About

The Buksudong area, which had long been a bustling downtown after the construction of Hwaseong Fortress, fell into decline due to development regulations following its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage. In 2010, artists and residents joined forces to breathe life into the area by painting murals on old walls, and it became a representative success story of urban regeneration, receiving the Republic of Korea Gongganmunhwadaesang Daetongnyeongsang. Walking along unique themed alleys such as 'Saranghada-gil (Road of Love)' and 'Cheoeum Achim-gil (First Morning Road)', you can feel the atmosphere where art and retro sensibilities blend.
