Busan Gamcheon Culture Village

During the Korean War, refugees who fled to Busan and followers settled here, building their own houses on bare ground and forming a small village . As refugees poured in, the flatlands of Busan were filled with urban areas, and eventually villages were formed even on mountain slopes that had been uninhabited. In 2007, the new town project that was in full swing at the time was against it. It was eventually abandoned due to opposition from the local residents. Afterwards, instead of abandoning the existing redevelopment method of demolishing all existing buildings and building new ones, the urban regeneration project was promoted as a so-called preservation-type redevelopment . As the Gamcheon Culture Village project was carried out, the good scenery and atmosphere created by the unique topography of this place spread through word of mouth, and it became known as a tourist destination. In 2024, it grew into a famous tourist destination with over 2.5 million annual visitors.
