1. 1:09

   Haedong Yonggungsa Temple

   ⛩️ Temple · Gijang-gun

   Said to be a powerful place to make a wish, with a dedicated wishing spot on the grounds.

2. 5:02

   Haeundae Blue Line Park Sky Capsule

   🚡 Activity · Haeundae-gu

   Called the trip highlight; it can be booked as part of a day tour or on its own.

3. 6:42

   Huinnyeoul Culture Village

   🏘️ Neighborhood · Yeongdo-gu

   Compared to Mykonos or Santorini; ideal for a cafe crawl with water views.

4. 8:20

   Gamcheon Culture Village

   🏘️ Neighborhood · Saha-gu

   Allow a couple of hours, not one. A rooftop cafe offers a quiet escape from the crowds.

5. 8:59

   Gamcheon Bakery

   ☕ Cafe · Saha-gu

   Recommended on the front page of the village map; the chocolate-looking cake tastes like lemon.

6. 12:20

   Gyeonghwa Station

   🏢 Landmark · Jinhae-gu, Changwon

   Extremely crowded in peak season; suggested as a great alternative to Japan for cherry blossoms.

7. 14:51

   Yeojwacheon Stream

   🏢 Landmark · Jinhae-gu, Changwon

   Tip: see the love bridge, then wander side streets to escape the crowds and get better photos.

8. 19:01

   Busan Air Cruise

   🚡 Activity · Seo-gu

   The arrival area feels gimmicky, with loud karaoke; keep walking to reach the forest trails.

9. 19:57

   Amnam Park

   🌳 Park · Seo-gu

   A hidden gem with few foreign tourists; busy on Sundays, so a weekday visit should be more serene.

10. 22:42

    Jeonpo Cafe Street

    🏘️ Neighborhood · Busanjin-gu · brief mention

11. 24:26

    Seomyeon

    🏘️ Neighborhood · Busanjin-gu

    Recommended over Haeundae as a base because it is easier for meeting tours and has more food nearby.

12. 24:42

    Haeundae Beach

    🏢 Landmark · Haeundae-gu · brief mention
