Dubbed as the Santorini of Korea, Huinnyeoul Culture Village is a famous tourist attraction in Busan and a popular photo spot. The road leading to the top of the steep cliff facing the sea was listed on Korea’s 5 Majpr Coastal Trails (Haeannuri-gil) selected by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2014. The village was named “Huinnyeoul” because the water trickling down from the foot of Bongnaesan Mountain to the river, which forms the backdrop of the village, resembles white snow.

Naengmyeon is also a popular noodle dish with two variations. There is the Pyeongyang-style naengmyeon, cold beef broth mixed with radish water kimchi and poured over buckwheat noodles, and there is the Hamheung-style naengmyeon, potato starch noodles mixed with spicy seasoning.

People usually eat hot noodles on cold days and cold noodles on hot days. However, in accord with the traditional Korean saying “beat the heat with heat and the cold with cold,” Koreans often eat cold noodles in winter and hot noodles in summer.
