About

Started as a home for Korean war refugees in the 1950s, this place creates a unique landscape with pastel-toned houses built in terraces along the mountainside. Like its nickname "Machu Picchu of Busan", walking along the maze-like alleys makes the entire village feel like a giant art museum. In this place where the living spaces of residents and art harmonize, it is a lot of fun to discover hidden artworks everywhere, such as the Little Prince and Desert Fox sculptures.

Take wonderful photos against the backdrop of the colorful village, and make special memories while overlooking the Port of Busan from the hill.
