Top Things to do in Busan
What to do and see in Busan, South Korea: The Best History Museums
July 24, 2021 Sachiko Swiger
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.

The place is very quiet and a lasting tribute to those that gave there lives. In the cemetery the are so many graves with the words known only unto god , so sad and very moving.
