Busan Station

Editorial responsibility: HOPESNSAbout the editor and standards

What lies across Busan Station? Choryang Ibagu-gil as an elevation story

Begin about two minutes from Busan Station Exit 7 and read the lower Choryang sites—former hospital, warehouse ground, church, and migration streets—before reaching the base of the 168 Stairs. There, decide whether to climb, return on a short history route, or find a current bus approach to the hillside. Allow three to five hours, leave large luggage at the station, and remove the stairs in heat, heavy rain, or ice.
