Haedong Yonggungsa Temple currently offers free admission without the need to purchase a general entrance ticket. Visitors can explore its unique location and the temple built by the sea. If you join a small group tour in Busan, transportation to the temple is usually included, allowing for easy access and a deeper experience of the temple's solemnity and tranquility by the sea, without worrying about entry procedures, offering a convenient visit.
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is renowned for its unique location nestled between mountains and the sea, making it Korea's only temple situated on a coastline. It enshrines the Bodhisattva of Compassion (Gwaneum), with the 'Seahae Gwaneum Daebul' (Sea Water Avalokiteshvara Buddha) facing the sea being its iconic structure. Additionally, there are statues of the Medicine Buddha and the twelve zodiac animals, adding rich cultural and religious significance. Visitors can experience the majestic atmosphere of sea and sky merging here, and immerse themselves in the unique charm of Korean Buddhism combined with maritime culture.
If you travel to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple independently, you can take the subway to Haeundae Station and then transfer to a bus or taxi, but the journey can be quite complicated. When participating in a small group tour of Busan, dedicated vehicle pick-up and drop-off services are provided, eliminating the hassle of transfers and navigation. The tour will be planned according to your needs and convenience, ensuring you can reach Haedong Yonggungsa Temple comfortably and efficiently, with ample time for sightseeing, greatly enhancing the smoothness and efficiency of your travel experience.
Riding the Haeundae Sky Capsule allows you to slowly admire Busan's magnificent coastal scenery along the abandoned railway of the old Donghae Nambu Line. The unique capsule car design offers panoramic views of the azure sea, Cheongsapo Port, and surrounding landscapes from an elevated perspective. It's especially romantic and captivating during sunset. This is a comfortable and nostalgic experience that allows you to appreciate Haeundae's natural beauty and unique atmosphere from a fresh viewpoint.
Joining a small group tour in Busan provides customized vehicle arrangements and detailed personal guidance, significantly enhancing the convenience of visiting Gamcheon Culture Village and Amu-dong Forest.

Such tours, led by professional guides, allow for in-depth exploration of these iconic spots, saving you time and energy, and ensuring a smoother journey.
