Busan 2, Gamcheon

Only on saturdays at 2pm do they raise this draw bridge. It's purely for a symbolic reasons. The birds painted on the road, fly to the sky when the bridge is raised. Demonstrating freedom from war and hatred.
We visited the Gamcheon area. Originally a refugee camp, it became a symbol of neighbors working together in harmony. No house blocks the view of another house and all decisions for the neighborhood are made as a group. It's now a artist community. All the houses are brightly painted. The majority of them have some sort of art on them. It's a big tourist draw. There are many items of art located around the village area. Multiple picture taking opportunities. Even the stairs on the steep hillsides are painted.
We finished off the evening walking again down Gwagbok fashion street. This time enjoying the many lighted Christmas decorations.Leia mais
