8 Reasons to visit Busan

Why 8 you ask? Probably it's auspicious or people here in has caught on the 發發發 trend of commercialisation. Various districts in Busan has came up with poetry like phrases to describe the best 8 scenery of their respective districts, while Busan city itself is going for product differentiation but still maintain the lucky number 8. Suyeong, Haeundae, Geumjeong, Dadae (in Saha) and Sasang has their own list. You can see some explanation here, or you can click on the links I added. Note that Suyeong website seems to miss out one in the explanation.

So here is the list I compiled for quick reference. Since I'm not good at translating poetic text, I keep it as it is, but I added Hanja for those of you like me who prefer Hanja for understanding.
