The National Museum of Korea is one of the places we cherish most. As the largest and most popular museum in Korea, it is renowned for its architecture, surroundings and panoramic views, not to mention its vast collection of artifacts from ancient times to the modern era.

One of the reasons we chose to visit Korea at this time of year was to attend the Tea World Festival, Korea’s largest tea expo. The festival offers an opportunity to explore teas from Korea and around the world, alongside specialized tea wares and traditional crafts.

Huinnyeoul Culture Village, also known as the “Santorini of Korea,” is a hidden gem of Busan.

Visitors can walk along the seaside alleys of the village, situated on a high cliff, and enjoy panoramic ocean views alongside cozy cafes and souvenir shops.

Taejongdae Cliffed Coast is one of Busan’s iconic destinations.

A walking trail and the Danubi Train are also excellent ways to enjoy the park, but we strongly recommend taking a cruise or boat tour to fully appreciate the scenic cliffed coast and blue waters of Taejongdae.

The Oryukdo Skywalk is a horseshoe-shaped glass observation bridge that offers a spectacular view of the iconic Oryukdo Islets.

The name Oryukdo Islets means five or six islands, depending on the tide.

Regardless of your team affiliation, we highly recommend watching a baseball game during your stay in Korea. Korean baseball fans cheer enthusiastically, often singing specific songs for each player and in various situations.

Three generations of my family all enjoyed the game!

We visited Busan for 4 days, marking our second family trip since our trip to the United States 3 years ago. We will share our valuable experiences in Busan, beginning with our hotel stay, in the hope of assisting you with your future trip plans if you are going to visit Busan.

Cheongwadae Sarangchae gift shop is our strong recommendation when visiting the Gyeongbokgung Palace or Cheongwadae (the Blue House) areas.

The traditional craft goods are so beautiful and well-made that we spent over an hour shopping there.

The 2026 Craft Tea Festival is one of the reasons why we wanted to come to Korea at this time of the year. At the festival, you can meet tea producers, contemporary tea craft artists, tea culture activists, and their products and artifacts.

Strolling along the stone walls of the royal palaces is one of our favourite things to do in Seoul.

It is always a pleasure to observe numerous tourists wearing hanbok visiting the palaces or exploring the surrounding areas.

Hyugeso are highway rest areas in Korea where travellers can rest, dine, use washrooms and refuel their vehicles.

We always stop at one or more hyugeso depending on the length of our trips and enjoy exploring the local specialties of each.

We had such a beauTEAful time in Hadong with the tea masters who make our teas and we’ve been partnering with since Soocha Tea was established in 2018.
Just like tea is beautifully infused, our relationships, spirits and philosophies are gratefully steeped together. 🍵💚

[Soocha Tea @soochatea]

Hadong is the origin of all our teas and the primary location of high-quality artisanal Korean teas.
We invite you to visit the scenic Hadong to experience its picturesque landscapes, including expansive wild tea fields where tea plants are thriving in the middle of Jiri Mt.

Shinsegae Gangnam’s food hall is the largest department store food hall in Korea.

The expansive Premium Deli section offers a diverse selection of specialized deli brands.

Our first visit to the food hall since its recent renovation was met with awe at its high-end variety.

Hwadamsup is a huge botanical garden conveniently located within Konjiam Resort in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province.

My friends, who have been best friends since studying together 22 years ago in Toronto, planned a two-day trip for me, and we all made unforgettable memories!
