Gamcheon-dong

Gamcheon-dong is a subdivision of Saha District in central-west Busan, South Korea. It is known for Gamcheon Culture Village, which features steep streets, twisting alleys, and brightly painted houses.[1] The area has seen the emergence of painted street murals, art installations, cafes, shops, museums, workshops, and craft boutiques.[2] Formerly known as Taegeukdo Village,[1] the neighborhood struggled with poverty until 2009 when the South Korean government initiated the "Dreaming of Machu Picchu in Busan Project" to revitalize the area.[3]
