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.
