Haeparang-gil Coastal Walk, Busan

An absolutely stunning walk along the coast of Busan. We decided to start at the 'skywalk' which was a glass bottom platform you could walk out and over the sea on. Views were incredible!

We then started the walk with a steep hike up and up the path, when I was starting to regret the decision to do the walk it levelled out and we had a shade covered path to wander along (with no breeze unfortunately at this point!). We stopped to eat our subway sandwiches at a viewing area which was still a bit shaded, and spotted many people passing from the opposite direction out of breath. When we started walking down that way we found out why, as there was a mountain of stairs! Thankfully we were going down instead, and this was the first time we realised we may have picked the better direction to walk in.

We saw lots of locals along the route, from a group of older male friends who stopped for snacks frequently, or a picnicking bunch who offered Luke some food while I was busy photographing!

There were still many stairs up and down along the route, although our chosen direction was definitely better! The views were incredible along the way, as we worked our way closer to the city. The sea was a gorgeous blue-green against the sunny, almost cloudless sky.

We managed the whole walk in around 3.5 hours, and got our 10,000 steps in easily. Knackered, we ran for the bus back to the hostel so we could rest for a bit!Læs mere
