The Korean War, An Unforgettable Scar After enduring Japanese occupation, the people of Korea had to face another tragic event called the Korean War before they could even fully enjoy their hard-won independence. While it occurred 70 years ago, to those who experienced the dawn of June 25, 1950, it is a vivid page in the annals of history that continues have a lasting impact. The Korean War began with a surprise attack on South Korea by North Korea. Our army, UN Forces, and young student soldiers had to march to battlegrounds with guns on their back. Within three days of the outbreak of war, Seoul was captured and the North Korean army marched south, occupying all of the land up to the Nakdonggang River. Thanks to the success of the Incheon Landing Operation, we took back Seoul and marched as far north as the Amnokgang (Yalu) River. Due to the intervention of the Chinese Army, however, called the January–Fourth Retreat, the South Korean Army and UN Forces had to step back to the south of the 38th Parallel. During the three years of the Korean War, Busan became the temporary capital of South Korea with endless lines of incoming refugees. Busan is a city that contains the memories of the refugees who lived scattered about without knowing the whereabouts of their families.

Dongnae Market, now a clean, modern two-story building, is 250 years old. Originated as the largest five-day market in Busan during the Joseon Period, the Dongnae Marketplace continues to be the largest traditional market in Dongnae. Many of the stores inside the market have also continued business over a long time. The herbal medicine shop that stretched out on the exterior of the building, the restaurant district that does not easily raise the price, and the fashion accessory store where you can bargain are at least 40–50 years old. Dongnae Market is famous for affordable prices, high-quality products, and popular restaurants!

Busan is a city of beaches. Beaches are everywhere and certainly not a special feature of this city. But, there are beaches that are not widely known. These are the pebble beaches. When it comes to Busan, the first thing that comes to your mind would be beaches like Haeundae and Gwanganni. You may not realize that Busan also has a number of beaches with black pebbles instead of white sand. Keep your eye out for these beaches that are as beautiful as the famous black pebble beaches in Yeosu and on Geojedo Island. You will be able to find a unique charm of the beaches in Busan.

Busan is a city of many mountains. Spanning over Dongnae-gu, Geumgjeong-gu, and Buk-gu, Geumjeongsan Mountain is the tallest among the mountains in Busan. From Godangbong Peak rising some 800m above sea level, ridges extend down to the center of Busan, forming the city’s base. Embracing Beomeosa Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple from Silla, within, Geumjeongsan Mountain is surrounded by Geumjeongsanseong Fortress with four gates. Mandeok Pass is an old road located to the south of Geumjeongsan Mountain. This was the only road connecting Dongnae and Gupo prior to the opening of Mandeok Tunnel. There must have been a band of thieves on this mountain road as the road was used by peddlers carrying bags of goods to sell at Dongnae Market and Gupo Market. According to a legend, the road was called “Manneunggogae,” meaning that you must cross over the pass in a group of ten thousand in order to avoid the thieves. Locals say that the current name of this road, “Mandeokgogae (Mandeok Pass),” originated from “Manneunggogae.” With two tunnels and even a subway line opened under this trail, there is no longer any need to climb over Mandeok Pass. Nevertheless, Mandeok Pass Trail is coming back to life thanks to the magnificent nightscape spreading at its foot and the surprising treasures hidden throughout.

Skateboarding is an original extreme sport. In the late 50s and early 60s, surfing evolved into skateboarding and continued to advance, later becoming a great sport that is loved by people around the world. Skateboards can be divided into basic and long types. Once in a while, you get to see amazing skaters riding across the streets or in universities. However, finding a spot where you can leisurely enjoy skateboarding can be tough. It is also more difficult to find good skateboarding spots for foreigners. Thus, we introduce a couple of good places where the skateboarders who need places to practice can enjoy the vibe and leisurely skateboard.

Pure, untainted Bongsan Village, Yeongdo

Add breath to an empty space to blossom into culture and arts

Seated at the bottom of Bongnaesan Mountain in Yeongdo, Busan, Bongsan Village is crowded with unusual houses. The area was home to many laborers working in the shipyards that enjoyed a boom back in the day but, since then, a recession in the shipbuilding industry and deactivation as a New Town area led to the departure of a great number of people. Once, 87 out of some 400 buildings were vacated but, thanks to an Urban Regeneration New Deal project that started in 2018, Bongsan Village once again became a great place to live.
