#BusanTravel #GijangTravel I think I can stop going to Haeundae and Gwangalli in Busan. It's time to travel to Gijang County in Busan! There are so many beautiful places here ❣️ Busan has such great transportation, so I mostly take the KTX and public transportation. But sometimes, when I drive, I expand my travels and head to Gijang County in Busan. It's beautiful here, with both the ocean and the forest. :) 🌊 Haedong Yonggungsa Temple on the Sea ✔️ Address: 86 Yonggung-gil, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan Even when I don't have a car, Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is a must-visit. The title "temple on the sea" alone makes it a romantic and mystical place. Walk through the small market-like alley and you'll encounter the 12 zodiac animals. Enter through the gate and descend to a bridge where you can throw coins and make a wish. It's a great photo spot. 🌊 Jukseong Dream Cathedral, a Cathedral on the Sea ✔️ Address: 134-7 Jukseong-ri, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan You've seen temples on the sea in Busan, so you have to see a cathedral on the sea too! Jukseong Dream Cathedral, a major tourist attraction in Gijang, isn't a real cathedral where mass is held. It's a popular photo spot, having been the set for the 2009 drama "Dream." Small pieces of art are on display inside the cathedral. While only a few pieces are displayed in a small space, it's a truly unique experience to discover an unexpected exhibition in a place like this. 🌊 Jang's Haenyeo House, a Restaurant for Abalone Porridge ✔️ Address: Yeonhwa 1-gil, Gijang-eup, Gijang-gun, Busan The joys of traveling include exploring tourist attractions, but also savoring delicious food. Today's lunch is at Jang's Haenyeo House, where they serve fresh seafood picked by haenyeo divers and delicious abalone porridge! If you order a set meal for two, you'll get a few side dishes and an assortment of seafood, including steamed scallops, raw fish, and live octopus. Abalone porridge follows. The sashimi and seafood were fresh, without any fishy smell, and the warm, savory abalone porridge was simply delicious. Sashimi and seafood are best enjoyed by the sea. 👍 🌲 Bamboo Forest, Ahopsan Forest ✔️ Address: 37-1 Midong-gil, Cheolma-myeon, Gijang-gun, Busan I've seen more than my fair share of ocean views since coming to Busan. Now, it's time to head to the forest for some healing. There's a beautiful bamboo forest in Gijang-gun, Busan. It's a famous filming location, and it became even more famous after appearing in the movie "Mr. Sunshine." :) Since it's privately owned land, the entrance fee feels a bit steep, but the refreshing greenery and clean air enveloping my whole body and mind are quite satisfying. The countless bamboo trees densely packed together in this vast expanse are a magnificent sight. It's exactly like something out of a martial arts novel, or something you've seen in movies. Just looking up at the bamboo trees stretching straight into the sky is breathtaking. Ahopsan Forest isn't just a bamboo forest; it also includes pine and fir forests, making it quite large and diverse. The well-maintained and tranquil Ahopsan Forest is a place you'll want to stop and linger, even while walking. ❣️

#summervacay If you're looking for a peaceful and dreamy forest escape right in Busan, you absolutely have to visit ATESAN Forest (아홉산숲)! It's truly a hidden gem, and when I was there, it felt like I'd stepped right into a fairy tale. This enchanting forest has served as a filming location for popular K-dramas like Hotel Del Luna, Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God), and The King: Eternal Monarch, which means it's incredibly photogenic! I kept thinking, "Wow, this spot was in that scene!" Imagine towering bamboo groves, incredibly soft moss underfoot, and winding paths... every step I took felt like I was walking through a magical storybook. The air was filled with that fresh, damp forest scent, and just breathing it in felt incredibly therapeutic – I could literally feel myself relaxing. Planning My Visit: Getting There: From downtown Busan, it took me about an hour's drive. It's a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. Admission: Entry for adults was 8,000 KRW. I'd say it's a fantastic spot for anyone who loves light hiking and being surrounded by beautiful bamboo. What I Wore: I definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes as you'll be doing a fair bit of walking, stopping to take photos, and just soaking in the atmosphere. It's perfect for a half-day trip! Photography Tip: When I visited on a sunny day, the light filtering through the bamboo created the most incredible shadows and highlights. My photos turned out amazing directly from my camera – I didn't even need filters! Parking: There's free parking available below the main area. Just a heads-up, after you park, you'll need to walk a bit to reach the actual entrance. Address: 520-10 Ungcheon-ri, Cheolma-myeon, Gijang-gun, Busan (부산 기장군 철마면 웅천리 520-10) Opening Hours: It's open daily from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. ATESAN Forest truly felt like a "green wonderland" hidden right within the city, offering me a serene escape and countless photo opportunities! #Busan #ATESANForest
