The Meaning of Gamcheon Culture Village

 

The Korean pronunciation of Gamcheon Culture Village is "Gam Cheon Munhwa Ma-eul".

Gamcheon Culture Village derives its name from the meaning of “a sweet stream flowing” blending sweet art and culture with the sea to create a fantastic village.

 

 

After witnessing the colorful landscapes of Gamcheon Culture, the significance of its name becomes even more apparent.

🧐

Is Gamcheon Culture Village currently a residential area?

 

YES!

Gamcheon Culture Village is indeed a neighborhood where residents live.🏡
