Busan's beaches are the big summertime draw but there is plenty to be seen year round. Quintessential experiences include taking some rest and relaxation at a local spa and exploring the Beomeosa temple complex.

UN Memorial Cemetery

Nam-gu Fodor's Choice

A visit here serves as a reminder of Korea's recent past and the continuing state of political affairs on the peninsula. During the Korean War, almost 41,000 UN soldiers lost their lives; and approximately 2,300 people, from eleven nations, are interred here. While all of the fallen from the USA and seven other countries have been repatriated, the flags of the twenty-one nations that participated fly over the cemetery today.
