Beach-Hopping Bliss: Busan to Taipei

Beach-Hopping Bliss: Busan to Taipei 🌊🚌✨

Dive into Busan’s sun-kissed shores before hopping to Taipei’s iconic Liberty Square for a culture fix! Start at Haeundae Beach, a local fave for golden sands and gentle waves—perfect for a stroll, quick dip, or snacks from nearby stalls. Right next door is SEALIFE Busan Aquarium (open daily, admission ends an hour before closing), where you can get up close with marine life. My tip: arrive early for shorter lines and cooler temps! Next, cruise down to Gwangan Beach Park for laid-back sunset vibes and grassy picnic spots. Stroll a few minutes and you’ll reach Gwangalli Beach, famous for panoramic views of Gwangan Bridge—this spot is unbeatable for night-time selfies, with the bridge all lit up behind you.

Ready for a dash of heritage? Jump to Taipei and wander Liberty Square, sprawling and impressive, especially at sunset when the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall glows golden. Space out your walks—there’s shade around the plaza, perfect for a breather. Make sure to visit early morning or late afternoon for softer light (and cooler moments). Busan’s beaches have public showers—bring your own towel and sunscreen! Taipei’s Liberty Square is open all day, but midday gets pretty hot.

Precautions: Stay hydrated, lock up your valuables at the beach, and watch out for jellyfish in Busan (rare, but it happens). In Taipei, check the weather—summer storms can roll in fast.
