South Korea Trip 2025 - Day Two - Sky Capsule in Haeundae, Busan, South Korea Part 3 (Sky Capsule from Cheongsapo Station to Mipo Station) and Haeundae Traditional Market

From Cheongsapo Station, we were so lucky that we could purchase the sky capsule without any queue. We could just board the sky capsule straight away unlike at Mipo Station, we need queue for at least few hours unless purchase online and make reservation.

We paid 40,000 won for the one way sky capsule ride.

The ride from Cheongsapo station to Mipo Station is about 30 minutes. It was a slow ride. Best take one way only and the other way by the beach train. The sky capsule was so cute.

We could view the twin light houses from the sky capsule.

View of the glass bridge that extends to the sea. We did not  attempt to walk on the glass bridge cause it was so cold.

Video of the sky capsules

After the sightseeing at the Blueline Park and the sky capsule and beach train ride, we walked over to the Haeundae Traditional Market.

For lunch, we came across this small korean shop where we ordered our food from the vending machine and paid with my Singapore Trust Card. We dont even need to communicate hahaha.

Our lunch was so cheap, less than S$10 for two of us.

Hubby fall in love with the chilli sauce, we actually came here again another day for dinner.

South Korea Trip 2025 - Day Two - Sky Capsule in Haeundae, Busan, South Korea Part 2 (Light houses in Cheongsapo Station)

After the beach train ride, we walked around Cheongsapo Station. Spotted the train crossing the road. Quickly took a video of the train. It looked better if I was at the other side of the train with the sea in the background. Did not bother to wait for another train as it was too freezing cold with the sea wind blowing at two old folks hahaha.

Very nice view of the sea with the lighthouse in the background.

I think these breakwater rocks are known as Tetrapod. It prevent erosion caused by weather and sea.

There's actually two lighthouses in Cheongsapo Station. One red and the other is white.

Day 2 morning, walked from our hotel to Haeundae Beach where we had our breakfast at Starbuck. We did not choose to have buffet breakfast at our hotel, our breakfast at starbucks  costs about 16,400 won for 2 of us. Buffet breakfast at hotel costs about 29,000 won per person.

There's lots of coffee houses, macdonald , etc along Haeundae stretch of road.

Spotted so many Doraemon  

After breakfast, we walked along Haeundae Beach towards the two or three tall blue buildings. The tall blue buildings are Haeundae LCT The Sharp Complex where  Busan X  the sky Observatory located.

After  walking past the blue tall buildings, turn to the left and walked straight for about 10 minutes.

After walking about 10 minutes or so, spotted the banner for Haeundae Blueline Park where the sky capsule were located.

We just crossed over to the other side of the road and walked towards Mipo station to take the sky capsule.

Needless to say, the sky capsule is so popular. The waiting time to sit the sky capsule is about 2 to 3 hours if we did not book online. we did not book online so not going to wait for 2 to 3 hours to board the sky capsule. We bought the beach train tickets instead.  We bought only one way for one stop cost 8000 per person. We planned to alight at the Cheongsapo Station.

The beach train operates every 20 minutes, and it took us less than 10 minutes to reach Cheongsapo Station from Mipo Station.

We could not find any seats so we had to stand at the back but got a good view of the sea.

Finally, we reach Cheongsapo Station and it was very cold even though is was March 2025, this year spring was extremely cold, we even saw falling snow on our last day in Seoul hahaha.

South Korea Trip 2025 - Day One - Shilla Stay Hotel in Haeundae, Busan, South Korea

After a long day, we finally arrived at our hotel in the afternoon. We got a good hotel that closed to Haeundae Beach and the sea. It is very convenient and about 10 minutes walk to the subway and near Haeundae Traditional Market and Haeundae Beach Street where there's a lot of cafes and restaurants and shops where all the happenings are.

The room is very spacious and comes with a sofa corner and a desk.

There are toiletries but toothbrushes are chargeable at 1000 won each.

Complimentary mineral water

From our hotel  window, we could see the beach and the sea.

Just opposite Shilla Stay Hotel is L7 Hotel Busan and a Macdonald Restaurant.

Nice view of the beach and sea during the day and night from our hotel window.

Right below the hotel is a 24 hour emart.   South Korea is a card country. I did not change much korean won for my 10 days stay in South Korea, I mostly used my Trust Card to pay for all my expenses in South Korea. The exchange rate is as good as the money changer back in Singapore.
