Took an early morning run through the streets of Seomyeon and reached a fairly large park, the Busan Citizens Park. It’s a fairly large park, I’m guessing roughly 3-4km all around. This entire park used to the the HQ of the Imperial Japanese Army during WW2 and thereafter the former site of US Military in Busan. It was still quiet, with only a handful of runners and a few senior citizens out and about their daily routines.

Read moreBusan citizen park is the most loveliest place to hangout with your family and friends. This place is well connected and the entire park is in a flat region. There are several gates to enter the park. The park have different areas for children's play (sand area), different physical activity area for children's as well as elders. In the middle a green field welcomes you to play run and do whatever you want. The green field was surrounded by trees which gives you ample space to take rest under them.

And yes no need to say most of the Korean parks are free of cost to enter and enjoy. Have a...
Read moreDecided to go to Busan Citizens Park because of the kids, on a Saturday. It turned out to be way bigger and more fun that we imagined. It is more than a big park. It spans across a large area and has multiple playground, bathrooms, a maze, building such as 3D movie for kids, a kids library and some cafe/snack area. It was quite busy and people from all ages enjoyed the park. Families enjoyed the open spaces to play kites badminton, walk their dog and young and old enjoy running and walking around the park/ circuit. A fantastic park for all ages. Clean with convenient amenities. There also has several water fountains across the park but unfortunately as we went in the cold season (February), the water fountains were...
