@ GAMCHEON CULTURE VILLAGE IN BUSAN.
Gamcheon Culture Village (Korean: 감천문화마을) 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".

Busan is truly underrated...
Honestly, I think Busan is much more fun than Seoul! The scenery is more beautiful and closer to nature 🌊. There are many Instagram-worthy spots for amazing photos 📷, and the seaside has lovely shops and cafes ☕️, perfect for those looking to relax! I've put together a travel guide ✏️, feel free to save it if you need it~
———
1⃣️ Transportation: You can choose to fly directly to Busan from your country or take the KTX after visiting Seoul 🚄. KTX tickets can be booked online in advance, and you can board directly at the station! Korean train stations are super convenient, with no ticket checks or security screenings!
———
2⃣️ SIM Card: You can get an "LG U+" combo card 🎫, which costs about 90 RMB 💰 for unlimited data and transportation! After inserting the SIM card into your phone 📱, the remaining plastic card serves as a T-money card, so you don't need to buy an extra TMONEY card!
———
3⃣️ Busan Pass: It allows free access to over 40 attractions and can be used as a transportation card! I recommend getting a 48-hour pass 🎫, saving you over 200 RMB in two days! Make sure to visit Busan Lotte World on the last day! Just enter the park before the pass expires!
———
4⃣️ Must-visit Attractions:
✅ Haedong Yonggungsa Temple: The most beautiful temple in Korea 🌊, located on a seaside cliff.
✅ Cheongsapo: Known as "Busan's Little Kamakura" 🌊, with a seaside railway track that feels like a hot-blooded manga!
✅ Capsule Train: A retro-style colorful train offering stunning sea views, perfect for photos!
✅Gamcheon Culture Village: A fairytale-like town with colorful houses on the hillside 🎨.
✅ Baekseom Cultural Village: A super artistic coastal village with many beautiful cafes ☕️.
✅ Songdo Marine Cable Car: A super long cross-sea cable car 🚠 with a crystal cabin offering a transparent view of the sea below 👀.

Busan Gamcheon Culture Village: Save Your Time!
It's highly likely that Busan's must-visit attractions are synonymous with Gamcheon Village, but considering the travel time and costs, the only highlight being a photo with the Little Prince which takes over an hour, and the surprisingly short art village, unless you have relatives or friends living nearby that you need to visit, just pass on this one! 😂
✔️Transportation: Located on the western side, you need to get to 'Toseong Station', on the same line as Jagalchi Station, and then take buses 1-1, 2-2, etc. up the mountain! Don't even think about walking, it's a super steep slope! If you have a bigger budget, taking a taxi is another option.
✔️Culture Village? Art Town? Oh my god~ The whole village feels very artificial, with cartoon walls, Little Prince series, and scattered handicrafts everywhere. The route is inexplicably short; of course, you can climb the alleys and stairs to create a literary atmosphere, but it's just painted colors, sorry, didn't get the culture vibe 😅
✔️The photo with the Little Prince and the fox 🦊 requires a long queue, although there are guides and everyone is very orderly. The view of the colorful houses is beautiful, but traveling all the way here just to queue for a long time, without any planned activities around, unless it's a living celebrity, it's not worth it... especially for a fictional book character 🤔
🌟The Busan Pass offers a free hanbok experience there, which is a plus if you think the hanbok experience is important‼️
Finally, because we walked too fast and didn't want to queue for the photo, we followed the guide down an alley, only to get lost among the sparsely populated colorful houses...

I flew to Busan just for these photos.
Busan was the biggest surprise of my trip to Korea. The weather was great during my two days there. Unlike Seoul, Busan has the unique charm of a coastal city. If you have enough time, be sure to spend a few more days here!
📸 These are the photos I took of Busan. Here are the locations:
1️⃣ A classic Busan photo spot
📍 Near Cheongsapo Station. Many people take photos nearby.
2️⃣ Capsule train and lighthouse
📍 Search for "Ocean Breeze" on Google. After arriving, walk a little further up the slope. You'll see an abandoned building. The photo spot is on the platform in front of the building.
3️⃣ Capsule train and village
📍 Search for "Simmian" on Google. It's next to this store.
4️⃣5️⃣ My favorite Busan night view photo spot
📍 Search for "Cafe Cloud Hill" on the map.
6️⃣ Gamcheon Culture Village
📍 The observation deck on the commercial street of the culture village.
7️⃣ Capsule train and jelly sea
📍 Search for "Dalmaji-gil Observation Deck" on the map.
8️⃣ Capsule train at sunset
📍 The main road where the first photo was taken. The sidewalk is on the side of the capsule train.

