Korea, Busan : 해운대 beach

En français
The guest house I was staying at in 부산 was just in front of 해운대 beach. So I went there after letting my backpack. I walk first East along the beach and met with some fishes in the restaurant aquarium at the end of the beach, then I went all the way back to the West part of the beach. It was a nice walk. A lot of people where sitting there, playing frisbee or running in the water.

Korea : On the way to Busan

En français
I took the ferry back to Mokpo to spend the night at the same hotel, the beach in front of the hotel was very beautiful. The next morning I took the bus for 부산 (Buｓan). This was maybe the like miss planing in this trip I should have gone directly from 제주 (Jeju) island to 부산 to save time, but the scenery between Mokpo and Busan was really beautiful.

Then I wanted to see the other waterfall but I didn't have too much time before taking to ferry back to Mokpo. So we went to 외돌개, 외돌개 is a 20 meters volcanic basalt pillar going out of the ocean, it was form from a volcanic eruption about 1.5 million years ago. The legend said that a general of the Korean army scared away the Mongolian invaders using it. The Mongolians soldiers were so scared of the giant rock soldier that they committed suicide.

After the museum contrarily to Xu Fu, we headed East to the 정방폭포  (Jeongbang) Waterfall. The Waterfall is 23 meter high and it is the only waterfall in Asia that falls directly onto the ocean. The legend says that a holy dragon lived underneath it and that that the dragon's spirit is contained in the water which can cure diseases and bring rain during drought. It's a very nice waterfall that you really want to see.
