Before You Go
- Start at Jagalchi Market by 8 AM — the freshest catches go early and the 2F sashimi restaurants are less crowded
- Pick up a free stamp map at Gamcheon Culture Village entrance — completing it earns you a postcard souvenir
- Take the Danubi train at Taejongdae if your legs are tired — it loops the coastal cliffs with photo stops
- Bus 100 from Haeundae to Yonggungsa runs every 15 min — sit on the right side for ocean views
- Wear comfortable shoes with grip — Taejongdae trails and Yonggungsa's 108 stone steps can be slippery
