The best in Busan or what to do in South Korea's "second city". Busan city, South Korea - stories and photos in the story of seasoned Busan South Korea vacation at sea when

The main tourist boom occurs in May-August, but in other seasons there is plenty to do

Since May, tourists from the near abroad have been expected in South Korea, including from Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Sakhalin and Kamchatka. In Busan, Far Eastern tourists are called the first swallows of the high tourist season, according to ENV with reference to the consulting center "Community" Compatriots ".

However, if you try, you can find something to do in South Korea all year round, even now. Below are some valuable tips for each season.

Winter: Eastern New Year

Winter in Busan is quite long and cold due to the winds. It is coldest in January (the Epiphany and Chinese frosts known to Primorye do not bypass Korea). There is practically no snow in Busan, so the flow of tourists to ski season there is no.

During the winter months, Busan participates in the Korea Grand Sale Festival of Shopping, Culture and Tourism. In 2019, the period is 43 days - from January 17 to February 28.

However, the tourist jump, when Koreans occupy almost all available housing, falls on the days of the Eastern New Year. In 2019, this is the period from February 1-5. For those who want to profitably fly to Busan in February, it is better to arrive immediately after the holiday - this is the time of the lowest season.

Spring: economy tourism

Despite the sharp warming in March-April, the tourism industry in Korea is just getting ready to receive the first travelers. However, you can come here already at this time, when renting a house is not a problem yet, and prices do not bite.

At this time, it is comfortable to walk around the city in Busan. The time is ideal for all kinds of cultural and recreational activities, active rest shopping tours. At the beginning of April, for cherry blossoms, there will be a little more tourists. And closer to May, it becomes quite warm in Busan, and guests of the city begin to occupy hotels near the beaches.

Summer: beach season

Busan's high season starts in June. The air in the city will warm up to + 24 ° C, and in the sea - up to + 16 ° C. It is hot and humid here in summer.

Officially, the beach season lasts from mid-June to late August, the sea warms up to + 23-24.3 ° C. At this time, stalls with food and drinks work on the city beaches, there are covered gazebos and umbrellas, boats and inflatable rings are offered for rent, lifeguards are on duty, and the rules apply: do not swim after 18:00 in the evening. But the swimming season itself, when the water is warm enough, lasts from May to September. At this time, the average water temperature is + 19.9 ° C.

In July-August, in the midst of beach holiday, all apartments are for short-term rent and most of the hotels are occupied not only in the beach area, but also within the city. Most experienced tourists Those who fly to Busan for summer holidays book apartments in advance, starting from winter. During this period, it is almost impossible to rent a furnished apartment with everything you need for recreation. And for Russian families it is very important to have a kitchen, the ability to cook their own breakfast and homemade food. In addition, when you spend a long time in one place, eating in restaurants and on the street is rather exhausting.

The rainy season in Busan is the end of June and a week in August. But the rains do not interfere with the rest. The city has well-established stormwater systems, tourist areas no puddles and dirt. There are many shopping centers with cafes and restaurants, exhibitions and other performances - there is always where you can usefully wait out the rain.

Autumn: ecological and event tourism

Autumn in Korea is a time for ecotourism, a time for hiking in the mountains. Everyone, young and old, can climb to the height along special paths.

September is still the high season in Busan, at this time the heat has already subsided, and you can walk for a long time to the sights, but it is still warm for a beach holiday. But on the days of Chuseok, the Harvest Festival, when all Koreans meet with their families and many leave the city, tourists may encounter empty streets, closed cafes and restaurants. Public holidays for Chuseok in 2019 are from September 12 to 15. But the period of complete calm lasts only 1-2 days - on the day of the full moon, when the largest moon of the year rises over Korea (this year - September 13).

In October and November, tourists are guided by excursion programs, event tourism, and shopping tours. October is the time for festivals. Busan hosts the Busan Fireworks Festival, music Festival"Korean wave" Busan One Asia Festival (concerts of famous K-POP singers are held on Haeunde Beach), Busan International Film Festival and others.

At the end of October and November, it is time to tanphun (this is how the autumn appearance of multi-colored leaves is called in Korea, - ed.). Walking in a park or forest is an integral part autumn holiday for Koreans. This is the time for those who want a relaxing and comfortable pastime and immersion in Korean culture. At this time in Busan there is not a large number of foreign tourists, as well as a full house in hotels.

