What to Do in Busan, South Korea

"If Seoul is Korea’s New York, Busan might be its Los Angeles–Miami hybrid," says Traveler contributing editor Maria Shollenbarger in her roundup of the most underrated Asian cities. With its packed high rises and miles of beaches, bustling Busan isn't quite under the radar— but Koreans regard it as the laid-back little sibling to Seoul. If you weren't planning a trip to Korea, do it now, and make sure you don't miss this often overlooked city.

6 Seoul Subway Shortcuts to Tourist Attractions

Did you know if you’re hanging out in Hongdae, Hongdae Station is not the only way you can get to the Hongdae area? Find out these Seoul subway shortcuts that can only come with local knowledge. These tips will help you save some time by eliminating unnecessary transfers and also allowing you to travel to other places to hang out in Seoul easier.

Myeongdong

How to get to Myeongdong: Myeongdong Station(명동역), line 4, exit 6 or Euljiro 1-ga Station (을지로입구역), line 2, exit 5

Myeongdong is a famous shopping district of Seoul and mega tourist hot spot. Sure, taking Seoul line number 4 to Myeongdong Station and getting out at exit 6 will get you to the heart of Myeongdong, but you can also take line number 2 and get off at Euljiro 1-ga Station. This can be better if you’re going to or coming from other popular places to hang out in Seoul  (Hongdae, Gangnam, Shinchon, Coex, etc.). Leave exit 5 of Euljiro 1-ga Station and keep walking until you see the entrance to Myeongdong on your left.

Hongdae Station

How to get to Hongdae: Hongdae University Station (홍대입구역), line 2, exit 9 or Sangsu Station (상수역), line 6, exit 1 or 2

Hongdae is a poppin college town with tons of restaurants, bars, clubs, cafes, shopping streets, and anything else you can think of. Some people are totally logical and can figure out on their own that going to Hongdae Station (line 2, exit 9) will get you to the main Hongdae area. But only do savvy Korea travelers know that Sangsu Station (line 6, exit 1 or 2) will get you to the heart of Hongdae just as fast. Sangsu Station is a good option if you’re headed to or coming from another Seoul hang out spot, Itaewon.

Gangnam Station

How to get to Gangnam Station: Gangnam Station (강남역), line 2, exit 10 & exit 11 orSinnonhyeon Station (신논현역), line 9, exit 5 & exit 6

Gangnam Station is huge and there are tons of places to hang out, but the majority of the hanging out is done out of Gangnam Station, line 2, exits 10 and 11. That’s where all the restaurants and bars are. But if you’re coming from Incheon or somewhere from north west Seoul, line number 9 (exits 5 & 6) might be the better option to getting to Gangnam. You might save a transfer, and  you also might get there quicker as there’s also an express train. It’ll get you to the same general restaurant and bar area.

Gyeongbokgung

How to get to Gyeongbokgung: Gyeongbokgung Station (경복궁역), line 3, exit 5 or  Gwanghwamun Station (광화문), line 5, exit 2

Gyeongbokgung is a historical Seoul tourist attraction that tons of people find by taking line number 3 to Gyeongbokgung Station. It’ll get you straight to the gate; it is extremely straightforward. But if you want to kill two Seoul tourist attraction birds with one stone, you can also get off at Gwangwamun Station (line 5, exit 2). Although the station is a few minutes farther than Gyeongbokgung, there’s a few other Seoul tourist attractions, such as Cheonggyecheon and Gwanghwamun Square, you can see before or after your trip to Gyeongbokgung.

Insadong

How to get to Insadong: Anguk Station (안국역), line 3, exit 6 or  Jonggak Station (종각역), line 5, exit 3

Insadong is a Seoul sightseeing attraction because of the traditional Korean cultural experience that can be found (i.e. Korean crafts, antiques, art, tea houses, etc.). Most places on the internet will tell you that Insadong can be accessed via Anguk Station (line 3, exit 6). But what local Koreans know is that you can save a transfer if you’re already on line 5. You can get off at Jonggak Station for a short little walk over to Insadong. If you are taking this alternative route to Insadong, you can also check out Jonggak, a centuries year old bell that is set in the middle of Seoul’s modern office buildings.

COEX

How to get to COEX: Samseong Station (삼성역), line 2, exit 5 or Bongeungsa Station (봉은사역), line 9, exit 7

The largest underground mall in the world, COEX Mall, was just recently renovated. It now includes some of the most popular restaurants in Seoul along with popular domestic fashion brands. Along with the renovation also came a new subway station. Originally, the only subway access was through Samseong Station, (Line 2, Exit 5). But if you get off of Exit 7 of Bongeunsa Station (line 9), you’ll now also be able to reach COEX as well. This is a great option if you’re coming from northwestern Seoul as the express train will get you there quickly. Also, you can stop by one of Seoul’s most beautiful temples Bongeungsa Temple (Exit 1) before heading to COEX.