Gamcheon Culture Village - Vibrant Colors
Gamcheon Culture Village, with its rows of colorful terraced houses along the mountainside, is often referred to as 'The Santorini of South Korea' or Busan's Santorini. The village is beautifully decorated with vibrantly-painted murals and interesting sculptures. The alleyways, staircases, and winding streets add an exotic charm, making it a picturesque place for visitors to explore.
To get there, take Line 1 to Toseong Station (exit 6). Walk straight, turn right at the first junction onto Kkachigogae-ro, and walk forward 140 meters to reach the bus stop. Take bus Sakha 1/1-1 to Gamcheon Culture Village stop, which takes about 10-15 minutes. After getting off the bus, walk back 30 meters in the direction the bus came from and turn left to reach the entrance of Gamcheon Culture Village.
By taxi, it takes about 10 minutes from BIFF Square, Jagalchi Market, or Jagalchi Station; 20 minutes from Busan Station; or 40-45 minutes from Haeundae Beach.

September in Busan 🍂
#autumnseason
September is one of the best times to visit Busan, as the summer heat fades and the weather becomes pleasantly mild. The city’s beaches, like Haeundae and Gwangalli, are still warm enough for a swim or a relaxing day by the water, but with fewer crowds compared to peak summer. The cooler evenings make it ideal for exploring Busan’s vibrant neighborhoods such as Gamcheon Culture Village, markets and scenic spots.
The beginning of autumn also brings the first signs of changing leaves in the city’s parks, like Busan Citizens Park and Geumjeongsan Mountain, offering a glimpse of the coming fall. September is also the month for festivals, such as the Busan International Fireworks Festival, making the city even more lively and exciting. Whether you're into beach relaxation, hiking, or cultural exploration, September in Busan offers a perfect mix of activities with refreshing weather to match.

The Colourful Gamcheon Culture Village in Busan 🌈
If you’re visiting Busan in South Korea, then Gamcheon Culture Village should definitely be on your list of places to visit! It’s famous for it’s colourful houses, street art, shops and cafes.
The area used to be a shanty town, housing refugees of the Korean War in the 1950s. In 2009, the government helped plan the Gamcheon Culture Village Project to transform the village. Local artists, students and community members all came together to make it into what we see today. It’s now one of the most popular tourist sites in all of South Korea!
Getting there:
🚇 The closest subway station is Toseong Station. Leave through exit 6 and you will see signs to the village.
🚌 Then you will need take the green minibus 2-2-2 or 1-1.
🚕 Alternatively, take a taxi. It’s a very steep hill so walking is not really recommended to get up there.
There is one main path that takes you all the way around the village, but I recommend walking down the smaller and narrower paths and getting lost! You never know what you will find. There are so many souvenir shops, small coffee shops and even museums. There is so much street art that it’s worth exploring to see what you can find.

