Busan Bound | Korea's Santorini, right in Busan's Gamcheon Culture Village

❤ Busan is South Korea's second-largest city, extremely popular and no less vibrant than the capital, Seoul. Here you can find the winding Haeundae white sand beach, the bustling Jagalchi seafood market, the historic Dongnae hot springs, the youthful Seomyeon shopping district, and the colorful Gamcheon Culture Village. 🌟 Speaking of Gamcheon Culture Village, there's much to tell! At first glance, it's Korea's version of Santorini. Originally, it was a forgotten Moon Village, or rather, a slum of Korea, with just a nice name. Thanks to the joint efforts of local artists and islanders, the once gloomy and heavy area has been transformed into a rising tourist attraction in Busan with the addition of vibrant colors. 👍 Now, the place boasts the scenic beauty of Busan's mountainous fortresses, fairy-tale-like colorful houses, the beloved Little Prince and his fox, with every corner being a perfect spot for photos. Following the stairs of the Cheonghak-dong waterway up to the observation deck, you can overlook the entire Gamcheon Culture Village, as well as the lush green mountains, the deep blue sea, and the stunning sunset. ✅ Besides the scenery, Gamcheon Culture Village also has many souvenir shops selling local patterned scarves and other memorabilia. In the area, you can also taste many local specialties, such as fish cakes and fried fish. And when you're tired, there are plenty of cafes and cold drink shops for rest. 💰 Admission: Free, some small attractions charge a fee and tickets can be purchased on site. 🕙 Opening hours: All day. 🚉 Transportation: Generally, from Seoul to here, you can take a one-hour flight, or a KTX train for about 2 hours and 40 minutes. A special note, the prices for planes and trains are basically the same, so choose according to your needs. There's also a more economical option of taking an express bus, which takes over 4 hours, and traffic jams can extend the time, but the price is really attractive, only half the price of planes and trains. 📝 Note: Although Gamcheon Culture Village is a tourist spot, it is also home to a large number of residents, so it's important to keep quiet and not to take photos inside private homes. 📍 Address: 203 Gamnae 2-ro, Sasang-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, South Korea.
