WE LOVE BUSAN · WE LOVE BUK-GU

The Busan We LoveThe Buk-gu We Love

Begin in Hwamyeong. Return to Hwamyeong. Make Busan your own.

01HWAMYEONG IN · HWAMYEONG OUT

From river to mountain—and onward to the sea.

Begin beside the Nakdong River, pass through the city, valleys and arboretum, and continue into Geumjeongsan National Park. It is a day that brings together Busan’s nature and everyday life.

Our suggestion is one unhurried day centred on Hwamyeong.

How far you walk and which part of the coast you visit next is entirely up to you. Shunsai Kubo offers a satisfying meal at the beginning—or the end—of your journey.