Recommended to stay near Busan Station, there is a street full of hotels right outside the station, making it convenient to go anywhere.
day1️⃣
Hope 192 Stairs near Busan Station
Popular community cable car 🚡, take the bus from Busan Station for 20 stops to get there (the distance between stops is very short, mountain road). This is also a mural village, you can go early to stroll around.
Haeundae 'Little Kamakura' seaside small train, capsule train
Navigation: Haeundae Blueline Park (there is a direct bus from Busan Station, the subway is far), you can take the seaside train or capsule train, 'Little Kamakura' is at Cheongsapo Station. Find a grilled scallop or grilled eel restaurant by the sea at Cheongsapo and eat in a small building by the sea, it's very enjoyable.
Squat in a sea view toilet 🚽, have a cup of coffee at the world's highest Starbucks
X THE SKY by Haeundae Beach, the elevator going up feels like a time tunnel, there is a sea view glass floor on the 100th floor, if you are afraid of heights, crawl over it. Don't forget to visit the highest sea view toilet at the world's highest Starbucks.
Gwangalli SPA LAND Jjimjilbang
This is a newly opened place, most jjimjilbangs are concentrated near Gwangalli and Haeundae. Be sure to buy a portion of hot spring eggs and sweet rice wine! The first floor is traditional jjimjilbang, the second floor has very unique jjimjilbang rooms, highly recommended!
For dinner, go to the alley opposite Busan Station, there is an old pork soup restaurant 'Bonjeon Pork Soup', always has long queues, good value for money and taste, but it closes at 8:30 PM, go early.
day2️⃣
Crystal Seaside Cable Car 🚡 ❗️Not for those afraid of heights
Busan Station is very close to Songdo, mainly for the seaside cable car here. We bought the Busan Pass which can be exchanged for a regular ticket, added 5,000 KRW to take the crystal cable car.
Dragon Palace to feel the sea breeze
A viewing platform that looks like a dragon, separate ticket required, we bought the Busan Pass card, directly free.
Take the Busan city bus to Baeksan Beach Cultural Village, there are many boutique shops here, you can eat sea view ramen with the sea breeze.
When tired of walking, find a café to sit and watch the sea, highly recommend the foot bath sea view café.
A few kilometers up the mountain from Baeksan Beach, there is a sea view café featured in Busan promotional videos, sit on the steps, drink coffee and watch the sea, there are band performances in the evening.
Gamcheon Culture Village
The Little Prince of Busan is here! This time I changed into Hanbok and took a photo with the Little Prince.
A dopamine-colored small village, the residential clusters built along the mountain are very impressive.
A very popular shop in the village makes movie animation books, you have to queue for a long time, if you want to take photos, at least leave 1 hour, it's very fun with friends.
The small bus up and down Gamcheon is also part of the experience, the mountain road is very steep, almost drifting at the hairpin turns.
Buy the Busan Pass 48h card, all the essence of Busan can be directly exchanged for tickets, plan your route well, it's really worth it, recommend choosing the physical card, the card is also a bus card, with 3,000 KRW inside, you can recharge at convenience stores when used up, you can also check the balance on the recharge machines in Seoul, not sure if it can be used directly in Seoul, feel free to add 🫰

There’s warmth that covers the whole village,

The artistic atmosphere lives on in the alleys where the village of pastel-colored houses is beautifully lined up like a maze.

