selfie – rene bauer photography

Midst in the old city lies the Hwaseong Haenggung Palace. Nicely renovated and with beautiful displays of the daily life on the king’s court of an old dynasty. It’s an educational place, not only for day visitors, but also for school classes. So i met a friendly teacher with her pupils, explaining the sundial on a very accurate model in an inner court. After a little chat i stepped outside the palace, where people gathered on a big square and let fly kites in the evening sky. A beautiful, calm atmosphere surrounded me for a last glimpse of these friendly and peaceful folks.

„Busan is Good“ is stated at the main station. To check this statement i decided to join a day tour group with a guide to reach the bit further places too.

After the participants got collect from their hotels, a drive over the Gwangandaegyo, also known as Diamont Bridge, brought us to Haeundae District.

First highlight was the APEC house, where meetings of the ‚Asian-Pacific-Economic-Cooperation‘ are held, as the tour guide proudly explained. It is indeed a impressive building in a round shape, settled at the bay with beautiful view. From there it’s just a short, wonderful stroll along the coast to the Haeundae Beach, which i visited just the day before (check my prior post).

That stroll gave us first opportunity to learn more about the tour participants and our guide. And of course the first selfies and tourist photos are taken as well.

more are coming. stay tuned…
