With its exquisite Spanish Baroque Revival décor, the theater’s lobby exudes old-world charm, while the 1,364-seat auditorium boasts grand columns and a stunning hand-painted ceiling that mimics a vibrant desert sunset. Over the years, the Orpheum has welcomed a wide range of talent, including renowned musicians like Bryan Adams and Feist, as well as comedians such as Lewis Black.

Spanning 140 acres, with 55 acres under cultivation, the Desert Botanical Garden showcases over 50,000 plants in carefully curated outdoor exhibits. From towering cacti to vibrant desert wildflowers, this oasis celebrates the resilience and splendor of plants adapted to arid environments. Visitors can begin their journey at the Ottosen Entry Garden and then explore the winding Harriet K. Maxwell Desert Wildflower Loop Trail or the Desert Discovery Loop Trail. The latter serves as the garden’s main artery, connecting visitors to all trails, exhibits, and seasonal art installations. With educational programs, desert conservation efforts, and stunning nighttime exhibits like Las Noches de las Luminarias, the Desert Botanical Garden offers a fascinating and immersive experience for nature lovers, photographers, and families alike.

This fabulous walking trail on the southern end of Yeongdo Island, just off the coast of mainland Busan, runs along a rugged coastline of scenic cliffs. Bring sturdy walking shoes if you're planning a hike (it should take anywhere between 1 and 3 hours, depending on your speed and stops), or opt for the tourist train that makes stops at all major attractions and lookout points.
