We had an overall great and insightful Busan Full Day Tour with our Tour Guide, Peter! 😀 got to visit a lot of places even if it wasn’t originally part of the itinerary because he wanted to make the most out of our tour! He shared a lot of stories of his life in Busan which made the entire tour a lot more meaningful and different than what you would normally expect! He also recommended a great Lunch place too which only cost 9,000 krw per person and was frequented by locals! Will surely recommend to get him in our next Busan Trip :)

We used the pass to play the coast train, slope slide, Lotte World spa land, Songdo cable car, X-sky tower in Busan. It is very worthwhile and fun. I recommend everyone to use it.

I bought a 48-hour unlimited play pass, which I think is worth the money. I can go to Lotte World, enjoy several saunas, and take a cruise. It is a must-buy when you go to Busan

This trip was pretty good. The tour guide Zhixian was also very responsible in explaining the attractions and the time was appropriate... The only drawback was that the weather was not very good, which was a pity

With the JCB Ultimate Card, you can enjoy 16% off, and 800 off for purchases over 4,000, which is really a great deal. When you buy a physical card, it also comes with a transportation card, which is really convenient for family members who are going to Korea for the first time. I am looking forward to the next trip!

Cultural and Historical Significance

Dakbatgol Mural Village, named after the mulberry fields that once flourished here, boasts a rich history dating back to 1953. Originally a small village on the outskirts of Busan, it has roots in the Korean War era. As Busan expanded, these satellite villages became integral parts of the city, each with its own unique story and cultural identity. The village's transformation into a mural haven in 2010 was a collaborative effort by artist Koo Bon-Ho and local residents, celebrating the area's cultural heritage and artistic spirit. This transformation reflects the community's dedication to preserving its cultural heritage while embracing modern artistic expressions, making it a testament to the resilience and creativity of its residents.
