Buk-gu: what to see and do

Known for

• Gupo Mansae Street, with murals of the 1919 independence movement
• Geumbit Noeul Bridge over the Nakdong River
• Hwamyeong Ecological Park by the river

What to do

Walk the mural street from Gupo Station to Gupo Market, then cross Geumbit Noeul Bridge to the riverside park near sunset.

Tip: The river is wide and open, so the walk is best near sunset and on a clear day.
