[Masan, Gyeognam] Gagopa wall painting village


On the cracked wall graffiti, colorful fish swim. Sketches and drawings of morning glories and parachute-donned ants decorate the stairway leading to the roof, while little bugs are painted on top of the letterbox and fishing boats on the walls.

This place is Masan 꼬부랑길 wall painting village, a small village located in Masan, South Gyeongsang Province, where small colorful houses are gathered together under the clear autumn sky. The walls that lead to the village are decorated with fairy tale-like paintings. The fish, morning glories, ants and small bugs can be found on the winding walls of village. Walk through the road surrounded by the walls and it will feel like the drawings are whispering something to you. 

The 'wall painting village project' was created under the auspices of Gyeongnam bank, and the Society of Arts in gyeongnam and students who major in art draw this art on the wall.

As the village turned bright with colorful drawings, plus the fact that the Gangguan Port is right below,  Masan 꼬부랑길 wall painting village became Korea's popular tourism spot attracting tourists during weekends and even on weekdays. 


There were only village people there in the past, but now, the village is crowded with tourists who came to take pictures are coming.
