The forest has kept its natural condition unopened to the public throughout the Japanese occupation, liberation, war, and industrialization.
Ahopsan Forest in Gijang-gun, Busan, is a place that was not open to the world for 400 years. The place became known to the world after becoming the filming location for the movie Kundo: Age of the Rampant in 2014. In 2016, the owners who managed the forest for 400 years decided to open the place to the public. The forest was designated as a green belt and water source conservation area for a long time, preserving the healthy natural environment and ecosystem.
The represented place is bamboo habitat. There are two bamboo forests within nine mountains. The Maengjongjuk Forest is the first one encountered along the trail. Go into the dense bamboo forest and look up to the sky to see the glistening sunlight between the leaves. The second bamboo forest is a flat bamboo field known as the bamboo tree–lined trail. The bamboo forest densely populates both sides of the path to block most light, allowing visitors to take a stroll.

The western Busan was not well known among tourists compared to the eastern Busan where Haeundae and Gwangalli are located. However, it has recently gained popularity, thanks to SNS users who nicknamed Jangnim Port as “Bunezia,” Busan’s Venezia (Venice), and have been taking great photos here. Jangnim Port has its famous photo zone called “Personal Color Zone,” which has the building with nine doors, each of which is painted in a different color. You can take incredible photos in this photo zone. The first floor of the building is the warehouse used by fishermen for storage or direct sales stand. After taking photos on the first floor, you can explore many cozy spaces on the second floor such as the Children’s Play Town where children can play and take a rest; the Food & Drink Town, which offers diverse food, tea, and fish cake dishes; the Atelier, which provides experience activities; and the souvenir shop where you can find various interesting souvenir products. You can take diverse photos of many different faces of Jangnim Port, depending on the location and time. While taking leisure on the second floor, you can fully observe and appreciate different views of the port with the sky, the sea, the sunset, and lights from the buildings and streets.
