It was quiet and nice because there were not many people. Also, it was not good because there are not too many people. So it is not fun. Many shops closed. Maybe covid-19.

This was probably once a rich cultural attraction. Now it appears to simply be a tourist trap. It’s just a bunch of shops try to sell crap to tourists.

Wonderful pieces of art and paintings all over this village. It takes hours to cover the whole area but it’s absolutely worth it. One can get a map and get stamps after visiting some specific places. I’ve been here many times and there’s always something new to see.

This is considered as one of the main attractions of Busan. I was not very impressed. The Gamcheon village is a small, somewhat colorful, clean area that is part of a large, somewhat financially deprived neighborhood in Busan. It is an area that has been developed to promote tourism to the area. There are several interesting murals around the main road and many shops that mainly sell common , touristy souvenirs. The only shop that called my attention, sells cute sweets made of "cotton" ; these sweets are decorated with faces and it is nice to see how they are made. There is tourist office at the entrance that is not very informative. The views of Busan are nice and there are several places from where you can see the port and the ocean. It was not crowded. It is nice to visit the Gamcheon village in the afternoon. The sunset is lovely. The stores close around 600 pm. We arrived by metro and walked to the Village. You have to be in good shape to do this. It is far and hilly. It is better to take the metro and then a taxi or take a bus or simply take a taxi from wherever you are located (more expensive) but more comfortable. Once in the village, it is easy to walk around. Plan a visit for one hour.…

One of the main attractions in Busan. There is accessible via green bus (minibus) number 1-1, 2 or 2-2. It will stop directly on the Gamcheon Entrance area. Please wear a proper shoes as it will require you to walk for a quite sometimes. There is numerous of picturesque spot along the way while you exploring the Village. Just be ready to walk through it. This is the best place to get the best photos in Busan.…
