What To Expect
Haedong Yonggungsa
Haedong Yonggungsa is one of the few Buddhist temples in Korea located right by the sea, offering stunning views of the East Sea. Built in 1376 during the Goryeo Dynasty, the temple is known for its unique coastal setting, peaceful atmosphere, and striking statues including the golden Buddha. Visitors can walk along a scenic path, cross a stone bridge, and enjoy the harmony of nature and spirituality. It's a perfect place to find inner peace while soaking in breathtaking ocean views.

Tourist attractions may be substituted if they are closed on regular holidays or if access is restricted due to unforeseen circumstances such as traffic control. In such cases, we will do our best to replace them with equally or even more enjoyable alternatives.
UN Memorial Cemetery
The United Nations Memorial Cemetery is the world's only UN memorial cemetery, where fallen UN soldiers who gave their lives for the cause of world peace and freedom are laid to rest. As a UNESCO World Heritage Park, it offers a detailed insight into South Korea's war history. In November 1955, the National Assembly of South Korea resolved to permanently donate this land to the United Nations as a gesture of gratitude for the sacrifices of UN forces, designating the cemetery as a sacred site.

5.00Had a day packed visiting places of interest. The guide was Chris Park, just a young guy who was very knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Would highly recommend as it was a great price and guaranteed to return to ship before boarding ended.

5.00Our driver/guide Yaya was very good, spoke excellent English. The spots that we visited were all very interesting and unique. The UN cemetery/ memorial was a highlight. They were very cognizant of our required return time to our ship. Highly recommend this tour from Love Korea.
Don’t overthink it and book now

5.00Excellent tour in all the way!!!! Joe was not only lovely, but gentle and professional (and speaks perfect English) ! Please… take this advice from someone who literally hates group tours: this is so worth your time!! Although it was a bigger group that I hoped for, everything ran smoothly and hassle free. It is the only way to see Busan in a day. I loved the fact that they take you to the attractions and give you “free time” even to eat. So you can go where you want to and spend your time how you want to. Lunch time is free will in the market or market square… those of us hardcore had sea food in the market (well Worth the experience) while others could chose lighter suitable options. All tours should be done this way and leave you at your own will, rather than being taken to tourist traps to eat and buy. Take this from an independent traveler: don’t overthink and book this tour now. Thank you for your last gift (surprise)… it made this trip worthwhile and memorable
