Inwangsan is a mountain with a height of 338 m, located in Jongno-gu and Hongje-dong, Seodaemun-gu, central areas of Seoul in Korea. The name literally means "mountain of generous king" in Korean. The mountain has many huge granite peaks which distinguish it from other mountains in Seoul. Each rock is named after its characteristic form, such as train rock (기차바위), skirt rock (치마바위), dew rock (이슬바위), hat rock (모자바위), and worm rock (지렁이바위). Inwangsan is famous for its view, so many painters depicted the mountain in their works such as Jeong seon's Inwang jesaekdo.

Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, connecting Jung-gu and Yeongdo-gu, was built during the Japanese colonial period. The Japanese built a bridge to connect Busanhang Port, the base for exploiting supplies, with Yeongdo Island right next to it. In 1934, on the day the first suspension bridge and bascule bridge in Busan was opened to the public, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge was packed with people from all over the country to take a look at the bridge. Yeongdodaegyo Bridge, which could be raised on one end of the upper deck, is called Yeongdo Bridge and soon became a landmark that has turned into a household name.
Yeongdodaegyo Bridge is a place where refugees in Busan congregated to in the midst of the Korean War to find some hope. Yeongdo Bridge, the landmark of Busan and the only place that refugees knew, became a union spot for people who were separated. People’s desperate wish to find separated families was engraved on faded paper and torn cloth to fill up the handrails of Yeongdo Bridge.
In 1966, when the wounds of the war began to heal, Yeongdodaegyo Bridge stopped lifting up the deck. The old bridge could no longer endure the increasing traffic, and the opening of the Busandaegyo Bridge right next to the bridge made the future of the bridge uncertain. However, the bridge was restored in 47 years, and its lifting resumed through the peoples’ efforts to remember and share the history of the Yeongdo Bridge.
This place, where refugees used to visit to find their separated families, is now a popular tourist attraction. At around 2:00 p.m., the signal is made, and the blocking curtain goes down. All the passing vehicles stop, and the Yeongdo Bridge goes up slowly.

“Oiso (Come), Boiso (See), and Saiso (Buy)!” is a famous phrase that represents Jagalchi Market. Along with the nearby Gukje Market and Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, the Jagalchi Market is Busan’s main traditional market.
rom the Japanese occupation, several fish street stalls were created in this area. Because of the Korean War, numerous refugees came to Busan, and many shanty houses were built around the area. As such, a number of fish street stalls were formed to become a large fish market, which is now the Jagalchi Market. You will find live fish and seafood, including big octopuses in basins and baskets of street vendors. Sometimes, they sell lobsters, white sharks, baby sharks, sunfish, large squids, and so on. This is the real side of Busan’s Jagalchi Market.

Gukje Market was formed after the Korean War as US army items and other goods were gathered at the refugee capital of Busan. Along with Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, Jagalchi Market, and Bosu Book Street, Gukje Market forms the “Original Mega Commercial District of Busan.” Recently, with the success of the movie “Ode to My Father,” which centers on Gukje Market, the place welcomed its second golden era. Start exploring Gukje Market from Kkotbunine, featured in the film “Ode to My Father.”
Good food is essential in the market. Visit street vendors and eat Chungmu Gimbap, Bbibim dangmyeon (spicy glass noodles), eomuk (fish cake) and tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), fritters, and blood sausages for an authentic experience of the market.

Located in Bosu-dong, Jung-gu, Busan, the Bosu Book Street was created when Busan became a temporary capital during the Korean War. The history of Bosu Book Street began when a couple of evacuees from North Korea opened a street stall, laying boxes and putting various magazines and old books on them. When many evacuees settled in Gukje Market and had a hard life after the end of the war, students and intellectuals could not find books even though they wanted to study. As a result, used bookstores in the street became successful, and as more and more other evacuees opened new used bookstores, today’s book alley was formed.
As each store has so many books, those stacked on the floor occupy both sides of the narrow alley. In the middle of the street, which seems to be only full of books, a steep staircase catches your eyes. It connects the Bosu Book Street with the Mural Village, but it is better known as a place for photography.

While the village’s beautiful landscape gave it the nickname of the Machu Picchu of Korea, the town was a part of the painful history of Busan. Refugees settled in Gamcheon Village during the Korean War and cultivated the mountainous region to make a living. In 2009, students, artists, and residents decorated the village as a part of the Village Art Project, and the town grew into a leading tourist attraction of Busan since then. The Gamcheon Culture Village, now a landmark of west Busan, is favored by tourists as an experience-based destination. Follow the stamp map purchased at the village information center to complete the alley tour.
Artworks and mural paintings turn the backward alley of Gamcheon into an animated village, attracting people’s attention along with various souvenir shops and workshops where you can stop by to attend the experience programs and create your own souvenir.
