busan: gamcheon culture village

My roommate and I went on a little weekend trip to Busan over the holiday in honour of Buddha's birthday, way back on the weekend of May 25th.

I know, that was forever ago.

Our main reason for going there was to see the incredible lantern festival at Samkwangsa Temple, but before that we spent a sunny afternoon exploring the beautiful Gamcheon Culture Village.

In more recent decades it has become a major point of interest for tourists thanks to the incredible art projects, murals and sculptures all along the streets but it wasn't always this way. The village originated as a haven for refugees during the Korean War.

I took a ton of pictures but for now I'll simply share a little video to show you some of our day! It's the first one I've ever put together but hope you like it!



I definitely recommend this little place if you ever get the chance to visit!
