Gamcheon Culture Village

Gamcheon Culture Village is a town within Gamcheon-dong, Saha District, Busan, South Korea. The area is known for its layered streets, twisted labyrinth-like alleys, and brightly painted houses, which have been restored and enhanced in recent years to attract tourism.

Built on a steep mountain-side slope, the village has been nicknamed “Korea’s Santorini” and the “Machu Picchu of Busan”.

The village was formed in the 1920s and 30s, when the government relocated poor people to an out-of-the-way location, and in 2009, an art movement was introduced to revitalize the area.

Today, the village is a popular tourist destination, with visitors drawn to its unique architecture, vibrant street art, and picturesque views.

It’s an interesting part of Busan and if you enjoy taking pictures it provides a perfect backdrop.
