Nestled in Busan, Ami-dong stands out thanks to its unique architectural feature—houses and staircases made from tombstones. This unusual material was used by Korean refugees during the Korean War as a symbol of resilience and renewal. As you explore this vibrant village with its colorful homes and steep stairways framed by mountains, keep in mind that May’s pleasant weather (+17°C) is perfect for wandering through Ami-dong’s historic lanes.
