Did You Know?
War Refugee Settlement
Huinnyeoul Culture Village originated as a settlement for refugees fleeing the Korean War in the 1950s, who built homes along the steep cliffs overlooking the sea.
Busan's Santorini
Due to its picturesque white houses cascading down a cliffside against the blue ocean, the village is often affectionately called the 'Santorini of Busan' or 'Machu Picchu of Busan'.
Meaning of 'Huinnyeoul'
The village's name, 'Huinnyeoul,' translates to 'white rapids' or 'white water stream,' referring to the small stream that flows down the steep incline into the sea, creating white foam.
Cultural Village Project
Once a declining neighborhood, Huinnyeoul underwent a revitalization project, transforming it into a vibrant cultural village filled with art installations, murals, cafes, and independent shops.
