Excursion Temple by the sea & skywalk tour at Busan
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Experience the coastal beauty of Busan and one of its most beautiful Buddhist temples during this picturesque, half-day sightseeing excursion.
Busan City and Haedong Yonggungsa Temple
Depart the pier for the scenic, approximately one-hour drive through Busan City en route to the magnificent Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, one of the visited and revered Buddhist temples in Busan. Founded in 1376 and restored in 1970, this Buddhist Temple is located atop a huge rock emerging from the ocean. This spectacular site houses a number of temples along the shoreline, along with dozens of statues and sculptures. The sound of the East Sea ocean waves and melody of sutra chanting from the temple create a magical effect, and further enhance the appeal of this stunning architectural marvel.
Oryukdo Skywalk
Next, re-board your coach and drive along Haeundae Beach to the Oryukdo Skywalk. Opened in 2013, the skywalk is located in the Seungdumal area, which is regarded as the dividing point between the East Sea and the South Sea. This incredible iron-and-glass structure is perched above a 115-foot (35-metre) high coastal cliff, and its transparent floor and walls offer stunning panoramic vistas of the coast, sea and distant Daemado Island on clear days. Following your visit, re-board your coach and commence the approximately 50-minute drive back to the pier.
