Programme Details

:

Meet the guide at 09:00 to start the tour. Today's tour will be by private, air-conditioned vehicle with a private driver.

Start the day with a visit to The United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, a significant and poignant site commemorating the Korean War. The visit is not only a way to pay respects to the fallen soldiers but also an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the history. 

The next stop is Gukje Market, initially established by refugees and traders who settled in Busan after the war, making it one of the oldest markets in the city. The market played a crucial role in helping the local economy recover during difficult times.

Make a short stop-by BIFF Busan International Film Festival street, a famous Busan’s landmark. Continue to Jagalchi Fish Market, South Korea's largest seafood market. It's an excellent opportunity to experience the local seafood culture.

Lunch is served at a local restaurant.

Continue to colourful Gamcheon Cultural Village, known for the houses built in a tightly-knit fashion on the hillside, giving it the unique appearance. Originally, the area was known for having substandard living conditions and settled by refugees fleeing from the Korean War.

Next, sit back and relax with a scenic cable car ride. Travel 1.62 kilometres (15-20 mins) across the ocean at a height of 86 metres, enjoying panoramic views of Songdo Beach, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, Namhang Daegyo Bridge, Songdo Coastal Dullegil Road and rock cliffs. 

Hop out of the cable car and follow the signs to Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge, a bridge that connects Amnam Park to the small uninhabited island of Dongseom Island. Enjoy 360-degree views of the ocean, cliffs and surrounding islands.

After the tour, return to the hotel and take a well deserved rest, or continue exploring on your own. (L)
