The beauty of a slow life encountered at Huinnyeoul Trail Above the steep wall of the Jeoryeong Coastal Trail is a unique view of the village, where you can see small houses clustered along the narrow alley formed by the coast at the end of the cliff. This is where the sorrowful lives of refugees began and where the current cultural village community of Huinnyeoul Culture Village has been established.Huinnyeoul-gil, the representative original downtown center of Busan, was named after the current of water at the foot of the Bongnaesan Mountain that resembles the white falling snow. In December 2011, the old house was remodeled and renovated into a unique Culture and Art Village that reflects the life in Yeongdo.Even those who have not seen The Attorney can probably quote the movie because the quotes are written in large letters on the wall of Jinwoo’s house. Many people who traveled to Yeongdo always took their first photo in front of Jinwoo’s wall, which is located at the starting point of Huinnyeoul Culture Village. Huinnyeoul-gil consists of 14 alleys as well as cozy cafés, workshops, and independent bookstores. The ocean breeze enters the slow-paced alleys, and the greenery between rocks add relaxation to daily life. One of the must-visit places on Huinnyeoul-gil is the Huinnyeol Jeomppang, where you can enjoy the best ramen noodles while gazing at the vast ocean. A moment of peace enters the mind as you enjoy your meal after a long day of walking. The end of the road connects to the Jeoryeong Coastal Trail once again and reunites with travelers who walked between the cliffs and the lands below.The Huinnyeoul Trail along the village walls was the only way to Taejongdae Park before the Jeoryeong Coastal Trail. As you walk to the sound of waves, the gaze is always fixed on the ocean. The anchoring basin shows small and large ships that drop their anchors and stay there, looking like small specks along the Busanhang Port. It is a unique scene that can only be seen at Yeongdo.In a steep unlivable cliff neighboring the ocean, art bloomed through the hard work of a village community. The seafront of Yeongdo, seen from the Huinnyeoul Observatory, is remarkable.Now, Here, UsHuinnyeoul
