Gamcheon Colored Houses

Gamcheon-dong is a subdivision of Saha District in central-west Busan, South Korea. It is known for Gamcheon Culture Village, which features steep streets, twisting alleys, and brightly painted houses. [1] Some painted street murals, art installations, cafes, stores, museums, workshops, and craft boutiques have also sprung up in the area. [2] The area was previously known as Taegeukdo Village, [1] and was affected by poverty, so in 2009 the government of Korea funded the "Dreaming of Machu Picchu in Busan Project". [3]