The rainy season is over, which means that August has begun, the hottest month in Korea, the beaches of Busan are waiting for their visitors.

If you are looking for a city for a beach holiday, you can't go wrong with Busan. It is the second largest city in Korea. It is well located along the scenic coastline, unlike other central cities, the atmosphere of the port capital is beachy and relaxed.

The city is washed by the East China Sea from the South and the Sea of ​​Japan from the East.
Busan's beaches are ideal for swimming within the "urban civilization". When you want such conveniences of the metropolis as restaurants, cafes, shopping centers, public transport were within walking distance.
So, let's begin:

Busan Beaches - Haeundae

For many, Haeundae Beach is the first thing that pops into their minds when they think of Busan. Haeundae is one of the longest urban beaches in Busan. The busiest beach in the city, covered with beach umbrellas from edge to edge. In the swimming season, there is nowhere for an apple to fall. The sand is yellow. The waves are not high, the coast is relatively gentle. Therefore, it is suitable for swimming with children.

Location of Haeundae Beach

One of the central city beaches of Haeundae is located in the area of ​​the same name (Haeundae), the Haeundae metro station, exit number 5 or 3. On the Google Maps it is here:

Gwanganri - beach overlooking the bridge

For me, the beaches in Busan are associated with the Gwanganri beach. This beach offers a beautiful view of the bridge of the same name, the mecca of Busan at night. This is one of the most romantic beaches in Korea.There are many cafes, restaurants and beer establishments nearby for every taste and budget. Many establishments have an open veranda where you can talk with a loved one over a cup of coffee or a stronger drink and enjoy the mesmerizing view, the sound of the surf and the breath of the sea breeze.

Gwanganri beach is especially good at night:

In the evenings, on weekends and even on weekdays, a stage is built on the beach, where famous and not so famous singers and dancers perform.

There are many street musicians, magicians, performers and dancers on the street along the coastline. They gather crowds of people around them and earn their "pretty penny" from enthusiastic spectators.

Beach on the outskirts of the city - Songjeong

Songjeong Beach is located on the outskirts of Busan, and this, in my humble opinion, is its great advantage. Since there are relatively few people here, and the water is subjectively cleaner than in the city center. It is a paradise for surfers, windsurfers and kiters. They say they ride here all year round, so far I have seen them only in the summer.

Personally, I liked this beach more because of the light beach-relaxed slightly even festive atmosphere. Songjeong Beach is more "wild" when compared to other city beaches. Here everything is somehow simple, without the bustle of the city, a little even in a rustic way, but this is the beauty of this beach. Nearby along the coastline road, there are various cafes, eateries and eateries. The sand is large, yellow, perhaps because of this, the water is more transparent.

Songjeong Beach Location

Due to the distance from the center of Busan, you need to get to Songjeong Beach by bus. The numbers of buses coming from the Haeundae metro station are 1011, 1001, 141, 181, 63, 39, 9.

In custody

Swimming on the beaches of Korea has its own characteristics:

About clothes

• The local population prefers to swim in clothes. For this there is a special suit for aqua recreation. Which can be bought at any sports store or department store E-Mart, Home Plus, etc. The synthetic suit does not stretch in water. It looks like a suit for diving swimmers, but in a simpler way. It is water permeable and made from a fine synthetic fabric that resists sunburn.
• The so-called aqua shoes are also very popular, a very good thing by the way:
  • Firstly, they protect the lower part of the foot from damage, sharp stones, rocks, and other surprises that you can accidentally step on.
  • Secondly, it is antifungal protection and is useful for a hike in.
  • They are made of neoprene and a plastic rubber heel that repeats the shape of the foot, they do not feel like a shoe at all, and at the same time they provide good heel protection, they are more expensive, but it is better to take them right away. It's easier to eat, they have a rough rubber outsole and a rag upper. This option is cheaper, but swimming in them is like in shoes.
• It is forbidden to swim naked, fans of sunbathing without a swimsuit may fall under an administrative violation with the subsequent payment of a fine. Be carefull.

About rescuers

• Korean lifeguards restrict entry into the water to a depth greater than chest level. They whistle and wave their hands. They are responsible for all incidents in the territory allocated to them in defense. This is their job. In Thailand and the Philippines, you can swim into the horizon and no one will stop you. In Korea, you won't be allowed to die even if you try very hard.

