The 9 Best Scenic Railroads in Busan, South Korea

July 11, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Busan is Korea's second largest city.  Tourists often come to this region to hike and to visit the Buddhist Temples located deep within the region's mountains. The Beomeosa Temple, founded in 678 AD, is perhaps one of the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.

I ended up getting a private one-on-one tour with Ben on my final day in Korea and it could not have gone better! I learned so much about the palace as well as Korean culture that gave content to a lot of the other sites I had seen that week. He was very knowledgeable and spoke great English. He also knew all the best spots for pictures and gave interesting perspective on the sites outside of what you would get on a typical tour. Definitely worth the time and money!
