A cool sea breeze brushes your face as the minibus curls along Busan’s eastern shore, cherry petals brushing the road like confetti. The tour drops you at Haedong Yonggungsa first, where stone lanterns stand guard over crashing waves and the temple’s 108 steps demand a slow, deliberate ascent. From the coast the guide steers your attention inland to alleys painted in bright murals at Gamcheon, and later to fields that bloom yellow as far as the eye can see at Daejeo Ecological Park.