Busan Pass 48-Hour Guide: Making the Most of It!
Today, I decided to take the beach train I wanted to ride yesterday. Traveling alone is liberating, but it also meant I didn't leave until after noon. By the time I got to Haeundae, it was already past 1 PM, and the only tickets left were for after 3 PM.
Haeundae Beach Train
• Price: 12,000 KRW, free round-trip tickets with Busan Pass
• Features: Scenic beach views, leisurely travel experience
After exchanging my ticket, I went to grab a meal to kill time. Since I'll be coming back with friends in two weeks, I just took the train and quietly walked to the beach, then used another Busan Pass ticket for Busan X The SKY. The view from the top was stunning, and it would be even more beautiful at night.
Busan X The SKY
• Price: 27,000 KRW, free with Busan Pass
• Features: High-altitude observation deck, magnificent city and ocean views
After that, I planned to head back to the hotel area to shop, but while waiting at a traffic light, I noticed another Busan Pass attraction, Ryan Holiday in Busan. I exchanged a ticket and went in. It's a cute photo spot, and I left after 10 minutes.
On the way back, I thought of another place to visit, a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna), which was on the way home. Since it was still early, I decided to go for a bath. Although not as luxurious as SPA Land, it had a sauna and a high-temperature oven 🥵. The highlight was the bath area with a view of the Gwangan Bridge, and I even got to watch a fireworks show while soaking. It was a pleasant surprise!
However, this place is purely for bathing and can't compare to SPA Land...
Hotel Aqua Palace Spa & Sauna
• Price: 30,000 KRW, free with Busan Pass
• Features: Bath area with a view of Gwangan Bridge and fireworks show
After the bath, I felt relaxed and went home to sleep, ending the day.
—The Next Day—
The weather was great this morning, and I got up early to make the most of my Busan Pass before it expired. If used wisely, you can use it for three consecutive days within 48 hours!
One-Day Sightseeing Bus
• Price: 20,000 KRW (unfortunately not available on Mondays and Tuesdays)
I first went to Songdo to take the cable car. The weather really makes a difference; the scenery was breathtaking. Since I went early, there was no line, and I enjoyed the view while wandering around.
Songdo Cable Car
• Price: 15,000 KRW, free with Busan Pass
• Features: Stunning sea views and a peaceful beach
Then I returned to Nampo and found a place for lunch. I saw Baek Jong-won's Chinese restaurant and went in. After having jajangmyeon yesterday, I tried the seafood noodles today, which were affordable and delicious.
Taking advantage of the good weather, I quickly headed to Gamcheon Culture Village, which is less crowded on weekdays. Due to the Double Ten holiday, there were many Taiwanese tourists.
Gamcheon Culture Village also has many places where you can use the Busan Pass, but since my time had expired, I couldn't exchange any more tickets.
Busan Pass Trip Summary
I bought the 48-hour Busan Pass for 69,000 KRW. Here are the places I visited and their original prices:
1. Skyline Luge Busan - 27,000 KRW
2. SPA Land - 20,000 KRW
3. Diamond Bay Yacht - 20,000 KRW
4. Haeundae Beach Train - 12,000 KRW
5. Busan X The SKY - 27,000 KRW
6. Ryan Holiday in Busan - 20,000 KRW
7. Hotel Aqua Palace Spa & Sauna - 30,000 KRW
8. Songdo Cable Car - 15,000 KRW
9. Songdo Yonggung Suspension Bridge - 1,000 KRW
Total value: 172,000 KRW, saving about 60% with the Pass.
Taoyuan Airport Overnight Experience
I also experienced an overnight stay at Taoyuan Airport. Since there were no buses to Taichung at midnight, and a private car would cost 2,800 TWD, it wasn't worth it for one person. Being a good sleeper, I naturally fell asleep, but the airport air conditioning was very cold. I woke up at 3 AM and took the first bus to Taichung at 4 AM, then a bus to Nantou, seamlessly arriving at work by 8 AM.

My First Solo Trip to Busan Cultural Village
This time, I went on a solo trip to Busan, South Korea!
I used buses and trains for transportation!
Although it took nearly two hours to reach my destination because the place I was staying was far away, it didn't bother me at all.
The cultural village has several street stalls and a few shops where you can buy souvenirs⭐️
I bought a Little Prince phone case.
Since there are many uneven paths, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes😊

🇰🇷Find the Little Prince at GAMCHEON Culture Village🫅🏻✨
Annyeong👋🏻 Gamcheol Culture Village or the Little Prince Village👑 is a popular tourist attraction in Busan that Thais who visit Korea must check in at. When we went, it was April, which was spring🍃. The weather was nice and cool, around 18 degrees🥶
🚘We traveled by calling a taxi from the Kakao app. When we arrived, we saw a large village entrance sign. This village has many colors🌈, giving a feeling like being in Santorini. Wherever you look, there are only pastel colors. There are many painted patterns about the Little Prince on the walls🥰. There are many photo spots here. The path is quite steep because it is near the mountains⛰️
🚶🏻♀️➡️As you walk further, you will see a long line of people🫨. Because this point is a landmark of the statue of the Little Prince and the fox😲 that everyone wants to take a picture with. The view you will get will be both the mountains and the colorful village🫠. It is very worth waiting in line for a long time🥹
🎨And along the way, there are many cute souvenir shops, such as a postcard shop🎑 with lots of Little Prince designs💕 We bought 1 for 5,000 won to write and send back to someone in Thailand😊 And the seller said that it would take about 2 weeks to send from Korea to Thailand, but now it's been a month and we still haven't received it, so we're still waiting 🥹~~~~
Before going back, we stopped to buy more souvenirs, a T-shirt with a Little Prince print🫅🏻 a wind-up doll🧸 and stopped to buy some food, totaling about 50,000 won😌

