Riding the Sea Train

What is it like to glide through the air while gazing at the sea? Imagine the boundless azure ocean stretching before your eyes and beneath your feet—it promises to be an unforgettable experience. That’s why you must try a sea train journey at least once!

  1. Haeundae Coastal Train
    The Haeundae Coastal Train is a European-style retro train with all seats facing the sea. It is a sightseeing train that offers breathtaking views of the East Busan coastline along the route. Additionally, it serves as a convenient mode of transportation between Haeundae, Mipo, Cheongsapo, and Songjeong.

  2. Haeundae Sky Capsule Train
    The Haeundae Sky Capsule Train is a capsule-shaped mini train that runs on elevated tracks 7–10 meters above the ground. The train comes in vibrant colors like red, yellow, green, and blue. Within its cozy carriages, passengers can enjoy a leisurely, elevated view of the ocean, making for a romantic and fun experience.

The capsule train is a monorail that runs along a 2-kilometer route between Mipo and Cheongsapo. The journey takes about 30 minutes, offering picturesque scenery throughout the ride. No matter which direction you look, the views are equally captivating.

The Mipo Station is a bustling station adjacent to Haeundae. If you desire a quieter experience, you can opt to start from Cheongsapo Station. After arriving at Mipo Station, you can head to Haeundae Beach. From there, you can hike back to Cheongsapo and enjoy the scenic views along the way, often referred to as South Korea’s “Little Kamakura”. It’s an excellent travel route option.

It’s best to book the capsule train in advance. The one-way ticket price varies depending on the number of passengers. Each carriage can accommodate up to four adult passengers, but it’s recommended to have two people per carriage for a more relaxed experience and to avoid feeling rushed when taking photos.

  1. Gyeongsangbuk-do Coastal Train
    The Gyeongsangbuk-do Coastal Train has a total of four stations, with two stops along the way. Each stop is well worth getting off to explore and take memorable photos. Alternatively, you can have some photos taken with trains passing by at the stops. Either way, the results are stunning.

Everything was spectacular. You’ve been communicative and so helpful. It was a terrific mix of guided tours and enable us to freely explore. It is tricky to navigate without fully knowing the language. For our first visit as a family, it was extremely helpful to have the guides. I would like to send a note to Zicasso or your tour company manager to express my appreciation for the level of service. You can send to the Zicasso email platform if possible.

For your info for future customers, since I booked my flights directly with CX, Air China would not permit online check-in. This had to be done at the airport in person since they were the first flight, but they did check us all the way through if the tickets were on one record locator.
Thx you again!

We traveled to China during 05th May to 17th May, 2026. Here goes our comment.

Guilin & Yangshuo:

Mr. Tom was an excellent guide in every aspect. He made every experience a great adventure and beyond. With his energy and knowledge, he adjusted the schedule with extra activities such as visiting the pandas, which made it extra special. He is good at explaining everything in a clear and succinct way, since much is guiding us, we loved our time in China and couldn’t have done it without Tom. He is also frequently offering helpful knowledge we very much appreciated. He also took great pictures of us. Mr. Kong, the driver is very courteous & flexible.

Zhangjiajie, Furong & Fenghuang town:

Allen is a capable and smart guide who has an optimistic and patient personality. We feel fortunate to have her. She is very good at arranging the schedule and navigating the towns’ sights in an efficient manner. We appreciate her help to negotiate with the photographer and provide us good seats and advice. The driver Mr. Lee is a safe & excellent driver who is courteous to us, other drivers and pedestrians. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Zhengzhou area. The hotel was excellent!

Beijing:

Ray Liu is a very knowledgeable and smart guide with excellent English. We learned a lot from him about Chinese history, culture, and current life. He is on time and capable. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts and information, and it was easy to talk to him because he is friendly, talkative and has fluent English. Ray knows his way around & got us everywhere, and it was nice there was a charge port in the back. He can be more courteous to bikers & pedestrians, but we got everywhere safely.
