While walking around the site, visitors can feel the peaceful and serene atmosphere. The reason to call this place ‘Mirinae’ is that Korean Catholics which were comming to this place in secret to avoid persecution during the late Joseon dynasty, were carrying lamplights that were looking like starlight of the Milky Way.
  • Move to Mungyeong after lunch.
  • Mungyeongsaejae Provincial Park (Drama set studio): Mungyeongsaejae Pass, which crosses Joryeongsan Mountain, has always been the highest and most dangerous mountain pass in Korea. There is a saying that it is even too tall for birds to fly over. The three gates of Juheulgwan, Jogokgwan, and Joryeonggwan were built for national defence after the Imjin War (1592-1598). And these three gates are designated collectively as Historic Site No. 147 and the area between the three gates creates provincial park since 1981. The path from the first gate to the last is passing through beautiful forests and takes roughly four hours round-trip. Also between the park boundaries is located Mungyeongsaejae Open Set, which is oftenly used for filming historical dramas.

  • Gyesan Catholic Cathedral: The Daegu Gyesan Catholic Church was built by Father Robert, A.P. (1853-1922), who came to Daegu for missionary work. In 1899, the church building was constructed with wood using a Korean-style design, but was destroyed by fire a few months after construction began. Father Robert created a new building design and imported stained glass and galvanized iron from France and Hong Kong, since these types of building materials were hard to find in Korea. Construction was finally completed in 1902, three years after the project first started. This church is the only remaining structure in Daegu from the early 1900s. The church building is designed in the shape of a Latin cross, consisting of a nave and transept. This predominantly Romanesque church also features some Gothic architectural elements such as the stained-glass windows and pinnacles.
  • Move to Busan
  • Oryundae Martyrs Shrine: At the Oryundae Martyrs’ Shrine place is also located ‘Busan Martyrs’ Cemetery’ for eight martyrs who died in Busan and the ‘Martyr Cathedral’ where are enshrined remains of 26 out of 103 Korean martyrs. In 1968, the ‘Korean Martyrs’ Congregation’ built a monastery in Oryundae and built a church for the martyrs, to highly honor and spread love and spirit of the martyrs and to make it a holy place. On March 2, 2009, the Korean Martyrs’ Memorial Hall was registered as a first-class specialized museum.

The aquarium covers an area of 36,000 ㎡ and is spread over 3 underground levels and one above-ground level with different sections divided into special themes. The underwater tunnel experience resembles a walk along the ocean floor with various sea creatures swimming above, serving as a popular attraction within the aquarium. The aquarium is home to over 250 different species of fish, algae, reptiles, and amphibians, including large sharks, turtles, seahorses, and more, for total of over 10,000 sea creatures.
  • Haeundae Beach: Haeundae Beach is the most famous beach in Busan. The white sand beach is roughly 1.5 kilometers long, over a 30- to 50-meter wide area, creating a beautiful coastline before a shallow bay, making it perfect for swimming.
    People flock to Haeundae Beach every summer. All kinds of accommodations from luxury hotels to private guesthouses have developed in the area around the beach, making this the perfect summer vacation spot. Haeundae Beach is also famous for various cultural events and festivals held throughout the year.

  • Dongbaek IslandDongbaekseom Island (Island of Camellias) is an island located off one end of Busan’s famous Haeundae Beach. Although the years of sedimentation have connected the island to the mainland, Dongbaekseom was originally an island and is still referred to as one.
    Dongbaekseom Island is easy to navigate thanks to the walking path that is built around it. The island has several attractions, including the monument inscribed with a poem of scholar Choi Chi-won, the mermaid statue based on the legend of Princess Hwagok, and the Nurimaru APEC House.

  • Gyeongbokgung palace: Palace was built in 1395 and it is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces in Seoul. Fire destroyed the premises during the Imjin War (1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919). The most representative edifices of the Joseon dynasty, which are Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and the pond around Hyangwonjeong Pavilion remained relatively intact. The raised dias and stone markers of Geunjeongjeon showcase the representative art style of their time.
  • Blue house (pass by): The signature markings of the Presidential Residence of Cheong Wa Dae are its blue tiles. It is the first thing that catches one’s attention upon entering the premises. The blue tiles and the smooth roof blend beautifully with Bugaksan Mountain in the backdrop.
    The unique buildings of Cheong Wa Dae are comprised of the Main Office, Yeongbingwan (Guest House), Chunchugwan (Spring and Autumn Pavilion), Nokjiwon (Green grass), the Mugunghwa (Rose of Sharon) Valley, and the Seven Palaces. It is interesting to see that these buildings all have distinctive shapes and they have unique and beautiful design, that recembles the Korean traditional style. The blue tiles and the smooth curve shape of the main office roofs are elegantly built. Approximately 150 thousand tiles compose the roof of the Blue House. Each of them were baked individually which make them strong enough to be used for hundreds of years. If you turn to the right you will see Chunchugwan. The roof of Chunchugwan was made of earthen tiles. This is where the president’s press conferences are held. On the left side of the main office, there is the Yeongbingwan. It was designed to hold large conferences and official events for foreign guests.
  • Bukchon Hanok villageThis village is surrounding the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace and Jongmyo Shrine. Bukchon Hanok Village is home to hundreds of traditional houses, called hanok, that date back to the Joseon dynasty. The name Bukchon, which literally translates to “northern village,” came about as the neighborhood lies north of two significant Seoul landmarks, Cheonggyecheon Stream and Jongno. Today, many of these hanoks are operating as cultural centers, guesthouses, restaurants and tea houses, and they are providing visitors an opportunity to experience, learn and immerse themselves in traditional Korean culture. As Bukchon Hanok Village is an actual neighborhood with people’s homes, visitors are advised to be respectful at all times while looking around.
  • Seoul N tower observatory (No cable car): Namsan Seoul Tower was the first multipurpose tower buit in Korea, effectively incorporating a sightseeing observatory to a broadcasting tower. Namsan Seoul Tower is serving as an iconic landmark of Korea and a representative tourist attraction, for the past 40 years. The tower’s observatory offers an unobstructed view of the whole city, allowing it to become one of the all-time favorite attractions of Seoul citizens as well as domestic and international tourists. Another highlight of the tower is the Namsan Cable Car. The cable car is working since 1962 and it is transferring passengers from the foot of the mountain to the base of the tower. Shuttle buses to the Namsan Cable Car from downtown Seoul are also available for visitors’ convenience.
