11. Drink the famous ginseng chicken soup
Samgye-tang or ginseng chicken soup, meaning ginseng – chicken – soup in Korean, consists primarily of a whole young chicken – filled with garlic, rice, jujube, and ginseng. It is a must eat food when you visit Korea. We went to Myeongdong Dakhanmari. The restaurant uses fresh young chickens and minimal seasoning to allow diners to fully enjoy the tenderness of the meat. Overall, I think that the marinade sauce was the key to enhance the depth of flavor and taste better.
12.Buy grocery and snacks at Lotte Mart
Lotte Mart is a division of the Lotte Co., Ltd. which sells food and shopping services in South Korea and Japan. Obviously, it is the best place to buy all the Korean groceries and snacks.
13. Train to Busan
KTX-III was intended to cut Seoul-Busan travel times to 1 hour 50 minutes with a maximum operating speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). We bought Korea Rail 2 Day Flexi Pass/Korail Pass from Seoul to Busan (slighty cheaper as compared to normal tickets). On the other hand, TRAIN TO BUSAN also the name of a harrowing zombie horror-thriller movie. It is the eighth-highest-grossing domestic film of all time in South Korea. We actually watch this movie during my Cambodia Trip during 2016.
14. Visit Gamcheon Culture Village
Gamcheon Culture Village is definitely iconic of Busan. Gamcheon Culture Village is formed by houses built in staircase-fashion on the foothills of a coastal mountain, earning this village the nickname of “Santorini / Machu Picchu of Busan.” In order for the village to be reborn as a cultural hub, the Saha District received funding from various government offices for the purpose of urban regeneration. The community are vibrantly decorated with murals and sculptures created by the residents.
15. Eat seafood at Jagalchi Fish Market
Jagalchi Fish Market is one of the largest seafood market in Korea. You can find endless rows of fish, clams, crabs and other seafood on display.
