What you can expect

  • If you like the sea, ports, and even more fish, Busan is for you. It is a sort of Korean Marseille, the heart of a “Southern” culture, second city but first port in the country, the sixth in Asia, larger than that of Hong Kong.
    We tour the city between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., every day, picking you up from your hotel.
    Your guide, Yann Kerloc'h, has lived in Korea for 15 years, director and producer and also guide for several years.
    He knows the city very well having been there at least once every year, long before making tourist visits, during the Busan film festival, the largest in Asia.
    We do usually some of the must-to-see jewels of the city :

    • Jagalchi fish market, one of the few in Asia that is still partially on the street. We invite you to discover all its twists and turns, because we know it well since we helped Arte film a documentary there.
    • Gamcheon Village, a former shantytown which alone tells the history of the city as well as the country, since it was formed during the exodus of Seoulites due to the Korean War (1950-53). It is better to be guided to avoid the crowd, not to get lost, and benefit from the best views.
    • The immense Haeundae beach, on the other side of the city, which has an air of Los Angeles, with its three “Sky tower” towers, among the highest in the world. We know it well mostly for having spent days there every time we go to Busan film festival.
    • Blueline train, along a cliff above the sea, that we can help to book. “Capsule” being made for 4 people, it can be difficult for some groups.
    • Haedong Yonggungsa temple, on the side of a rock, magnificent but also amusing with its supermarket aspect of worship, because many Buddhas are celebrated there , between a goddess of the sea, a Buddha for academic success or a stupa for road accidents.
      We can also make you discover some other less known areas:
    • Songdo beach and its cable car which overlooks the entire bay, going to an island with a somptuous forest.
    • Other traditional villages less touristy than Gamcheon, such as fishermen village Huinyeoeul, right along the sea, or the higher and more recluse Dalmatgol.
    • Beomeosa temple, one of the oldest in Korea, and its fortress around it, in the middle of the mountains.
      The city is particularly spread out from west to east, because it developed anarchically while being stuck between the mountains, so being guided allows you to be efficient in transport and also to show you what you would have difficulty in visit it yourself.
