Religious roots
The village has an unusual origin story.
Many accounts say Gamcheon began as a slum town in the 1950s filled with refugees from the aftermath of the Korean War, but the village actually owes its beginnings to an ascetic religious community called Taegeukdo, an obscure religion birthed during political upheavals in Korea in the early 1900s.
Although relatively scarce today, members of the Taegeukdo religion believe that the meaning of the universe can be found through a philosophy of "great polarity," which incorporates the concepts of yin and yang.
How to get there
In Busan, take the subway to Toseong-dong Station or Goejeong Station, then take a taxi to Busan Gamjeong Elementary School (taxi will cost approximately $2.50).
