Located on the Southern-East coast, Busan is South Korea 2nd biggest city, with a population of 3.6 million. It is also South Korea biggest port city and the fifth largest port in the world.
It is a very interesting place to discover, full of surprises. I particularly love the atmosphere around the docks and the fish market. And if you need to relax, just head to one of Busan beach !
just step in the park and feel the relaxing sensation that will conquer your tired body. Losing track of time and looking at these perfectly shaped and green tumuli is a delight. These 1500 years old royal tombs host remains of both kings and queens of the Shilla Kingdom.

you reach the grotto after a 15min walk along a nice and refreshing path through the forest, ideally covered by trees, a relief !
A beautiful 3.5m high buddha sits in the middle of the grotto. As the humidity and air is tightly controlled to protect the place, it is forbidden to enter inside the chamber (with one exception : on the birthday of Buddha, when authorities remove the glass wall).
Below are three shots of the colorful prayers hanging all around the grotto. more infos on wikipedia

A gem, a masterpiece. wonderfully set in the hills, surrounded by pines. Beautiful ! Originally built in 750, it was destroyed, burned down during Japanese occupation in 1592-98 and later restored by Japanese during World-War II (although some treasures seem to have disappeared..) and finally restored by the Korean government to its current state. full details here

Located on the East Coast, Gyeongju has been the capital city of the Shilla Kingdom for almost a thousand years. Spending a few days here exploring the cultural heritage is a delight, especially the gems that are the Bulguksa temple and the Seokguram Grotto. The area has been designated UNESCO heritage. more infos here
Found these littles fellow at the Shilla Millenium Park… a strange tourist park where you can learn about life in the kingdom of Shilla (57 BC – 935 AD), one of the Ancient Three Kingdoms of Korea.
interesting set-up : your ribs and vegetables come straight from this start-trek looking house, and land on the barbecue plate. No need for a waiter anymore.
Haha just kidding 
enjoy delicious meat without the inconvenience of smoke! D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. !
