Busan Korea Trip Day-2 [Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, Shinsegae Centum City]

Our second day in Busan!


After having a free breakfast meal in our hotel, we started our day quite early in the morning. Our first stop for the day was Haedong Yonggungsa Temple(용궁사). To go to the temple, head on to Haeundae Station (Busan Subway Line 2), and follow Exit 7. After that, take Bus 181 and get off at the foothill of the temple. Walk up the hill for roughly 15 minutes to arrive at the entrance of the temple. Alternatively, you can take a taxi and go there.


Haedong Yonggungsa Temple was first built in 1376 by the great Buddhist teacher known as Naong during the Goryeo Dynasty. Interestingly, the temple was built next to the ocean which is quite rare in Korea because most temples in Korea are located in the mountains!


Okay, enough of the words. I will spam you guys with the photos :D


















This is some sort of wishing pond. FYI, you should only aim for the bowls. Yes, the bowls, not the pond!





































We went to Shinsegae Centum City (신세계 센텀시티)  after visiting the temple. The Shinsegae Centum City Department Store is registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest shopping complex in the world. To go to here, from Busan Station, take subway to Centum City Station (Busan Subway line #2). 


Anyway, we rested at the Starbucks in the shopping complex after our countless walking! It was our first visit to the Starbucks in Korea. How can I missed drinking Starbucks when I'm travelling abroad? Hahaha XD  Of course I won't order drinks which I can find in Malaysia~ 

Tadaa! Soy Strawberry Cream Frappuccino


 Another Starbucks card added to my collection!


First time trying Bibimbap! It was so so so delicious!!!


Banana milk. It's so popular in Korea! You can find it like anywhere!
