I think the Busan Fireworks Festival must be one of the most spectacular in the world. I know that would seem unlikely, considering the fact that it’s not Sydney or New York – it’s not even a well-known city. But the fireworks last for 45 minutes and fill up the entire sky, framed by the gorgeous Diamond Bridge and ocean and I think they must be some of the best there are.
We were warned that going down to the beach to watch would be crazy because it would be so crowded, but all those people were wrong. We camped out in our own little blanket village for most of the day and while there were a ton of people, no question, it was also so great to be down there. We had tons of friends, food, and drinks and the day passed so quickly. Finding bathrooms was a fun challenge. Finding a convenience store without a line out the door was even more fun (and even more challenging). And the fireworks themselves were completely amazing.
I think I can count that whole day (and the night that came after) as one of my favourites from my time in Busan. We just had so much fun.
