It is the introduction of attractions and Things to do in Busan.
There are some information each places in Busan.
I hope you have a good travel time with this.

1. Haeundae beach

 Haeundae is the most famous beach in the country, meaning its white sand is almost entirely obscured during the summer months. Hemmed in by a four-story aquarium and a long row of hotels, the beach is just over a kilometer long and fifty meters wide, curving away from the Westin Joseon Beach Hotel in the east, straightening as it stretches in front of the Paradise Beach, the Hyatt, the grand, the New Beach and the Ocean Tower, and finally bending sharply before fading away at a tip in the west. The rocks and park behind the Joseon are the quietest part of the beach, with camellia trees, old women selling shellfish and a small mermaid statue perched on the rocks below; the rest of the beach is just a front for the commercial activity behind.

5. Yongdusan Park

 Yongdusan Park is as good a place as any to get a feel of the city. Signposted from Nampo-dong station, it's most easily reached by a covered escalator obviously modeled on the much larger one in Hong Kong, with cafes and bars across narrow strips of concrete on either side. The tower is mildly interesting architecturally, and just about worth the 2,500 won admission fee (or 3,200 won combined with entrance to the tiny aquarium at its base). The lift opens to a cafe, with the main observation floor up a further flight of stairs. The views of the city -- spreading back from a sea of blue to one of grey marked with explosions of high rise blocks and punctuated by tree covered mountains and container depots -- are impressive, giving at least a little order to the chaos down below. The photos of old Busan hanging on the walls -- the port in 1910, the railway station twenty years later -- are more likely to have come from different world than just a different century. Busan, with the exception of its tower, is not a city that stands still.

6. Busan Museum and U.N Cemetery

 Busan Museum provides a good introduction to the city's history, particularly events before and after the Korean War. The ground floor has colourful and engaging displays on the Prehistoric and Bronze Ages, before sweeping through the Gaya, Goryeo and Joseon periods. While the video displays are in Korean only the text accompanying the artefacts has been translated into pretty decent English.
 Contemporary Busan starts with photos of refugees flooding into the city during the Korean War and ends with a winding ramp down to a gift shop and special exhibitions hall. From the exit it's a short walk through the grounds to the U.N Cemetery (open daily from 9am - 4:30pm).
 Paths intersect the neatly tended rows of small headstones, continuing down to a large sculpture and monument listing the war dead and troops supplied by each country. The majority of the graves are from Britain and the Commonwealth along with almost five hundred Turkish troops and over a hundred Dutch. So far from home, I counted over fifty names from regiments raised in my part of England. As I left I wondered how many people back home even knew they were here.
 Danyeon is the nearest underground station to the museum. Take exit three, do a 180-degree turn, and take the first left.

11. Hur Shim Chung Spa

 Subway Oncheonjang (exit 1, cross the street and make a beeline for Hotel Nong Shim; it's connected by a walkway). This massive hot spring complex claims to be the largest in Asia: Noboribetsu might disagree, but it certainly is huge, with hot, tepid, cold and strawberry milk-filled baths, saunas, pools, and an outdoor section. On the 3rd floor is a large jjimjilbang resting area, containing (among other things) a restaurant, a beauty salon, an oxygen room, and three 'igloos' heated to 81¡ÆC, 51¡ÆC and 0¡ÆC. You'll get a key when you come in, use it to open your shoe and clothes lockers and pay for any purchases inside. Men's and women's spas are segregated but the resting area is shared, so pick up a robe before you head downstairs. There's also some signage in English to guide you around. Entry to the spa is W8000, plus W1000 for the jjimjilbang on Sunday/holidays only. You can stay as long as you want, but it gets quite crowded and noisy on weekends.

12. Taejongdae

 The park was named for King Taejong Muyul (654-661) of the Silla Dynasty who practiced archery here after unifying the Three Kingdoms. During the Joseon period, King Taejong (1400-1418) is reputed to have visited here for recreation and pleasure. The magistrate of Dongnae also came here during a major drought to offer prayers for rain. Taejongdae is one of the famous tourist attractions in Busan, with its white lighthouse overlooking the green sea. Many people enjoy eating fresh raw fish on the rocky shore, taking a boat around the Olyuk ('five or six') Islands, and seeing the famous 'Suicide Rock'. When the weather is nice, Daema Island can be seen in the distance, 56 km away. The scene from the observation deck is beautiful and the white lighthouse together with the green sea looks very exotic. The walk from the entrance to the lighthouse is quite long. However, a shuttle bus runs from the shops.
