Itinerary
Walk through towering bamboo groves in one of Busan's most peaceful natural retreats — a K-drama filming location that feels a world away from the city below.
Unlike any other temple in Korea — built directly on dramatic ocean cliffs, where crashing waves meet centuries-old Buddhist architecture. One of Busan's most breathtaking and spiritual experiences.
Korea's largest seafood market, where the catch of the day is laid out fresh every morning. Browse stalls of live seafood, watch local vendors at work, and taste Busan's most iconic flavors straight from the source. (lunch at own expense)
The heartbeat of Busan's film culture — a bustling pedestrian street lined with handprints of celebrated Korean directors and actors, street food stalls, and the energy of one of Asia's most prestigious film festivals.
Busan's oldest and largest traditional market, a sprawling labyrinth of stalls selling everything from street food and clothing to household goods and local crafts. The kind of place locals actually shop — raw, vibrant, and completely unfiltered.
A retro street lined wall-to-wall with second-hand bookshops that have been here since the Korean War era. Rare finds, vintage magazines, and old film posters tucked into every shelf — Busan's most nostalgic and least-visited gem.
Winding alleys bursting with murals, sculptures, and pastel-coloured houses cascading down the hillside. The perfect final stop to soak in Busan's creative soul before heading back.

We booked the Real Busan: Bamboo Forest, Coast and Local Life Full Day Tour and it was a highlight of our trip. The Ahopsan Bamboo Forest was such a peaceful start to the day — walking through those towering groves felt like stepping into another world, and it was easy to see why it's such a popular filming location. From there we headed to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which was absolutely stunning perched right on the coastline with the waves crashing below. What really made the day, though, was our guide Jake. He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and clearly loved sharing Busan's history and culture with us. He kept the group relaxed and on schedule without ever feeling rushed. His energy made the whole experience feel personal rather than like a typical group tour. Highly recommend this tour, and if you're lucky enough to have Jake as your guide, you're in great hands!
Professional services provided by Chou & Tracy, special thanks to the driver under heavy snow condition.
