Gamcheon-dong

Gamcheon-dong is a subdivision of Saha-gu district in central-west Busan, South Korea. It is known for Gamcheon Culture Village, which features steep streets, twisting alleys, and brightly painted houses. Some painted street murals, art installations, cafes, stores, museums, workshops, and craft boutiques have also sprung up in the area. The area was previously known as Taegeukdo Village, and was affected by poverty, so in 2009 the government of Korea funded the "Dreaming of Machu Picchu in Busan Project".
