Welcome welcome back and let's just start the 5th day of the trip!
The
5th day of my trip can be said as the main highlight of my trip to Korea
this time. Wohoo! I think thanks to the Gamcheon Cultural Village that made this day
awesome. Detail later below so keep on reading!
Before
I went off to the first place of my itinerary this day, my Airbnb host was so kind that
she prepared me a full set of simple Korean breakfast. So healthy I can't ~
It was enough to hold
until past lunch! So glad I booked this place.
Satisfied
with the meal, I went off to my first itinerary of the day: Taejeongdae Park which is a natural park in Busan with
magnificent cliffs facing the open sea on the southernmost tip of island in
Yeongdo-gu. I didn’t quite remember how did I go there. I only remember that I took
subway first from the area I stay to one station named Nampo, and then transfer
to a 30-min bus ride directly stopping at the entrance of the park.
The park
itself was beautiful, got this mini all-you can ride train called Danubi for a
price that can take you to the main spot of the park which is the lighthouse.
Take
notes that it took quite a while to walk to the lighthouse, not to mention all
of the ladders that you have to go through when you want to go down or go back
from the lighthouse. It was quite tiring, taking small breaks are recommended.
It was quite hot that day but since the park itself was on the cliff, the wind
is quite strong and it made the heat much more bearable.
The main spot which is the lighthouse:
Beside the lighthouse, you can actually stop between several stops to explore more of the park.
They even sell some art stuff on the main road nearby:
After
strolling a little bit more in those area, I decided to tick off my first spot and went out the park; it’s time to go to the next
destination which is Gamcheon Cultural Village. I knew that I will spend a
significant amount of time on that village so I decided to just go from
Taejeongdae as soon as possible.
Before
I forget, I have my lunch around Taejeongdae area, a dish which called Gukbap, some
kind of pork soup that is Busan’s highlight menu.
It was soooo nice!! Credit to my friend that recommend me to try this dish. Worth. Every. Penny.
The
one that I had even not the famous one and it was already that good. Wonder how
the famous one will taste like. And I start to conclude that Korean style soup
dishes were mostly good, no matter what kind of soup that is haha. At least for
Korean food, I prefer the soupy one now. LOL
From there, is the point when my brain got worse. I didn’t remember by what kind of transport I
managed to go to my second itinerary which is the Gamcheon Cultural Village. All I can remember is I go back from Taejeongdae
to Nampo by bus, and then somewhat I end up taking another bus that took me
directly to the Gamcheon Village. I can’t remember what happen inbetween.. I’m
so sorry.
Once
reached the village, you definitely will know that It’s gonna be one exciting day.
Every murals was there, wanting to be photographed. Welcoming myself to the village!
And
can you see the Korean’s Santorini there!! So colorful af.
During
the walk, there’s this map that you can buy from the post nearby and inside the
map, they have places for you to gather stamps that were scattered around the
village, it’s like a small stamp hunt, which when you managed to get all done,
you get a simple postcard as a price. I bought the map and decided to do the
stamp hunt too, because I realize when you hunt for the stamp, eventually you
will explore every side of the village through fully without even you realizing
it.
And keep up with me to a psychedelic trip to the village of art..
As high as I can get.
My stamp collection finally full and got the postcard as present!
All
in all, this place full of art was just AWESOME, full stop.
I
don’t mind go Korea just to visit this place all over again. It’s Gamcheon
Cultural Village, if you forget. Please go here, I beg of you. It was so satisfying even word can't describe..
Sad to say that finally
I have to say goodbye to this village for the sake of continuing my trip to the
next stop which is Gwangalli Beach. Went back again by the same bus and then
transfer to another bus that took me directly to the Gwangalli Beach area.
Literally spend the rest of my day there.
Managed to stop and rest at one coffee shop
named BeansBins which were recommended by my friend (again).
Hands
down. Best coffee latte and best blueberry waffle that I ever had in my life. A
must try cafe if you go to Korea. Why they didn’t open one in Tokyo?? Already bored with the siren-labeled coffee shop haha.
After
waiting for the day to get a little darker, I went directly to the beach bare feet and
sat there resting, plus taking photos for the lit up rainbow bridge that was
the main highlight for the beach itself.
Gwangalli
Beach was much more crowded than Haeundae (and I don't even have the motivation to take photos of the crowd anymore), so I decided to take one small spot for
me to sit that is quite far away from all the people. After a good (maybe around) 45 minutes, I decided to leave
the beach after I’m satisfied resting on the sand and since I really wanted to
get rid of tackiness from sweating all day, I went back to my stay, took a good
sanitizing bath from all of those bacteria and went to sleep, facing my last
day in Busan the next day.
Day 5? Literally the BEST DAY ever from my whole trip! Thank God for offsetting my day 4's unsatisfying itinerary; so glad that I visited Busan and slipped this day itinerary to my plan. However it doesn't mean that the rest of my trip were dull, still so much great stuff to be shared to you guys so keep updated for my next posts!
