Gamcheon Culture Village is a representative tourist destination in Busan where colorful houses, charming cafes, and various works of art are hidden within its maze-like alleys. As the number of domestic and international visitors has recently increased and residents have continued to experience inconvenience, Busan has designated the village area as a Special Management Zone to create a pleasant tourism environment . The key guidelines are as follows.
- • Nighttime visit restriction: To ensure a peaceful evening and rest for residents, the hours during which tourists can visit residential areas are restricted from 09:00 to 18:00.
- • Protecting residents' privacy: When walking through the alleys, refrain from talking loudly or making loud noises, and do not look inside houses or take photos without permission.
- • Mandatory map purchase for group tourists: Groups of 10 or more visitors must purchase a group map through the village information center or website.
- • Tourist vehicle restriction: To ensure pedestrian safety and alleviate traffic congestion, tourist vehicles (passenger cars, taxis, etc.) are restricted in the village. Large buses may visit via a prior reservation system.
- • Observe basic etiquette: Dispose of trash in designated areas or take it with you, and maintain a pleasant environment throughout the village.
Similar special management areas like Gamcheon Culture Village include Seoul's Bukchon Hanok Village and Yeoncheon's Hantangang Tourist Area. As these are all residential areas where people actually live, you should enjoy your trip with an attitude of respect for the daily lives of the residents.
