There are many people taking the train, so you can buy tickets in advance and book the time on the official website in advance, saving the situation of not being able to buy tickets on site. It takes 30 minutes to take a leisurely view of the scenery and take beautiful photos

I highly recommend this trip, it's very suitable for solo travelers. I was lucky to meet a tour guide who spoke very good Chinese. For a second I thought he was Chinese 😂 This tour guide, Mr. Gao, has very good driving skills, and he can help with any questions. He is also good at finding scenic spots to take pictures. He also took us to a private attraction ~ so beautiful! He is totally an exclusive photographer, hahaha!

It's a very nice car. After buying it, you can go to the official website to make an appointment. It's very convenient. Just arrive on time on the day and let the staff scan the QR code.

Must do if you haven’t been to a Korean style spa before! The ticket give you access to the spa for 4 hours and if you spend a least 10,000 inside, you’ll get another two hours. The ramen set at the second floor is 10,000 so if you go eat there you’re all set!

Our tour guide, Andrew, gave very detailed information about the history of Korea and their culture, and that made us appreciate all the destinations better. And free use of umbrellas in rainy Busan~ Kamsahamnida!
