Busan, Korea in $850s-$950s RT

If Seoul is the beating heart of Korea, Busan is more like... idk, whatever the most laid-back organ is. The spleen, maybe?

Even though it's Korea's second-largest city, Busan is all chill vibes, bright colors, and incredible seafood. Its beaches are perfect hangout spots even in the middle of winter, offering scenic and rarely crowded views of the ocean, and nothing beats watching the sunset from one of the many coastal promenades.

The temples here are just as gorgeous as the seaside vistas. The most famous is Haedong Yonggungsa, often called the most beautiful temple in Korea, but Beomeosa Temple is usually a lot less crowded - and comes with a scenic mountain hike.

Oh, and try to snag those dates in late March or early April if you can. The cherry blossoms in Busan are spectacular.
