01 · HISTORY

How this neighborhood remembers change

Long before the modern city

Communities live from a rich coast

The Yeongdo shoreline supported fishing and settlement over a very long period, as nearby shell-mound evidence records.

Modern era

Taejongdae becomes a public coastal landscape

Cliffs, forest, and lighthouse views became one of Busan's defining ways to meet the open sea.

Today

Reclaimed ground expands the maritime role

The museum, research institutions, and Amir Park turn the newer shoreline into a civic maritime campus.
