Haedong Yonggungsa

You can experience Buddhist culture by touring traditional Korean temples, and have an event where you can pray with your wishes written on leaves. It was founded in 1376 (2nd year of King U’s reign) during the Goryeo Dynasty by Hyegeun, the royal preceptor of King Gongmin. It was later destroyed by the Japanese invasions of Korea and rebuilt in the early 1930s. In 1974, Jeongam took office and prayed for the restoration of the temple as Avalokitesvara. He said he saw Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva dressed in white ascending to heaven on a dragon in a dream, so the name of the temple was changed to Haedong Yonggungsa Temple.

Busan Gamcheon Culture Village

Gamcheon Culture Village began in the 1950s as a home for the difficult lives of Korean refugees and continues to the present, preserving the history of Busan, a cross-section and trace of the nation's modern history. The uniqueness of Gamman Bay is demonstrated by the terraced group of residential structures arranged in an orderly manner along the foot of the mountain and the maze of alleyways leading to all paths. The 『Village Art Project』, which was started by local artists and village residents to preserve the characteristics and historical value of Gamcheon, became a stepping stone for the project to create Gamcheon Cultural Village, and starting with this project, various public contests were attracted, and in 2015, about 1.4 million people participated. This has become a popular attraction to visit.
