Busan: Taejongdae

Taejongdae is one of the representative scenic sites of Busan. It is located at the Southern most tip of Yeongdo-gu. It is famous because Tsushima Islands of Japan can be seen from here.

To visit Taejongdae, take the Busan subway to Nampo station (Line 1, Orange Line, Station 111), Exit 6. Once you exit from the station, walk straight until you reach a bus stop. From the bus stop, we took Bus 88. The bus journey is approximately 30-40 minutes.

 

 



We went to Taejongdae on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. There isn't much to do there but if you love to take photos, you would love this place. If you have time, you may want to make a trip to Taejongdae. The park is huge and you may choose to take the Danubi Circular Train so that you don't have to walk too much.


This is Tea Kettle Island located in front of Taejongdae. The name comes from its shape which looks like a kettle.

Busan: Jalgachi Market

If you have a chance to visit Busan, be sure to visit Jalgachi Market as it is the largest seafood market in Korea.

Have to admit that I've never seen such a massive seafood market before in my life and I really think was a good experience.
Directions: Take the Busan subway to Jalgachi Station (Line 1, orange line, station 110), Exit 10

Not only you can see the various kinds of seafood, you will also get to eat them fresh!

Abalone porridge! A bit "shua gu" here but I realised that fresh abalone actually tastes different from the canned abalone we eat in Singapore.
