Haeundae and Gwangalli are must-see destinations for anyone visiting Busan. If you want to concentrate solely on your trip away from the bustling city, follow this guide. From unenviable sunset spots to retro photo spots, it will direct you to a hidden tourist destination in Busan recommended by locals.

Busan locals' favorite sunset spot. The golden sunset over the endless white sand beach creates an exotic scene. It's also breathtaking to see the purple sky that emerges when the sun sets. Dadaepo is also the only place in Busan with mudflats. At low tide, the sky reflects on the shallow mudflats, creating a sense of euphoria.

A small fishing village called Mipo is situated on Haeundae's periphery. There are clusters of fishing boats and female divers known as Haenyeo plunging into the water. Sushi restaurants are lined up beside the port. The best thing about this spot is its distinctive view of the port and city. When you walk out onto the beach, you can see Haeundae, presenting a mix of ports and high-rise buildings. Let's explore Mipo first, and then stroll to Cheongsapo along the Mipo railroad. The railway trail is relatively quiet now that "Haeundae Blueline Park" has opened.

A park that serves as a haven for urban dwellers. You can enjoy stunning nighttime views of the Busan Harbor Bridge, the city center, and the port. Despite the fact that the moon-shaped lighting is a trendy Instagram spot, the pavilion at the park's summit is the preferred photo location among locals. The city is depicted as a picture within a frame of pillars and pavilions, capturing traditional beauty.

Compared to the many ecological parks along the Nakdonggang River, it is relatively unknown and peaceful. The park is adorned with cherry blossoms in the spring, lotus flowers in the summer, and reeds in the fall. There are many different ways to enjoy the park. You can also walk along the deck road through a sea of lotus flowers, or rent a bicycle and ride down the tree-lined street. You can also park your car and enjoy a picnic along the lawn.

There is a hidden gem among the vibrant college streets. The alley is still as it was 20 years ago. Things from the past, or buildings with traces of time, give the impression that you are traveling back in time. If you walk down a maze-like alley, you'll come across some unique shops. There are cafes and restaurants, as well as pubs, galleries, and small theaters, so plan to spend the entire day.

Jeonggeo Village is a port village on Nulchado Island, which is part of Gadeokdo Island in Busan. The village's alleys are decorated with murals, which will delight your eyes as you walk. The murals are not grandiose and colorful, but they depict scenes from the village and its residents, giving it a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It is a quiet port village that few people visit, so taking a walk is a good way to experience it.

It is a popular rest area among Gijang residents. The reservoir is surrounded by dense forest, so the scenery is beautiful and the air is clear. A wooden deck is installed, making it ideal for walks by men and women of all ages. You will naturally come to a halt in the middle of the trail when you come across the stunning scenery created by a reservoir and a deep mountain view. If you sit on the lawn in front of the reservoir, you can capture images of the exotic atmosphere.
