How many layers of Busan meet in Dongnae?

Walk from Dongnae Station through the living market and Joseon administrative and war-memory sites, then use Bokcheon Museum to understand the objects before climbing into the tomb landscape. This 5–7 hour route moves backward from present-day Dongnae to Gaya-era Busan. On Mondays, when the museum is closed, keep the day to the market and lower historic district.
