Opened in 1913, Songdo Beach is the first beach in Korea. After its golden period in the 1960s and 1970s, the beach became deserted. Those who wished to bring it back to its former beauty joined forces to repair the abandoned beach, making it even more breathtaking than it was in its heyday. With its spotless sandy beach, clear water, cloud trails, and an overwater cable car, Songdo Beach is once again a popular tourist destination receiving over five million visitors per year.
The Songdo Overwater Cable Car is a must-visit attraction whether it’s for a cozy family trip or a lovey-dovey couple’s stay. The cable car is a crystal cabin that glides between Songnim Park and Amnam Park to let you enjoy the dizzying ocean and cliffs of unique rock formations under your feet. Songdo Sky Park, the overwater cable car’s Amnam Park stop, awaits various types of tourists.

Gukje Market was formed after the Korean War as US army items and other goods were gathered at the refugee capital of Busan. Along with Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, Jagalchi Market, and Bosu Book Street, Gukje Market forms the “Original Mega Commercial District of Busan.” Recently, with the success of the movie “Ode to My Father,” which centers on Gukje Market, the place welcomed its second golden era. Start exploring Gukje Market from Kkotbunine, featured in the film “Ode to My Father.”
Good food is essential in the market. Visit street vendors and eat Chungmu Gimbap, Bbibim dangmyeon (spicy glass noodles), eomuk (fish cake) and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), fritters, and blood sausages for an authentic experience of the market.

This open film set is located in Jorye-dong, Suncheon. It consists of three villages each representing a different era from the 1950s to the 1970s.
A great place to revisit the past, as I mentioned earlier, is the Suncheon Open Film Location. Located in the neighborhood of Jorye-dong, the set was created for movies and dramas in 2006 and is now a popular attraction.
The village is split between three eras: 1950’s Suncheon, 1960’s Seoul Bongcheong-dong village, and 1970’s Seoul suburb.
The whole course probably takes an hour or two of meandering, and it’s fun to see my generation running around taking photos in costume. It has to be a little surreal for the older generation who actually lived these sets to see their kids and grandkids reliving their own past! I think my favorite was seeing all the halmonis and harabeogis dancing to some golden Korean oldies in the set’s discotheque.
