Gagopa Kkoburang-gil Mural Village

Gagopa Kkoburang-gil Mural Village was created in December 2013 in alleys connecting about 30 households in Chusan-dong and Seongho-dong. The tour begins at the intersection of Seongho-seo 10-gil and Seongho-seo 2-gil, where a mural village map is installed. It is easy to find thanks to a mural depicting the faces of artists associated with Changwon, such as sculptor Moon Shin and poet Cheon Sang-byeong, painted onto a large rock face reminiscent of Mount Rushmore in the United States.

The alleys and stairs, just over 450 meters long, are filled with various paintings. At the end of a short rainbow-colored stone staircase lies a century-old well that local residents have used since 1910. The mural of a water-carrying device next to the century-old well, which overlooks Masan Port, is the best photo spot in Gagopa Kkoburang-gil Mural Village. In addition, murals reminiscent of Mondrian's works, a fish mural symbolizing success, and a mural decorating a wall like a café entrance fill the narrow alleys with beautiful pictures, making the walk delightful. When visiting Gagopa Kkoburang-gil Mural Village, keep in mind that it is a residential area and refrain from invading residents' privacy.
