In Gamcheon Culture Village, there is a traditional temple hall run by Mr. Hae-pyo Ahn, Hwa Hye-jang, Busan Metropolitan City Intangible Cultural Property No. 17. Hwahyejang is an artisan who makes traditional leather shoes (hwahye) worn by the royal family and noble class. A scene with graceful beauty is created only after going through a difficult and arduous process using various natural materials. If you go to the Traditional Shrine Museum, you can see the beauty of Hwahye made by hand and the life of an artisan who insisted on tradition for three generations. Busan is the home of the sea and boasts a beautiful coastline from Saha-gu to Gijang-gun. Yeongdo-gu’s Jeolyeong Coastal Trail and Nam-gu’s Igidae Coastal Trail are paths where you can lightly walk along the beautiful sea of ​​Busan.
