Seoul much fun in winter - Day 3 Busan

KTX from Seoul to Busan is 2 hours 40 mins thereabout. We bought our tickets one day earlier from the ticketing machine at Seoul Station.  ₩59,800 for a single trip ticket. 

Airbnb loft for the next 2 nights!  Delighted to find this super clean and cosy apartment located just diagonally opposite Busan Station. The host, Mr Kim is such a kind and helpful guy. He sent us directions with pictures of buildings at intersections that we should look out for when finding his apartment.  
Heated mattress on the second floor. Its soft, comfortable and most importantly, clean! 

After settling down, we headed out to recce for lunch. Just around the corner is Chinatown street filled with Chinese restaurants. We headed in and ordered jajjangmyeon and mandu (boiled dumplings.
As soon as we finish our food, we fast paced to look for the bus stop near Busan Station to go to Taejongdae Park.

Busan Station, Exit 8 or 10
Cross the road to 'Twosome Place' café, turn right and walk straight till you see bus stop with bus no. 88 or 101.
Alight at the last stop. (Around 40 mins)
You can take the Danubi train ₩2,000 per person to visit the various attractions inside the park.

Yeongdo Lighthouse

Rocky cliff.
Did not have time to walk down to the edge like those people in this picture. It was 6pm when I reach Yeongdo Lighthouse and the last Danubi train leaves at 7pm. But for those who arrives in the morning or afternoon time, do go and take that Instagram worthy photo !

After we are done with Taejongdae, it was almost 9pm. There's a grocery super store just below our apartment, so we decided to settle dinner the lazy way.
Thank you Mr. Kim for helping us to order Korean fried chicken delivery. Ding! The delivery man appears at the door in half an hour. Seriously, its one of the best fried chicken I have ever eaten! The combo set consist of 3 flavours - original, soy sauce, and spicy sauce. *OMG icon* Its juicy, crispy, tender and soft. We ate it like the Korean locals, with beer! Thumbs up to the maxxxx.
