Would you like to experience the history of Busan and see the true beauty of Busan? Then, visit the mountainside roads!

Busan has many mountains, and land is scarce, so during the Japanese colonial period, people from all over the country went up to the mountains in search of work and formed shanty towns. Moreover, as the population of Busan, which was 280,000 at the time of liberation, grew to well over 1 million during the Korean War, refugees who fled at the time also built houses in the mountains and lived there. Mountainside roads were created to connect the mountain villages formed in this way. Over several years, the mountainside roads symbolizing Busan's folk history were reborn through the Mountainside Road Regeneration Project. Visitors can take an observatory tour to enjoy the panoramic view of Busan from the mountainside roads. Why don’t you plan a trip there right now?

Yoo Chihwan Postbox

The Yoo Chihwan Postbox was installed to commemorate poet Yoo Chi-hwan's artistic and literary spirit, and it also operates as a place where slow letters can be sent one year later. It is a place that many people visit because they can see the Busanhangdaegyo Bridge under the blue sky. A cafe also operates under the observatory, so it is an excellent place to take a break. If you write a postcard and send it, you can receive it a year later, so how about writing a slightly sentimental letter and sending it while reading the poem 'Happiness' next to the mailbox?