BERBASIKAL DI KOREA

KAYUHAN MERDEKA DI BUMI SONATA

Dewasa ini, aktiviti berbasikal sebagai riadah semakin popular terutamanya dalam kalangan remaja. Di Malaysia, kebanyakan pemilik basikal menggunakan basikal hanya untuk beriadah atau bersukan sahaja tetapi di Korea Selatan ianya digunakan sebagai alternatif untuk pergi ke tempat kerja, pergi ke universiti malah digunakan untuk melancong di negara ini. Jika di Malaysia laluan untuk berbasikal agak terhad dan hanya terdapat di taman-taman rekreasi, kampus universiti dan di kawasan-kawasan tertentu sahaja. Tetapi di Korea Selatan, terdapat laluan khas  untuk berbasikal disediakan di sepanjang jalan raya seluruh negara ini.

Keadaan laluan basikal yang sangat cantik dan dijaga dengan rapi

Pihak kerajaan Korea Selatan sangat komited untuk memupuk budaya berbasikal dalam kalangan rakyatnya. Sebagai sebahagian daripada projek pemulihan sungai besar, kerajaan Korea Selatan telah mewujudkan laluan basikal yang kebanyakannya mengikuti empat sungai besar di negara ini iaitu Sungai Han, Sungai Nakdong, Sungai Geum, dan Sungai Yeongsan. Jalan keretaapi yang asalnya sejajar dengan sungai-sungai besar tersebut kini ditukar menjadi laluan basikal sepanjang 633Kilometer yang membolehkan rakyat untuk pergi ke Busan dari Seoul dengan menaiki basikal. Ia sekaligus menjadikan negara ini sebagai tarikan pelancong bagi penggemar basikal bukan sekadar masyarakat Korea bahkan pelancong dari seluruh dunia.

Pada cuti semester yang lepas saya bersama rakan-rakan Malaysia yang lain berkesempatan untuk melakukan pengembaraan basikal dari Busan ke Seoul yang berjarak kira-kira 633 kilometer. Sebelum memulakan kayuhan anda digalakkan untuk membeli passport basikal. Pasport basikal tersebut boleh didapati di setiap checkpoint basikal yang berharga hanya KRW4000(RM12). Dalam pasport tersebut mempunyai ruangan cop untuk dicop di setiap checkpoint. Jika semua 27 ruangan di setiap passport dicop, pengayuh akan menerima pingat dan sijil daripada kerajaan Korea Selatan.

Mengembara dari Busan ke Seoul dengan berbasikal merupakan suatu pengalaman istimewa yang tidak dapat dilupakan. Laluan basikal yang kami lalui menyelusuri kawasan perkampungan masyarakat Korea, bandar-bandar kecil, pelbagai jenis jambatan dan terowong, sungai serta bukit-bukau. Semasa melalui perkampungan kami juga berkesempatan untuk merasai buah-buahan segar dari ladang yang popular di negara ini yang ditanam seperti epal, anggur dan sebagainya atas kebenaran tuannya. Dengan berbasikal juga kita dapat menikmati keindahan pemandangan Korea Selatan dengan lebih dekat lagi.

Pemandagan di sepanjang perjalanan

Jika anda berasa penat setelah berkayuh basikal berjam-jam lamanya,anda tidak perlu  risau untuk mencari tempat berhenti berehat kerana banyak tempat rehat disediakan kepada pengayuh-pengayuh basikal. Tempat-tempat tersebut dilengkapi dengan kedai-kedai yang menjual makanan dan minuman serta dilengkapi dengan tandas yang bersih serta percuma walaupun berada di kawasan pendalaman. Jika dari segi keselamatan pula anda tidak perlu risau kerana rata-rata tempat dilengkapi dengan televisyen litar tertutup(CCTV) yang memantau pergerakan anda jika berlaku kecemasan. Jika mempunyai masalah pada basikal seperti tayar pancit, basikal rosak dan sebagainya anda boleh meminta pertolongan daripada orang tempatan yang berhampiran. Mereka sedia memberi bantuan.

Mengembara dengan berbasikal dari Busan ke Seoul bukan sahaja memerlukan kekuatan mental yang kuat malah memerlukan ketahanan mental serta kerjasama dari rakan-rakan yang lain. Melakukan kayuhan sejauh 633kilometer dalam masa lima hari memang sangat meletihkan namun ia memberikan pengalaman yang bermakna serta kepuasan yang sukar digambarkan. Kami juga dapat menikmati keindahan bumi Korea Selatan dari perspektif yang berbeza. Jika dilihat pada komitmen dan kesungguhan kerajaan Korea Selatan merancakkan aktiviti bersukan dan amalan gaya hidup sihat haruslah dijadikan contoh. Oleh itu, saya juga berharap negara kita yang tercinta, Malaysia suatu hari nanti dapat mengikuti jejak langkah yang dilakukan oleh kerajaan Korea Selatan.
