Huinnyeoul Culture Village

Huinnyeoul Culture Village (Korean: 흰여울문화마을) is a seaside town of Yeongseon-dong, Yeongdo District, Busan, South Korea, located on a high cliff.

History

Huinnyeoul was originally a small fishing village, but when many Korean War refugees fled here, it became tightly packed with narrow alleyways. In 2010, many local artists took efforts to remodel the area. Murals were painted, houses remodeled, and Huinnyeoul turned into a small village.

Name

It is nicknamed Korea's Santorini. Huinnyeoul Munhwa Maeul got its name from the white water bubbles that the streams coming from the mountain Bognaesan created when they reached the ocean in front of Yeongdo.[1]
