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.

▲ Taejongdae Recreation Area, known for its fantastic views of coastal cliffs, and appearing on the list for the sixth time.
▲ Haeundae Beach, the representative beach of Busan, situated amid tall skyscrapers, luxury hotels, restaurants, an observatory presenting city and beach views, and a beach-side train with plenty of other things to enjoy. Along with nearby Songjeong Beach, it is one of the nation’s best beaches and loved by domestic and international visitors alike. This marks the fifth time it has appeared on the list since 2013.