Paid services

All official beaches in Busan and Korea in general have free toilets. Sometimes near the exit to the footpath there is a compressor and a compressed air cylinder and "pistols" for cleaning the feet and clothes from sand. Some additional amenities of the beaches are paid:

• Renting a seat under an umbrella, paid on average costs 10,000KRW
• Equipped shower rooms, average price 2000KRW.
• Sometimes paid lockers for things 1000-3000KRW
• Rent of inflatable swimming rings from 5000KRW

Well, on this I say goodbye to you until the next article.

THE MOST IMPRESSIVE ATTRACTIONS OF THE "SECOND CITY" OF SOUTH KOREA - PUSAN
According to the designation of travelers and the public, Busan is recognized as the "summer capital of South Korea", and to get to this picturesque and peculiar exotic place, you will need to spend some two and a half hours on by rail from Seoul.
Busan and Seoul are the most big cities country. But, their numerous and striking differences in all spheres of life have given Seoul the status of "the greatest city".

There are 50 reasons that eloquently confirm this status.

In Busan, freedom is usually only felt at night: you can meet groups of friends relaxing on the beach and sipping soda. And children, like in many countries, are very fond of playing firecrackers.
Traditional Korean food is hoe (Korean sashimi). But even here you can't do without soda - there is always plenty of this in the new fish market.
And it will also be interesting to watch how hefty tattooed men are having fun with a popular street game: you should insert your nails into a powerful wooden bar with one blow. The winner receives prizes - cigarettes and whiskey. By the way, the tattoo on the male body underlines the power here in Busan. And just in Seoul, the opinion is completely different.
Continuing the conversation about culinary traditions, it is worth emphasizing that the specific features of cooking, even taking into account the use of the same seafood, put Busan in the most distant place from Korean cuisine.
Here's what a visitor can do in South Korea's second city.

Beaches
Haeundae
The beach season opens in Busan from July 1st to August 31st each year. Millions of Koreans and more and more foreign tourists every year enjoy the beauty of Busan's seaside. The beaches are becoming a favorite pastime, especially on weekend nights.

Temple structures are amazing architectural monuments with a thousand-year history in Busan. Such an outstanding representative of the ancient Korean culture can be defined Temple of Pomos... The history of this religious building begins 1300 years ago.

It is difficult for most Korean cities to distinguish their own, different from others "face". All were leveled by the war - the terrible civil conflict of 1950-1953. Everywhere there are areas of low-rise private buildings - a kind of "old Shanghai", areas of the same type of multi-storey buildings, super-modern business buildings made of glass and concrete. Busan was not affected by the war, and the city has its own "trick".

Past and thoughts

The history can be found in history museum- it is small, with a well-chosen exposition and is free (by the way, do not miss the hall where you can participate in the tea ceremony, try on a traditional Korean robe - hanbok and test yourself in some traditional Korean craft). The city arose at the beginning of a new era, changed its names several times, until about the 10th century it received its modern name. Since the 15th century, Busan has served as the country's main commercial port. Trade was carried out mainly with Japan - initially a Japanese trading post was located here, since during the time of rigid self-isolation, the subjects of the Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun were forbidden to travel to Seoul. And after the conquest of the peninsula by the Japanese and up to 1883, Korea traded only with Japan. During the Korean War of 1950-1953, Busan became the temporary capital of the Republic of Korea, as it was the farthest point from the DPRK border and the main military base of the United States and its allies. Anyone interested in the history of the Korean War should visit the UN Memorial Cemetery. Until 1963, Busan remained the center of the province, then it became a city of direct subordination, and since January 1995 - a metropolis.

