Provisional Capital Memorial Hall
The two-storey red-brick house used as the presidential residence during the 1,023 days Busan was the provisional capital in the Korean War. Where the Modern and Contemporary History Museum takes the whole span, this takes one period narrowly — the war and the refuge. Closed Mondays.
Bupyeong Kkangtong Night Market
The night market that sets up in Bupyeong Kkangtong Market from half past seven until midnight. The daytime market publishes no hours of its own.

Come for the night market, not the market: the carts appear at 19:30, which is after most of Nampo-dong's other sights have closed.
Frequently asked questions
Is Gamcheon Culture Village free?
Yes. There is no admission charge, though parking is paid and individual workshops or exhibitions may charge separately.
How long should I allow?
Two to three hours covers the official route at a pace that lets you stop. The terrain is stepped and uphill, so it takes longer than the distance suggests.
Where is it and how do I get there?
203 Gamnae 2-ro, Saha-gu, inland and uphill on Busan's western side. It pairs more naturally with Nampo-dong and Songdo than with the Haeundae coast.
