Gamcheon Culture Village is formed by houses built in staircase fashion on the foothills of a coastal mountain, earning this village the nickname "Machu Picchu of Busan." Many alleys that cut through this community are vibrantly decorated with murals and s culptures created by the residents. Spend some time wandering through the area and picking up any souvenirs you might like.

Jagalchi Market, located on the seaside road in Busan's Junggu, is Korea's largest seafood market, selling both live and dried fish. After the Korean War, the market solidified itself as a fish market. Most of the people who sell fish are women, so the ve ndors here are called Jagalchi Ajumma, "Ajumma" meaning middle aged or married woman in Korean. You will stop for lunch at a local restaurant here.

This afternoon you will head to the Busan Air Cruise, which was built to revive the reputation of Songdo Beach, the first public beach in Korea opened nearly 30 years ago. Thirty nine cabins, including crystal cabins with transparent floors, travel over the ocean between Songnim Park on the east and Amnam Park on the west. Visitors can also enjoy the first cable car museum in the nation at Songdo Doppelmayr World, Asia's first mid-air swing Sky Swing, theme park photo services and more.

Just down the road you will find the Sondo Yonggung Suspension Bridge connects the renovated Songdo Cloud Bridge from Songdo Beach to Geobukseom Island and extended from Amnam Park to Dongseom Island. Visitors can enjoy the thrill of walking above the waters while enjoying the beautiful view in this 127 meters long bridge.

Return to the hotel by 17:00.
