Temples near Busan

Busan's own entry, Haedong Yonggungsa, stands on rocks above the sea about 13 km north-east of the centre, an easy bus or taxi ride from Haeundae; it is crowded at weekends, so go early, ideally for sunrise. Bulguksa in Gyeongju is about an hour away by train or bus and pairs naturally with the Seokguram grotto above it. Haeinsa, home of the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks, lies in the mountains past Daegu, about two hours by road, and makes a full day trip.
