Haedong Yonggungsa Temple – Gamcheon Culture Village – Gukje Market – Jagalchi Fish Market
Haedong Yonggunsa Temple Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is situated on the coast of the north-eastern portion of Busan. This superb attraction offers visitors the rare find of a temple along the shore line; most temples in Korea are located in the mountains. Gamcheon Culture Villiage is formed by houses built in staircase-fashion on the foothills of a coastal mountain, earning this village the nickname "Machu Picchu of Busan." Many alleys that cut through this community are vibrantly decorated with murals and sculptures created by the residents. Gukje Market & Jagalchi Fish Market Following the Korean War, refugees who fled to Busan set up stalls to make a living by selling smuggled or imported products, which developed into Gukje Market (gukje meaning "international" in Korean) of today. Gukje Market is one of Korea’s largest markets. The market's alleyways are lined with stalls selling diverse goods, particularly machinery tools, kitchenware, and clothing. To the market's right is an alleyway lined with charity stores, and to the left is Kkangtong Market. Overnight at your accommodation

Mireuksan Situated in the middle of Mireukdo Island on the southern part of Tongyeong, Mireuksan Mountain (altitude 458.4 meters) is also sometimes referred to as Yonghwasan Mountain after Yonghwasa Temple. Additional temples on the mountain include the more secluded Gwaneumam and Dosoram Hermitages, as well as Miraesa Temple. Dongpirang Mural Village The name Dongpirang is a combination of the Korean words "dong," meaning east, and "birang," meaning hill in the Tongyeong dialect. In October 2007, the Tongyeong Agenda 21 association invited people throughout the nation to paint murals on the walls of Dongpirang-gil Street. Thanks to the participants' paintings, this hillside village on the sea became a new place, revitalized by the art. The view overlooking the sea and Gangguan Port is fantastic as well.
