Strolling through Busan's Gamcheon Culture Village | Witnessing Korea's Santorini

Busan's Gamcheon Culture Village was once a hilltop slum, in the 1950s, Korean War refugees fled here, making it impoverished. In recent years, the Busan government along with some artists and local villagers have painted the old houses in bright colors, turning it into a picturesque tourist destination like a postcard. 🏠【Environment Introduction】 Gamcheon Village is composed of colorful little houses, and walking along the semi-circular route around the valley, it takes about 30 minutes to walk through without stopping. There are cafes and cultural and creative shops in the village. The most popular activity is taking photos with The Little Prince, but you need to queue for it. Of course, it's best to come when the sky is blue and the clouds are white, as it's not as pretty on rainy days. 🚌【Transportation Method】 Take the subway or bus from your hotel, then transfer to minibuses like 2-2, 2, 1-1 to go up the mountain. 🚗【Busan Transportation】 Busan has a subway system, but almost all attractions such as Haeundae and Gamcheon Village are not accessible by subway, so you need to take the bus. It is recommended to buy a transportation card at the airport or convenience store for 3,000 Korean won each, and then you can recharge it at subway stations or convenience stores starting from 1,000 Korean won. With the transportation card, you can freely take any public transport. 🏨【Busan Accommodation】 The price of hotels in Busan starts at around 400 RMB, with prime locations going up to 600 or 700 RMB. Most hotels have a check-in time of 3 PM, but some may have check-in at 6 PM, so be sure to check the rules carefully.
