Dakbatgol Mural Village (Dakbatgol Mural Village)

Nestled beneath Mangyang-ro in Seo-gu, Busan, it is a captivating neighborhood that has blossomed into a colorful outdoor gallery. With over 100 murals created by local artists and residents, it offers a vibrant yet intimate alternative to the more famous Gamcheon Culture Village.

🎨 Highlights of the Village
Stairway of Wishes and Somang Stairs Monorail: A bright, decorative staircase featuring a functional monorail (often called a cable car), offered free of charge. The ride is primarily intended for local residents, so operation may stop during windy weather or maintenance

Art Walking Trail: Meander through narrow alleys decorated with six thematic styles—from pig-family sculptures and mushroom colonies to trees of wishes, creating countless picture opportunities
