Huinnyeoul Culture Village (Korean: 흰여울문화마을) is a seaside town of Yeongseon-dong, Yeongdo District, Busan, South Korea, located on a high cliff. The town is covered with colorful murals, sculptures, and installations by local artists. These are inspired by daily life, the sea, and other Korean themes. It also boasts many colorfully decorated trails and walkways which offer stunning views of the town, and the landscape around it. One of these is the Huinnyeoul Trail.
History
Huinnyeoul was originally a small fishing village, but when many Korean War refugees fled here, it became tightly packed with narrow alleyways. In 2010, many local artists took efforts to remodel the area. Murals were painted, houses remodeled, and Huinnyeoul turned into a small village.
Name
It is nicknamed Korea's Santorini.[citation needed] Huinnyeoul Munhwa Maeul got its name from the white water bubbles that the streams coming from the mountain Bognaesan created when they reached the ocean in front of Yeongdo.[1]
