Haeundae Beach Recap - Summer 2007

Busan is generally famous of its beaches and it is well-known as the largest port city in South Korea. The last week of July and the first week of August are the time when everyone in Korea takes their yearly vacation and pay a visit to the beach.

My professor ever mentioned to us that there were estimates of 200,000 to 700,000 people flock from all cities in South Korea to the beach on any given day in August. 百闻不如一见...Therefore, I've decided to pay Korea's most famous beach - Haeundae a visit last weekend, in viewing that this would be the last summer that I gonna spend in Korea.
So here we are...the 11 of us [Malaysians]...taking group pic @ Haeundae station...(another one holding the camera ;)))
Haeundae beach @ 10am...
Haeundae beach @ 3pm...


As far as you can see from the pic, there are people and beach umbrellas. I was really amazed by the crowd and the number of umbrellas. Also, as you go along the beach, the color of the umbrellas change from red to blue and white. It depends on which hotel you are in front of. The rental of each umbrella and beach mat cost about 5,000won per day.



Though the beach is not as breathtaking as those famous one in Malaysia, sea water is not clear as the one we have at Redang, but it is still relaxing...by enjoying the crowd, the music and some water sports.



Busan sea festival will be held from 1st August till 9th August in which the activities includes a large-scale concert complemented with fireworks on the beach during the opening ceremony and all sorts of water sports tournaments. Will update the blog with those pictures if I happen to drop by there during the festive...till then~ (^^)
