BRSJ Busan Korea

All day city and temple tour. Continued warm sunny weather. Good that we brought lots of rain and cold weather gear.

From Ship arriving
Lovely entrance into the city beautiful building beautiful water

Portside as the boat is docking

Campsites, directly across from the cruise terminal

Not at all clear to me why there is camping here, especially long-term camping. Maybe it’s the river access. May be a development site for Expo 2030.

We elected for the 6 1/2 hour excursion. We picked a long one with lots of bus riding and apparently a good deal of walking and many steps. The main reason we picked this is it included a city tour in addition to a temple and the fish market, and another market, local street market.

Tour write up

Very large port area with the ability to accommodate containers ships that hold 23,000 containers

Many Russians, in Busan, because of the port. Particularly fisherman who use the port to offload and then go back to sea.

Very famous beach in Busan. Taken from almost a mile away from the bus. Amazing camera on the phone.

Very likely the best temple we have seen. Far too many pictures of a spectacular location overlooking the sea with very colorful Korean glue paintings where the glue is designed to repel insects.

View from the top
Zodiac animals.
Possibly Quan Yin by another name.
Maitreya Buddha or Ho Tei?
Lying Buddha.
Hall of Lying Buddha.
Went to this overlook after going to some conference center. It seemed like a pointless stop, but apparently we could see a lovely beach.

Buffet lunch that was decent. I had lots and lots of sushi and sashimi. 40,000.Won

Live fish.
Market visit fish market clearly.
Outdoor restaurants.
Street scenes
in the large market after the fish market

Italian food, dinner, the usual.
