First stop: Skyline Luge slope cart
For our first stop we headed straight to the Skyline Luge in Gijang. Look at the photos I shared, my family and I wore yellow and red helmets respectively, each printed with a big 'Luge' logo.
Second stop: Lotte World Adventure Busan
After the luge, right next door is Lotte World Adventure Busan, I have to praise the castle there, the pastel-colored turrets are so dreamy in photos!
We took lots of photos in front of the fountain, the blue sky and white clouds over the blue mosaic-tiled pool made every shot look like a postcard.
Stop 3: Romantic by the Sea, Haeundae Blueline Park
In the afternoon we moved on to Haeundae to ride the wildly popular Haeundae Blueline Park, where we chose the 'Coastal Train,' its retro green locomotive is super photogenic!
We sat by the window the whole time, watching the endless sea on the horizon, that kind of 'mobile ocean-view room' experience felt so luxurious.
Stop 4: Luxurious pampering, Centum City Spa Land jjimjilbang (Korean spa)
After walking all day, my feet were about to give out. Our final stop was Spa Land inside Shinsegae Department Store. From the receipt I shared, you can see we entered around 7:00 PM on June 26, 2025.
This place isn’t like a traditional jjimjilbang (Korean spa) that feels old, it’s very modern inside, practically at a five-star hotel standard. After changing into light clothing, we first went to the outdoor foot bath area to soak our feet, the water temperature was just right, and with Busan’s cool nighttime breeze, I almost fell asleep from how comfortable it was.
Inside there are various hanjeungso with different therapeutic effects, my favorites are the yellow soil room and the pleasantly cool room. The rest area even has high-end electric recliners, so you can relax while scrolling your phone, the space is so big you won't feel crowded at all. If you come to Busan and haven't been to Spa Land, then you really missed out.
This Busan trip may look graceful in photos, but behind them are memories of our whole family sweating, laughing out loud, and waiting in line together. Busan is that kind of place, it has the convenience of a big city while keeping the candid charm of a seaside town. Whether it’s the spirited vibe of Gijang or the romance of Haeundae, every scene is etched in my mind.
If you're still unsure about your next travel destination, stop thinking and book a flight to Busan! The beauty here is absolutely worth experiencing in person.
