Next destination is the Gamcheon Cultural Village and I caught the taxi to get there. When I pointed out my destination, the taxi driver explained the history of Gamcheon-dong.

One legend is that a lot of ascetics have lived in the mountain at the Gamcheon-dong and there was a place of incineration (burning the body to ash) in the period of Japanese regime. During this conversation, we already arrived at the top road in the Gamcheon-dong village.



What to do first for me is to buy the map with 2,000 Korean Won from the tourist information. We can visit 9 places in the back side of the map to get the official stamp, and also have the post card having the nice photograph from several places.



It may take one and half hours to look around the village in getting the stamp. From place to place, we can buy the snack and take rest to visit several interesting place with slow speed.



The 1st place is “Small Museum".



The history of this village was well described in the time sequence.


We can see the bird having the visiting man's head. Is it praying for security and happiness?



The most representative icon in this Gamcheon Cultural Village is fish. The visiting routes in this village have the well guided sign board and this kind of fish icon gives the uniformity in the village.



The various color of fish looks like an artistic work.





Haneul Maru (Sky Floor) is another important place to visit. The observatory was installed in the top roof to secure the nice view of this place.




The current president of Korea, President Park has visited here and it has been introduced on television with the view of this Haneul Maru.



Most color is composed of blue and green of pastel tone and we can see more strong color because of less dust in the air from the frequent rainfall. Here we can see the sea.



In 1950s, the US Navy visited Busan and was surprised at seeing so many sky-scrap buildings there.

Actually there were not the buildings but the small houses which located in the slope of mountains. It was the kind of delusion from the night view.



When I walked around the village, I thought that they worshiped the fish because of so many fishes around.



From the so many flowers and flying birds on the wall, we felt that this village is supposed to be the real living artistic park.



The interesting is the arrangement of the color only using green, white and orange.


A lot of couples had dating with hands in hands and the mind of those couples would be more beautiful than those in busy cities.



One cat found something on the roof. When I focused him using the camera, he was still digging the something to fulfil his curiosity.



Let us see what he is finding further. He unwrapped the paper box and he is watching what he has now with full concentration.





Stamps have been increased ine by one and I lost my strength on my feet. However, I liked this place very much because this place made me happy.




The graffiti on the wall also showed the good match with the atmosphere of this place. Yes. It was so hot in last summer and you visited this place in one of those hot days.





I can see the local people climbing up the stairways.



I have got the experiences of playing hide-and-seek in this kind of small alley and this scene made me impressed from the memory.



The various colors of clothespin were the main themes of out-focusing. The clothespin of thoughtlessness is waiting for the touch by local residents
