AREA6 is a multipurpose cultural space made to promote the artisans and artists of Busan as a part of an urban regeneration project. On the first floor, there are a total of nine spaces, including F&B brands, select shops, and information centers. The second floor is a co-working space and lounge, and the third floor consists of a rooftop and seminar room that anyone can freely use. It was designed sensibly by keeping the existing buildng's shape without compromising volume and scale. Each space, such as a small alley that leads from the yard like a maze, is full of individuality and is fun to look around. Busan's local brands, such as Ineoajimae, Busan Drinks, and Samjin Fish Cake are located here, and a flea market is also held irregularly.

As a traditional market naturally formed during the Japanese colonial era, Yeongdo Bongnae Market boasted a large scale, but became smaller in size by being partially incorporated with the road after the establishment of Busandaegyo Bridge. The commercial district was further reduced when Namhang Market was formed on the other side. However, food companies such as Samjin Foods and Seongsil Foods, which boast a history and tradition of more than 50 years, maintain their positions within the marketplace and continue to be favored by the local community.

Gimhae Gujibong Peak (김해 구지봉)

Gujibong Peak in Gusan-dong, Gimhae in Gyeongsangnam-do is believed to be the birthplace of King Suro, the founder of the Gaya kingdom. The peak was originally named Gusubong (“gu” meaning “turtle,” “su” meaning “head”) after its resemblance to the head of a turtle. The flat part of the peak (the turtle’s “head”) is home to the Tomb of King Suro. On the summit is a southern-style dolmen dating back to the 4th century BC that consists of 5 or 6 support stones and a large cover stone measuring 2.5m in diameter. The cover stone bears the inscription “Gujibongseok,” said to be written by Han Ho.

Gujibong Peak is considered a sacred place by the local people because, according to legend, it is the place where the creation of the Gaya Kingdom took place. During the Japanese colonial rule, the “neck” of the turtle was destroyed by the construction of a mountain road. Years later, a pedestrian road was built to rejoin the neck and restore the feng shui of the mountain.
