The Korean government and the United Nations concluded an agreement in November 1959 to establish this cemetery for the UN Forces as a sacred ground, in order to pay eternal tribute to those who fell in the Korean War, and to uphold the noble causes of freedom and peace for which they sacrificed their lives.

The UN Memorial Cemetery in Korea comprises monuments donated by the participating nations as well as Memorial Service Hall, Memorabilia Hall, Wall of Remembrance, and the UN Forces Monument, and receives an increasing number of official guests and visiting citizens of all nations who come to pay tribute and respect.

During the Korean War, refugees who fled to Busan and followers settled here, building their own houses on bare ground and forming a small village . As refugees poured in, the flatlands of Busan were filled with urban areas, and eventually villages were formed even on mountain slopes that had been uninhabited.
In 2007, the new town project that was in full swing at the time was against it. It was eventually abandoned due to opposition from the local residents. Afterwards, instead of abandoning the existing redevelopment method of demolishing all existing buildings and building new ones, the urban regeneration project was promoted as a so-called preservation-type redevelopment . As the Gamcheon Culture Village project was carried out, the good scenery and atmosphere created by the unique topography of this place spread through word of mouth, and it became known as a tourist destination. In 2024, it grew into a famous tourist destination with over 2.5 million annual visitors.

The Cloud Walkway, a bridge connecting Geobuk Island to the land on the east side of the beach, is made of transparent tempered glass in some sections, allowing you to feel as if you are walking through the middle of the ocean. As you walk over the ocean, you can see Songdo Coast and Songdo Beach, where numerous ships are anchored, at a glance, and it is emerging as a new landmark of Busan's beaches. Songdo Cloud Walkway, which opened in 2015, is a 365m-long bridge that leads to the ocean. When you pass through the tempered glass and magic grating sections on the bridge, you can see the ocean rippling through the floor, allowing you to enjoy a thrilling feeling.

Stop 7

Jagalchi Market is Busan's representative fish market. It got its name because of the gravel floor. In 1922, the Busan Fisheries Cooperative built a building and started a consignment sales business in Nampo-dong, and as merchants gradually increased, the current Jagalchi Market was born.

If you look outside the building, you can see mackerel and sea squirts being sold along the roadside of Jagalchi Beach, and it boasts a reputation for being a place where you can buy fresh seafood, along with the nearby Shindonga Fish Market and Dried Fish Market.
