Slow Day in West Busan: Hiking, Regional Treats & Gwangalli Beach

Seaside views, nature-based activities and regional dishes make up a large part of life in Busan, not just for visitors, but for locals as well. Take it slow with today’s itinerary beginning with a leisurely hike around a mountaintop sculpture park followed by a meal of eel that's sure to boost your stamina to pre-hike levels (or according to superstition, beyond) before taking in the evening scene around Gwangalli, munching on sweet and spicy tteok-bokki and ending the night on a purely sweet note with a traditional icy dessert.
