[360 Trip to Korea] Huinnyeoul Cliff Village 🇰🇷 Korea’s Santorini by the Sea

Huinnyeoul Culture Village, located along the coastal cliffs of Yeongdo in Busan, South Korea, is a cinematic seaside neighborhood where art, ocean, and quiet alleyways meet.

Once a modest hillside residential area, the village has transformed into a cultural destination filled with mural walls, small galleries, cafés, and panoramic ocean views. The narrow paths wind along dramatic cliffs, revealing endless horizons of blue water below.

Often compared to Mediterranean coastal towns, Huinnyeoul maintains its distinct Korean character — whitewashed houses layered against the sea, fishing boats drifting in the distance, and stairways that seem to descend directly into the waves.

Sunrise brings soft pastel light across the rooftops, while sunset turns the cliffs gold and crimson. The sound of the ocean becomes a constant companion, echoing between walls and walkways.

More than a photo spot, Huinnyeoul is a slow walk through Busan’s artistic soul — a place where the rhythm of the city softens into the rhythm of the tide.
