There is a charming village in the serene neighborhood of Sinho-dong at the western end of Busan. The Nakdonggang River flows from afar and meets the open sea in this peaceful village, offering a spectacular view of the river converging with the ocean. Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Let's explore the alleys of Sinho-dong!

Sinho-dong, part of the first section of Galmaet-gil Course 5, boasts a relaxing trail along the river and sea. Smooth and easy to walk, the trail is perfect for anyone seeking a peaceful moment. With the black pine forest on one side and the vast ocean on the other, you will be more than pleased. Sinho-dong is an excellent starting point for your journey to discover the hidden gems of Gangseo-gu.

Relax and walk along the coastal trail. Jinudo, a vast island of sand formed by sediment deposition, unfolds like a landscape painting. Here, where the river meets the ocean, you can enjoy a unique landscape of large and small deltas. Wander along the coastal path as much as you like, and you'll come upon a pine-lined road. Breathe in the freshness of the pine and the refreshing scent. Feel the texture of the bumpy, earthy trail beneath your feet.

Next to the quaint Sodam Park is a residential area with tidy alleys and houses featuring low walls. Stroll through the lanes amid homes of various colors and designs. Lovely gardens and the contemporary appearance of the wall-less houses will pleasantly surprise you. Take a moment to snap a photo in front of one of these beautiful homes!

When you get thirsty and tired from all the walking, pop into one of the unique cafes nestled in the alleys of Sinho-dong and relax to your heart’s content. Discovering a hidden cafe and enjoying its distinctive charm is a delightful experience!