Korea's 'Little Shanghai' | 'Busan'
| 'Busan'. Busan is the second largest city in Korea and also an international metropolis. It is known for its deep-water good harbor and is the largest port in Korea, making it one of the logistics centers in Asia.
Whether it's the mountainous and river scenery or its maritime views, it's an ideal place for tourism and sightseeing.
Best Season for Tourism:
The best season to visit Busan is in spring and autumn.
During these times, the sky in Busan is clear, and the climate is pleasant.
In spring, the sun shines brightly, and flowers bloom in abundance.
In autumn, the fall leaves decorate the world in colorful and rich hues.
Experience Busan's most representative tourist attractions:
Gamcheon Culture Village
Known as 'Busan's Santorini' for its unique and artistic scenery, this place was once a rundown slum. Later, with the push of Busan's 'Alley Art Project,' it became a well-known cultural spot.
The village's murals are the work of volunteers from around the world, attracting countless tourists for photos.
Haeundae
One of the eight scenic views of Korea, an important venue for domestic and international cultural events, the water temperature at Haeundae stays between 45 to 50 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
Bathing in the hot springs here can make the body healthier.
The sprawling beach is covered with thick fine sand, soft and smooth to the touch. As night falls, under the warm yellow lights of Busan, the beach becomes even more tranquil.

Busan Gamcheon Culture Village.
I strongly recommend getting the 2,000 won stamp tour map from the tourist center because it provides a route that allows you to see all the hidden gems of the village. The path was not difficult to navigate at all. I spent a total of 3 hours there. Don't miss the photo deck on the 4th floor of the community center.
Conveniently located near public transportation, this wonderful cultural village is worth the many walks and numerous steps when you go. You can spend an hour here or get lost in the back alleys for half a day. There is a lot of culture and art, and an interesting history as the village was once a refugee camp. It's a good idea to pay a small fee to get a stamp collection map because there is a good route to follow.
There are plenty of opportunities to take fun photos with noticeable scenic backgrounds and amazing murals. Many tourists enjoy the on-site costume rental that adds to the fun. Food and drink options are mostly a variety of bakeries/cafes. There are a few street food vendors, including a man cooking food with a butane torch over a fire grill! It's visually interesting and quite tasty. I highly recommend this place for a great half-day outing.
A wonderful cultural site; perfect for Instagram-worthy views. Highly recommended. Riding up and down is quite interesting; it took skill to maneuver the small bus around sharp corners and small streets.

For this seaside train trip, I want to go to Busan 10,000 more times!
Just finished a week's trip to Korea, and Busan left a deep impression on me! 🤩 Compared to Seoul, Busan is not only more cost-effective but also has beautiful seascapes that only exist in animations. 🎉 For the sake of taking this romantic seaside train, I want to go to Busan 10,000 more times! 🚂
🌊 Busan Two-Day Tour Guide:
Day1: Busan Station - Gamcheon Culture Village - Hujeon Village
Day2: Haeundae - Capsule Train - Busan Gwangalli Beach - Seomyeon Market
🚃 Gwangalli Beach Travel Tips:
1. The capsule train has two routes, one from Gwangalli Beach to Oepo (Haeundae), and the other from Oepo (Haeundae) to Gwangalli Beach. The second route is more crowded, but the first route is also great~ 😊
2. If you want to experience the seaside train, just navigate directly to Gwangalli Beach. Remember to use papayo navigation for more accuracy! 🧐 There are also many coffee shops near Gwangalli Beach, perfect for enjoying a coffee while watching the seaside sunset. 🌅
3. The photo spot in the first picture is on a slope looking towards the sea with a telephoto lens, just wait for the seaside train to pass by and snap it, there will be a train every few minutes~ 🚄
4. Next to this spot, using a telephoto lens to shoot the capsule train also produces great photos, and you can capture the beautiful sunset glow during sunset! 🌇
5. It is recommended to take the capsule train around 1 pm for better lighting and more photogenic shots~ 🤳
Come to Busan and experience this romantic seaside journey! 😘

