Private tour to Busan, the Marseille of Korea
If you like the sea, ports, and even more fish, Busan is for you. It is a sort of Korean Marseille, the heart of a “Southern” culture, second city but first port in the country, the sixth in Asia, larger than that of Hong Kong. We tour the city between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., every day, picking you up from your hotel. With our guide Yann Kerloc'h, who has lived in Korea for 15 years, director and producer and also guide for several years: https://www.pandamedia.eu/tourguides#yann He knows the city very well having been there at least once every year, long before making tourist visits, during the Busan film festival, the largest in Asia. The jewel of Busan is its Jagalchi fish market, one of the few in Asia that is still partially on the street. We invite you to discover all its twists and turns, because we know it well since we helped Arte film a documentary there. Another jewel of the city in which it is better to be guided so as not to get lost, the village of Gamcheon, a former shantytown which alone tells the history of the city as well as the country, since it was formed during the exodus of Seoulites due to the Korean War (1950-53). On the other side of the city, the immense Haeundae beach which has an air of Los Angeles, with its three "Sky tower" towers, among the highest in the world, and a walk along the Dalmagi hill in on foot or by Blueline train. A little further, the Haedong Yonggungsa temple, on the side of a rock, magnificent but also amusing with its endless staircase (108 steps, coded key to Buddhism) and its supermarket aspect of worship, because many Buddhas are celebrated there , between a goddess of the sea, a Buddha for academic success or a stupa for road accidents. There are many other options, such as Songdo beach and its cable car which overlooks the entire bay, other traditional villages less touristy than Gamcheon such as Huinyeoeul along the sea, or the Beomeosa temple and its fortress around it. , in the middle of the mountains. The city is particularly spread out from west to east, because it developed anarchically while being stuck between the mountains, so being guided allows you to be efficient in transport and also to show you what you would have difficulty in visit it yourself.
