The port city of Busan is a popular tourist destination in South Korea every year. Due to the complicated situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, some services and public transportation have been closed, making sightseeing in the city somewhat inconvenient.
Busan, a port city.
If you find the 5 km coastline too long to walk, visitors can opt for the Haeundae coastal railway service.
The Haeundae Railway is a tram system with two parallel tracks: a traditional coastal train and an elevated cabin train.
The colorful train carriages attract tourists.
The traditional train carriages are spacious and designed for sightseeing, with seats overlooking the sea. The train travels at a speed of 15 km/h over a distance of 4.8 km from Mipo Station to Songjeong Station. The 50-minute journey stops at six popular tourist attractions, including Cheongsap Port, Dalmaji Tunnel, and Daritdol Square.
The ship is specifically designed for sightseeing at sea.
Dalmaji Tunnel - one of the must-see photo spots in Busan.
During the pandemic, traditional transportation services were not widely used due to the risk of infection. An alternative was the elevated cable car system, with each small cabin accommodating only four people, ensuring social distancing. However, a drawback is that these cable cars travel directly from the first to the last station, without stopping at tourist attractions.
Nevertheless, you can still capture stunning photos with the clear blue sky and vibrant blue sea water.
