Seoul Much fun in winter - Day 4 Busan

Jagalchi Fish Market 자갈치시장

Jagalchi Station, Line 1, Exit 10

Turn right onto Jagalchi 3(sam)- gil street

Walk 5 mins, turn left to arrive.

Largest fish market in Korea

located just beside Nampo port, that means they have the freshest seafood! Most of the stalls are run by elderly women.

There are many small restaurants in Jagalchi market, we just randomly picked one and walked in to order a seafood soup to try.
Pot of sea treasures - Abalone, clam, crab, prawns, squid, octopus, scallop and some funny looking ones which I totally have no idea what it is.

After 5 minutes, dang! Spicy seafood soup is ready to serve. The soup is simply awesome,  with the essence of all the ingredients in the pot. 

Gamcheon Cultural Village 감천문화마을

Toseong Station, Line 1, Exit 6

Continue walking till you see bus stop in front of Busan Cancer Center.
Take bus 2 or 2-2.

They call it Korea's Santorini.
This is the main reason why we came to Busan.
For first time visitors like us, we paid for a guide map at the community centre, which you can collect stamps around the village and exchange for postcards at certain stations. By collecting all of it will mean you have all the must-see covered. (Takes about 3 to 4 hours to complete the full course)

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple 해동 용궁사

Haeundae Station, Line 2 Exit 7
Bus stop right outside the exit, take bus no. 181 (20 mins)

Haedong Yonggungsa is a Buddhist temple built in 1376 by the teacher known as Naong during the Goryeo Dynasty. It is situated right beside the sea, with a great view.

From the bridge crossing over to the main temple, look down and you will find this wishing pond. Make a wish, toss the coin. And guess who's the lucky one! =)
