Details About Pusan
Destinations » Asia » China - Japan - Korea » Pusan
Korea´s "museum without walls" is akin only to China in its depth and cultural wonder. From Pusan, you can journey to this ancient Silla capital, a dynasty which reigned in Korea for almost a thousand years. Today this small provincial town is virtually a museum without walls, dotted with many splendid ruins. Nearby, the forested mountains and valleys shelter hundreds of beautiful Buddhist shrines including the renowned Sokkuram Grotto, and Tongdosa and Pulguksa Temples.
