Busan Jungang Library Operates Ibagu-gil Exploration Program

Busan Metropolitan Central Library will operate the ‘Busan Ibagu-gil Exploration’ program in April-May and October-November to promote our hometown Busan by exploring various parts of Busan’s original downtown area.

The program is organized into 10 courses around Jung-gu, Dong-gu, Seo-gu, and Yeongdo-gu, where participants will directly visit and explore the original downtown area of Busan to learn about the history and culture of places they usually pass by without much thought. The program is divided into the first and second halves of the year.
