Visiting Busan? Don't forget to check in at Bommosa Temple and take photos at the stunning tunnel of leaves – a must-visit spot! 📸
I'd rate Beomeosa Temple as the most tranquil, sacred, and classically beautiful place to visit for worship, merit-making, and nature appreciation in Busan. This gigantic, 1,300-year-old royal temple is nestled amidst the lush forests on the steep slopes of Mount Geumjeongsan in South Korea. The atmosphere around the park is incredibly beautiful and uplifting. The layout features ancient Korean-style pavilions with dark gray glazed tile roofs, cascading down through the shady bamboo forest and groves of trees with vibrant orange and golden yellow colors, creating a breathtaking paradise on earth. You can breathe in the pure, refreshing air, feel the cool breeze, and relax your eyes to the fullest. The highlight of this trip is the exquisite ancient wooden architecture, a masterpiece of pure craftsmanship. A must-see photo opportunity is looking straight through the "ancient stone staircase flanked by rough granite walls." In the bright morning sun, the sunlight filters through the tunnel of lush green foliage on both sides, illuminating the meticulously paved walkway. The pastel-colored and vibrant red wooden archways stand out prominently against the vast horizon, creating a stunning and luxurious sight. Take a stroll along the pedestrian path to the courtyard in front of the "Daeungjeon Hall" to delve deeper into the breathtaking beauty of the "Three-story Stone Pagoda" and the towering ancient stone flagpoles. Admire the oil paintings on the wooden walls and the golden Kanji characters on the "Maitreya Hall" inside. The dim light illuminates the intricately carved bronze Buddha statue, which stands parallel to the building. To help you navigate this heartwarming slow-life getaway and celebrate the ultimate pleasure of relaxation, we present a truly captivating experience for our readers. 💡 Tips for Visiting: · Beomeosa Temple is easily accessible by taking Busan Subway Line 1 to Beomeosa Station, exit 5 or 7, then transferring to local bus number 90 and getting off right in front of the main temple gate. The temple grounds are vast and impressive, with steep stone staircases connecting the pavilions. You should bring a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable, non-slip sneakers. Security and information signs are well-maintained throughout the temple grounds. · As this is a sacred place with areas for monks to practice meditation (signs reminding you to "Keep out Meditation"), please visit with respect and quiet. We recommend wearing a brightly colored coat, such as orange, or modest, clean-cut attire. This will enhance your appearance and create a stunning, elegant look in photos against the backdrop of the lush green forest and ancient terracotta brick walls. #BeomeosaTemple #BeomeosaTemple #BusanTravel #busantravel #KoreaTravel #koreatravel #DaeungjeonPagoda #ThreeStoryStonePagoda #AncientBusanTemple #GeumjeongsanMountain #PristineNature #KoreaTravelReview
Ulsan is More Than Just the Sea! Discover the World of Whales at Jangsaengpo.
If you're looking for a spot in Ulsan that’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, packed with photo ops, and full of unique sights, this is a must-visit! 💙 📍 Jangsaengpo Whale Museum brings together whale exhibits, an underwater tunnel, adorable photo spots, vibrant boats, a sculpture park, and a refreshing seaside vibe all in one location. A personal highlight is the underwater tunnel—it truly feels like walking beneath the waves. The photo spots featuring flower-adorned whales and bright yellow chairs are incredibly cute. Outside, you’ll find brightly colored ships, sculpture zones, and 3D whale murals that make for endless photo opportunities. What I also loved is the open, airy atmosphere. You can just walk along and soak up the sea breeze. It’s perfect for those who want a laid-back trip that balances interesting facts with aesthetic photo spots. If you’re planning a trip to Ulsan, definitely add this to your list. It’s way more captivating than you might think! 🐬✨

SAU, a sentimental cafe selling the black and white chef's night tiramisu

This is the Black and White Chef version, with a cafe-specific style added, and the chestnut tiramisu was delicious, and the coffee was really delicious.

What people are saying about Ulsan
Taehwagang National Garden
absolutely stunning! i didn’t see the bamboo forest night view but the day time was just perfection. a must visit in ulsan!
heyitsanneDaewangam Park
This is one of the most beautiful parks I have ever been to in South Korea! It is right next to the beach and there are plenty of areas to hike. The suspension bridge was so much fun to cross and you could stare down at the dramatic cliffs and ocean. Although I came on a misty day, it enhanced the experience!
Gabrielle SHaeundae Blueline Park
On the train journey, there is lovely coastal scenery and can see the sun set
AmyJoyJangsaengpo Whale Museum
The Jangseongpo Whale Museum is located in Jangseongpo Marine Park in Maeam-dong, Nam-gu, Ulsan, South Korea. It is the only whale museum in South Korea. It is very powerful and scary, very shocking, and worth a visit. It is really good.
西等记忆Amethyst Cavern Park
Amethyst Cave is a complex tourist attraction where you can enjoy beautiful caves and various experiences. Amethyst crystals are often seen inside the caves, and the way they sparkle with light is impressive. You can feel the mystery of nature while exploring the caves, and there are also various play facilities and experience zones, making it a great place for families. In particular, after exploring the caves, there is a walking path where you can enjoy the surrounding natural scenery, so it is a great place to spend your time leisurely. It is an interesting and educational travel destination.
하하호호히Ilsan Beach
Even if you go in winter, it's a place where you can see beautiful scenery. The suspension bridge and Daewangam Park are well-maintained, and the water is much cleaner than other places! :) I think they also hold a Lunar New Year's Day event, so I definitely want to go back next time. I came back after resting at a nearby cafe while looking at the scenery, and I had a really healing day.
해맑쟁이Ulsan Grand Park
It was so pretty in November too Chrysanthemums, cosmos, reeds... They were blooming so beautifully and well-maintained. There was also a flea market, and they sold a lot of cute little items, so it was a little fun. There were also a lot of people walking their dogs.
해맑쟁이Ganwoljae Flame Grass Road
I went up and down the easiest course, the entrance to the deer farm It was nice that I could walk like a walk because the path was gentle, but it was about 10km round trip, so I walked a lot more than I thought I think I've arrived now.. I did it about four times and reached the top ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋThey say kids can do it well too... My poor stamina didn't hold up...It was hard 😅💦 But the top made up for it all It was really spectacular🏞️ Reasons why Ganwoljae is loved🫶🏻 Ganwoljae is worth climbing at least once It was the best!
위글로로Whale Cultural Village
The entire cultural village is themed around whales, and it also calls on people to protect whales.
