Our itinerary today:
BREAKFAST @ FISH CAKE SHOP @ Haeundae Beach -HAEUNDAE BEACH- Walk along the Dalmaji Road- COFFEE @ CESKA CAFE- hiking along the MOONTAN ROAD - HAEDONG TEMPLE and finally relaxing at SPALAND .
Big waves and minimal crowd as its autumn
From Haeundae Beach, we walked up along the Dalmaji Road, the most popular spot for viewing the Cherry blossom season aka the romantic road.
plenty of cafes along the Dalmaji road and we landed at this Ceska Cafe...
Very Hungarian-style cafe including their signature.
Trdelnik or Chimney cake
After refueling and resting, more walking along the Moontan Road Trail..its a hiking trail off the Dalmaji road along the coastal line..
the place to view the moon and get a "moon tan"
the lights along the walk normally lights up from sunset to 11 pm
Clearly this must be a romantic nocturnal walk to view the moon and the sea...
a cooling walk with sea breeze and plenty of fresh air with the forest of pine trees
almost the end of trail, we met a gentleman walking his 3 dogs and had a good chat!
After the walk, we took a taxi to our next destination...
the temple by the coast...
Haedong Yonggungsa Temple
It was formerly known as Bomun Temple and it was renamed Haedong Yonggungsa which means "Korean Dragon Palace Temple". It was said that the name came from a vision of the Goddess of Mercy riding a dragon to the head monk during his meditation.
"in Buddhism, this practice of stacking stones is a form of worshipping - but it can also be a gesture of asking or wishing for good fortune to be bestowed on the stacker and his family. Each stone within the stack represents a particular wish and, possibly, a particular family member"
the bamboo forest
Access to the temple by going down these 108 steps and bridge
Many people threw coins here for luck
more steps to climb..
Since we did not intend to pray and the place were full of tourists, we decided to leave for our next programme...
checking in Shinsegae Centum Spaland... Korean Jjimjilbang
Yes we love this place
after our first onsen, time to wander around to try their sauna rooms.
Sweet Rice drink with
Onsen Egg
After 4 hours relaxing and onsen-ing, it is time to hit back to our hotel.
Spicy Ramen with fishcakes for breakfast @ Goresa Fishcake shop along Haeundae Beach
Look at the various fish cake with cheese in spicy soup!
We went back to the Haeundae Beach for our dinner and night view of the beach..
Dwaeji-gukbap - Busan famous pork and rice soup..
Remember to add the saeu-jeot (like our Malaysia cincalok) for a umani flavour and of course plenty of chives (or marinated leeks)
the marinated chives (leeks), fermented shrimp sauce (saeu-jeot), kimchi, green chillies and garlic are the basic banchan (side dishes) to accompany this bowl of deliciousness.
