil setting for meditation and reflection amidst mountains and forests. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, Tongdosa is an important pilgrimage and spiritual destination.
- Gwangalli Beach - Renowned for its fine sand and breathtaking views of the Gwangan Bridge, this beach is a favored location for water sports, dining, and experiencing vibrant nightlife, offering an ideal blend of relaxation and entertainment.
- UN Memorial Cemetery - This is the only United Nations cemetery worldwide, honoring UN soldiers from 16 countries who perished during the Korean War. It features beautifully maintained gardens, memorials, and monuments dedicated to their sacrifice.
- Amidong Tombstone Culture Village - Choi Min-shik Gallery; Situated in Busan’s Ami-dong, the Choi Min-Shik Gallery displays the poignant black-and-white photographs of Choi Min-Shik, a celebrated documentarian. Through his lens, the gallery transports visitors to 1960s and 1970s Busan, capturing the resilience of ordinary people amidst war and poverty. These evocative images offer a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs of the underprivileged, highlighting the enduring human spirit.
- Amidong Tombstone Culture Village - The stairs and walls in this village are unique, as they are all tombstones, hence the name Tombstone Culture Village. People began living here in tents since 1951. As the area became more settled, the tents became inadequate, leading to construction on top of Japanese graves. While Busan is often associated with the ocean, it is also a city of mountains. From Ami-dong, the entire city of Busan can be seen.
- Busan Gamcheon Culture Village - Gamcheon served as a refuge for many people fleeing to Busan during the Korean War. The creative urban regeneration project initiated in 2010 has been successful, attracting 1,400,000 Korean and foreign tourists to the village annually, earning it the nickname “Machu Picchu of Busan.”
- Jagalchi Market - As Korea’s largest seafood market, Jagalchi Market established itself as a fish market after the Korean War. This market is emblematic of Busan and is renowned throughout the country. Visitors can enjoy fresh raw fish right at the market.
