Day 4 - Busan ( Taejongdae & Yongdusan )

Dynamic Busan is the slogan for the second largest metropolis in South Korea, which is located on the southeastern-most tip of the Korean Peninsula. I've already seen several program of Busan tourism in the Arirang channel and I was falling in love with this city, and the free shuttle from Seoul to Busan, made a perfect decision to visit this city. The shuttle bus was bigger and more comfortable than the Jeonju's shuttle bus. The bus was also equipped with flat TV and a friendly tour guide accompanied us during 4 hours trip. Korea Tourism service was very great !!

Arrived at Lotte Hotel Seomyeon Busan, we're looking for our hostel : Zen Backpackers. I chose this place because of Claudia Kaunang's recommendation in her book. Yes, the place was very strategic in the Seomyeon area, and the host, Jun, was a very kind man. He made the travelers/backpackers feel homy in his apartment. Mr Jun also told us a best place to eat nearby. He recommended a cold noodle restaurant which was very close to his apt. We tried one portion of Bibim Mul Cold Mun (Spicy Cold Noodle with Soup) for 7500 KRW. The portion was big enough for us both, and it was sooooo delicious. It was the best cold noodle I've ever tried. If I have the chance to visit Busan again someday, I definitely will eat this yummy cold noodle :)

Our first destination in Busan was the Taejongdae area. We took the Danubi Train to explore the area, including the Taejongdae Park, Taejongdae Observatory, Jeolleong Coastal Walkaway and Gumyeongsa Temple. Prepare your physical condition to explore this park :)

Next destination was the Yongdusan area. We used the bus from Taejongdae and stopped in front of Lotte Mall Busan. We're walking around this area, and found the Jagalchi Fish Market, Yongdusan Park, BIFF Square, Gukje Market. We ate Dakgalbi with udon for our dinner, and took bus to Zen Backpackers...so tired but fun :)
