The Korea Tourism Organization and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism have jointly compiled the “100 Must-Visit Tourist Spots of Korea” list every two years since 2013 to promote the spots both domestically and internationally. The list is selected based on an evaluation by tourism specialists and big data analysis of popular tourism locations in the country.
Among the eight tourist spots in Busan listed in the latest issue are;
▲ Taejongdae Recreation Area, known for its fantastic views of coastal cliffs, and appearing on the list for the fifth time.

It is one of the nation’s best beaches. This marks the fourth time it has appeared on the list since 2013.