Recommended winter travel destinations: 5 days and 4 nights in Busan
Today I would like to recommend my winter travel destination to you - Busan, South Korea
[Reason for recommendation]
-Busan has a strong cultural and artistic atmosphere. It has scenery, food and culture, and is very suitable for short trips.
- Busan is not very cold in winter, so it’s a good time to layer up. It’s easy to match Korean drama outfits and is suitable for taking photos.
[Recommended check-in places]
✔️Taizongtai
It has a beautiful view of the blue sea and strange rocks, and it is free. You can hike here or choose to take the scenic train (additional tickets are required). Remember to go to the platform below the lighthouse to taste the seafood just caught by the haenyeo. It is really the authentic taste from the sea!
✔️Haeundae
You can hold hot coffee and watch the sunrise on the beach in winter, or you can sit on the beach and bask in the warm winter sun with seagulls. When night falls and the city lights up with neon lights, it’s another beautiful scene.
✔️Gamcheon Cultural Village
Don’t think that you are here just to take pictures with the little prince. The colorful houses and street decorations here are very cute and photogenic. Remember to buy a stamped map and start your treasure hunting journey immediately.
✔️Jagalchi Market
How can you come to Busan without trying some seafood? Jagalchi Market is a good choice. The market is neat and orderly, and prices are clearly marked.

Busan Gamcheon Culture Village....The journey to find the little prince and the fox
I came here to find the little prince and his tame fox.
To find the little prince, you have to walk up the mountain, looking at various colorful murals along the way, and slowly immersing yourself in the fairy tale of the little prince. Finally, at the corner of a wide field of vision, you find the little boy who has been meditating facing the colorful village. The prince and the desert fox beside him are lonely and looking for friends.
The little prince said: Every adult was once a child, but only a few people remember it.
The fox said: Human beings have no time to understand other things. They always go to the store to buy ready-made things, but there is no store in the world where you can buy friends.
As for how the Little Prince and the Fox ended up in Gamcheon Cultural Village in Busan, you can only ask the local artists.
Before I could find the answer, I found that everyone was queuing up, sandwiched between the little prince and the fox to take photos and check in. I became one of them and forgot to pursue this story.
Gamcheon Cultural Village was originally a refugee village. In order to inject vitality into a village with an aging population and stimulate local economic activities through tourism, the Busan authorities convened artists from all walks of life to bring the story of the little prince into the village, and asked each household in the village to decorate their houses. Painted in various colors. From then on, the little prince has been here forever, helping everyone find their way into the fairy tale world.

My Trip at Gamcheon Culture Village Busan
#localescapes
Gamcheon Culture Village started as a base for the hardships of the Korean War refugees in the 1950s and is a place that has kept the history of Busan as it is, an aspect and trace of the modern history of the nation. The terraced group housing arrangement along the foot of the mountain and the view of Miro Miro Alley through all roads show Gamcheon’s unique character. The Village Art Project, which was launched by local artists and villagers to revive Gamcheon‘s characteristics and historical value, became a stepping stone for Gamcheon Culture Village Creation Project. Starting with this project, it attracted various public offering projects and has become a popular attraction with more than 3.08 million people visiting in 2019.

🇰🇷 Surprises Await @ Gamcheon Culture Village
#citywalk
Gamcheon Culture Village is probably the most visited and photographed attraction in Busan. Established since 1955, the village started as a collective housing project for refugees. Over the years, it has transformed into a village dedicated to preservation and regeneration of the local community.
We started our journey from the bus stop outside the village. Maps and signposts are available at many parts of the village and do not worry about getting lost. The walk through the winding alleys in the village was full of surprises as we encountered colourful houses and beautifully painted wall murals along the journey. It was a fun and memorable experience for us taking pictures with colourful backdrop at different parts of the village. We also enjoyed checking out the souvenir shops and cool cafes in the village.
