Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is situated on the coast of the north-eastern portion of Busan. This superb attraction offers visitors the rare find of a temple along the shore line as most temples in Korea are located in the mountains. Haedong Yonggungsa Temple was first built in 1376 by the great Buddhist teacher known as Naong during the Goryeo dynasty.

The temple was destroyed during the Imjin War, then rebuilt by Monk Ungang of Tongdosa Temple in the early 1930s. In 1974, Monk Jeongam became the abbot of the monastery with the duty to restore of the temple. During his 100-day prayer, he had a dream of Aalokitesvara Bodhisattva ascending to the heavens on a dragon's back, which became the origin of the temple's name.

Yeonhwari Hoetchon Village is located within 5 minutes by car from Daebyeon Port. Around 50 hoe (sliced raw fish) restaurants are in business around Yeonhwa Port, where visitors can enjoy the superb view of Jukdo Island. In particular, raw fish is cut in different shapes depending on the meat, and redfish is usually made thicker than white fish. White fish should be thinly sliced and soaked in cold water to fully enjoy it; as the meat shrinks, the texture is amazing. The chef's generosity and eloquence make the fish taste even more delicious and memorable.
