Built during the Goryeo Dynasty, this temple has a legend that if you make a wish during the day, it will come true by evening. Ahopsan Forest [K-drama film location] Ahopsan Forest is a place where you can experience an untouched natural environment and rich ecology. The forest features a mix of bamboo groves, cypress forests, cedar trees, and ginkgo trees, as well as natural stands of Korean pine trees that are 100 to 300 years old. Covering an impressive 52,000 square meters, this private forest has been preserved for around 400 years. Many Korean dramas and films, including "The King," "Kundo," and "The Great," have been shot here. Cheongsapo The name "Cheongsapo" literally translates to "Green Snake Port," referring to a legend about a green serpent that once inhabited the area. Cheongsapo, with its captivating Daritdol Observatory and the exhilarating Blue Line Train and Sky Capsule, is a coastal gem that has captured the hearts of many. Taejongdae [A Natural Wonder with a Rich History] Named after King Taejong Muyeol of the Silla Dynasty, who is said to have visited and admired its breathtaking scenery, Taejongdae is a stunning natural park located at the southern tip of Yeongdo Island in Busan. This natural wonder boasts a dramatic coastline, featuring towering cliffs, lush forests, and crystal-clear waters.

On a clear day, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the distant island of Tsushima, Japan, from the observatory located on the southern side of the circular road. Since exploring Taejongdae on foot can be physically challenging, you can take the Danubi Scenic Railway to comfortably view the beautiful scenery. Gamcheon Village [Culture Village] Gamcheon, often referred to as Korea's Santorini or Lego Village, was originally founded in the 1950s as a communal settlement for followers of Taegeukdo, a new religious movement. The village has since transformed into a vibrant cultural hub. The village's unique charm lies in its terraced houses, painted in a rainbow of colors, that cascade down the hillside. This distinctive architecture, reminiscent of Lego blocks, has made Gamcheon a popular filming location for commercials, movies, and dramas. Since 2009, a community art project has transformed the village into an open-air gallery, with colorful murals and sculptures adorning every corner. Today, visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll through the village, stopping at cafes and shops to soak up the atmosphere.