Asian beauty

Without a doubt, Busan is one of the most beautiful cities in Korea, although you need to understand that this is beauty in an Asian way. It is smaller than Seoul, with "only" 3.5 million inhabitants. Located in a mountainous area, on the sea coast. There are many bridges in Busan. One of them, Gwang'an, is the country's longest marine suspension bridge. The people of Busan are terribly proud of him. It is two-story, traffic in one direction is organized on the first floor, in the other - on the second. The Gwang'an Bridge is not only an important object in the infrastructure of the city, but also its decoration. It is equipped with special lighting that changes color depending on the season and day of the week, thus creating a magical holiday atmosphere.
A hurried tourist will take five days to get to know Busan. In order to see everything at once, you need to climb the observation tower with a 360-degree view - the view will be stunning, if the fog does not interfere. And you will be surprised to find that sea ​​port- it is very beautiful, especially when viewed from above. The port is the heart of Busan. It is truly huge, and it is hard to believe in the figures of the annually growing cargo turnover - now it is almost 20 million containers a year.
By the way, about the sea. Around the city, there are many magnificent beaches on the Sea of ​​Japan. Therefore, Busan is sometimes called the "summer capital of Korea". However, because of the short vacations of vacationers here, one cannot say that darkness is dark even at the height of the season. The most luxurious beach is Haeundae Beach, one and a half kilometers of clean sand. Moreover, the tallest skyscrapers in Korea are built on an artificial embankment 20 meters from the sea. This union of sand, water and concrete looks very unusual.

Antiquity and innovation

In Busan, hoary antiquity and hi-tech are in amazing harmony with each other. Tourists do not bypass their attention " Old city", Which in fact has not existed for a long time - only memories in the form of monuments. Where the city hall was many years ago, now stands the Lotte World Tower, completed and opened to the public quite recently - in April 2017. It is the eighth tallest skyscraper in the world. The main attraction of the area today is the Chagalchi fish market. The market is two five-story buildings and all the streets around. Live fish, shells, crabs, trepangs, ascidians, octopuses, squids, cuttlefish - so much food has never looked at you at once! True, meeting an English-speaking merchant on Chagalchi is a great success. One floor above or in a nearby stall, your "catch" will be cooked. There are also restaurants where you can enjoy all this splendor at a more than reasonable price. In October, a fish festival is held where craftsmen compete in the cleaning and cooking of conger eels, shellfish and raw fish.

In general, if you are going to try traditional Korean or Japanese food, then in Busan there is no problem with that. With European concoctions, things are much worse. At the same time, the Busan administration is trying to make its city convenient for travelers from countries where they cannot read hieroglyphs. There are many information bureaus, stands and signs explaining how many kilometers you have traveled to a particular object and how much is still left.
It's funny that Busan has its own "Chinatown", a kind of enclave of alien culture - Texas Street. This name is unofficial, it reminds of the times when American sailors indulged in forbidden pleasures here with local beauties. Now it is a Russian-speaking quarter where Koreans who have repatriated from Russia like to settle.
Haeundae is a new area of ​​the city. There is little Korean specifics, but to take a break from the "traditional" neighborhoods, you can go here and breathe a little Western life. In addition, it is in this part of the city that almost all the best hotels are located.

Buddhist antiquities

As a rule, after visiting a dozen Buddhist monasteries and temples, interest in this type of attractions cools down - they are very much alike. However, you still need to visit the Pomos Monastery. It is located in the mountains, almost above the city. It is not easy to get here on foot, especially in the heat, it is better to drive up, especially since the views of the sea and the city from the car window are very impressive. Atmosphere temple complex, which includes 160 buildings, is very different from the monasteries in Seoul. Less pomp and splendor, less restoration and bright colors - everything is rather modest. Well, as usual, there are many legends associated with the monastery. The name "Pomosa" is also formed by the words "nirvana", "fish" and "temple" - respectively, it translates as "Temple where fishes from nirvana play", although in European reference books it appears as "Monastery of the heavenly fish". And the whole point is that at the top of the mountain on which the monastery stands, there is a rock with a well in it. According to legend, once a goldfish descended from heaven and has been living there ever since. And the fact that no one saw her does not mean that there are no fish in the well. From the monastery neither the sea nor the city can be seen - only the wooded mountains.

Night vigils

You can while away the evening at the theater with a show or a classical concert. And if curiosity is stronger than fatigue, go hang out in the area of ​​Gwangbok Street and Naphodon Square, a local hybrid of Arbat and Sunset Boulevard. Here they are waiting for you tasty food, abundant shopping and plaques with palm prints of the stars of Asian and world cinema, as well as a huge number of places for recreation and entertainment for all tastes.
Busan is a paradise for shopaholics: duty-free shops, outlets, giant markets, developed handicraft production. Here is the largest department store in the world - "Shinsege Centum City". Tourists bring home traditional handicrafts and cutlery.
You can come to Busan meaningfully - to the international film festival in October, to the fireworks festival in summer, or to the cherry blossoms in spring. But in winter it is better not: cold, wind, dampness.
