Here the table was really full!
After eating we walked to a relatively modern Buddist temple built along the sea. Most are built in the mountains but this was in a wonderful location with beautiful surroundings right on the coast. Originally built over 1000 years ago, and destroyed during Japanese occupation, and then rebuilt, the latest in 1930, it is a peaceful beautiful location not found in many tourist books but visited because of the belief that you will get a wish answered if you pray here. It is approached after going down 108 steps and then a bridge.
Drinking the water in this underground area to have a long life
Young Jae and Hye Won were wonderful hosts and tour guides and took us then to the shopping area of Busan where we purchased a gift for Christina! It was an interesting and very large shopping area and we could have done much clothes shopping - if we had any room in our suitcases to bring things back!
The Jagalchi Fish Market was next - where we saw an amazing amount of fresh fish for sale! Hye Won told me that tomorrow this would be very busy in the morning as people purchased their food for their traditional family meals for the Lunar New Year.
Next we were escorted back to the Haeundae beach area and said goodbye.
The streets are very lit up in many colors.
Young Jae and Hye Won had given us a wrapped gift which we looked at when we got back to the hotel - it was a beautiful tea set!! I now wish we had gotten them a larger gift - they were just wonderful tour guides and hosts to our visit to their beautiful home town areas!
Thank you so much for a wonderful day!
