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.
Peta laluan basikal

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.

MAKAN MAKAN DI KOREA - HALAL HALAL HALAL
TOP 3 HALAL KOREAN RESTAURANTS YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS
One of the perks of travelling to other countries is you will get to experience different cultures and lifestyle. With that being said, enjoying a decent meal made by locals is also something worth looking forward to! Despite being a non-Muslim country, South Korea has been receiving numerous in flow of tourists from many Muslim countries, including Malaysia.
Generally, many think it is difficult for Muslim tourists to enjoy Korean food in Seoul. However, the rising number of halal Korean restaurants has proven this generalization wrong. There are plenty of restaurants that are either halal or Muslim-friendly these days. This time around, we will introduce the Top 3 (based on writer’s personal preference) halal Korean restaurants in Seoul.
- Yang Good BBQ Lamb Restaurant (YEOKSAM Station, Subway Line 2, Exit 6)
Do we have any lamb lovers here? You will love this place as they serve tender, juicy lamb imported from Australia! From skewered lamb to lamb rack, you could have your lamb in various types and portions. Writer’s personal favourite would be the fried lamb. Your first bite will make you crave for more! Halal-certified, although this BBQ restaurant is famous for its grilled lamb, it also serves other dishes that do not contain lamb. Those who are not huge fans, fret not as other options are available for you. This includes Sundubu Chigae (tofu stew), Corn soup and fried rice. Price for each serving of lamb varies, from 11,000KRW – 22,000KRW. This spacious restaurant makes it possible for customers to come in large groups and enjoy a comfortable BBQ session!

- Makan Restaurant (ITAEWON, Subway Line 6, Exit 3)
Itaewon is well-known amongst the Muslim community as the Seoul Central Mosque is located within this area. Halal restaurants could be easily found here and you will be able to see many expats roaming around Itaewon. Even though majority of the halal restaurants serve Middle East cuisines, there has been an increase in number of halal Korean restaurants and one of them is Makan. Only couple minutes (walking distance) away from the mosque, this restaurant serves a wide array of Korean dishes. Some of the menu include Dakdoritang (Korean spicy chicken stew) , Dakgalbi (spicy grilled chicken and vegetables), Bulgogi Bibibmbap (beef mixed rice), Saengseon Guui (grilled fish) and Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup). Writer’s pick would be Makan Bulgogi (marinated beef). The tenderness and juiciness of the beef will make you drool as you enjoy the meal whole-heartedly. At Makan, similar to other Korean restaurants, you will be given generous amount of banchan (side dishes) and they are yummy! Makan restaurant is a perfect place for you to try out many different Korean dishes, all under one roof. They provide take-out service and have the friendliest waiter and waitresses, too! Prices vary from 8,000KRW – 12,000KRW.

- Eid Restaurant (ITAEWON, Subway Line 6, Exit 3)
Owned by a Korean Muslim family, another well-known halal Korean restaurant in Itaewon is Eid. You will enjoy coming to restaurant for its good service as customers often find themselves having a good conversation with the owners. Not far from Makan restaurant, Eid is famous for its Samgyetang. They serve only limited amount of Samgyetang (ginseng chicken) each day to ensure that the quality of dishes are being maintained. There are several other menus in Eid including Bulgogi (marinated beef), Jjajangbap (rice topped with black soybean paste) and stir fried rice with assorted seafood, all between 8,000KRW – 12,000KRW. Eid also provides take-out and catering services. So for those who are interested in having some delicious freshly-cooked Korean meals for a particular event, you are only a phone call away from getting it! They are also currently running Eid Guesthouse, located near the restaurant. For those who intend on visiting Seoul, you might want to put their guesthouse in your list. No regrets as the family running Eid is amongst the friendliest and nicest Korean Muslims in Seoul.

Local’s Favourite Dessert Café
Yes, the title did not include this, but hey, who would say no to desserts? This may sound slightly biased, but Sulbing is possibly one of the top dessert cafes in Seoul. This franchise serves some of the best Bingsu (shaved ice dessert) you could ever have! With a wide range of topping selections, you will find yourself being indecisive when choosing which bingsu to have. To help ease your burden, these are some of writer’s personal favourite choices. Besides Bingsu, you should also try some of their toasts. Price range: 7,000KRW – 12,000KRW.
So what are you waiting for? Head over to the nearest Sulbing in your area to enjoy this mouth-watering, delicious dessert!
Do visit all the aforementioned restaurants and enjoy the various flavors of Korea!
