Exploring Busan topped off my recent Asia circuit!

Exploring Busan, Taipei, and Qujing 🚆✨ topped off my recent Asia circuit! The best parts? Jaw-dropping ocean views at Haedong Yonggung Temple in Busan, living right beside TAIPEI 101, and quirky museum strolls in central Taipei. If you’re hopping these cities, here are my must-see stops and real tips you’ll want to bookmark👇

Top Spots to Visit
1. 🇰🇷 Busan – Haedong Yonggung Temple (86 Yonggung-gil, Gijang-gun, 04:30-20:30): Dramatic Buddhist temple perched above crashing waves. Go early to beat weekend crowds!
2. Busan – National Fisheries Science Museum: Kid-friendly and surprisingly cool – aquariums, interactive exhibits, and local marine life.
3. Taipei – Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) (No. 1, Sec. 5, Xinyi Rd, 07:30-22:30): Event heart of the city, steps from prime shopping.
4. Taipei – Sisinan Village Museum (No. 50, Songqin St, 09:00-17:00, closed Mon): Reimagined military housing meets history – Insta-worthy walls and cozy cafes.
5. Taipei – Sparkle Hotel (No.16-B1 Sec.5 Xinyi Rd): Ultimate location! Literally neighbors TAIPEI 101 + MRT, making all the best sights walkable. Note – some reviewers wish for friendlier staff and better noise insulation.
6. Taipei – TAIPEI 101 & Observatory (89F No. 7 Sec.5 Xinyi Rd, 10:00-21:00): Don’t miss the sunset skyline, epic 360° city views.
7. Taipei – i-Ride TAIPEI: Immersive VR flyover adventure above the city.

Getting Around & Key Tips
Taipei is incredibly walkable if you stay Xinyi District. 🚇 Taipei Metro gets you everywhere; skip taxis unless you’re out late. Grab an EasyCard for painless fares. Qujing and Busan are best with local taxis, but metro lines work for main attractions.
For food, try Din Tai Fung at Taipei 101 for legendary soup dumplings, and Busan’s Jagalchi Market for fresh seafood bites.
Bring cash (NTD/KRW) for markets; weather can be fast-changing in Taipei, so pack a light umbrella year-round!
