Busan
South Korea
Busan is Korea's second city and its seaside antidote to Seoul: Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, the jagged cliffs of Oryukdo, the gamcheon-painted lanes of Gamcheon Culture Village, and the country's largest fish market. Two or three days here pairs naturally with Seoul by KTX fast train.
