Operating:
Hours Tuesday-Friday 10:00-18:00 / Saturday & Sunday 10:00-17:00 Available Facilities * 40-step stairway The 40-step stairway, located in Jung-gu, Busan, was a hub of transportation and administration during the Korean War
Those who were displaced by the war gathered around the area and made makeshift housing out of sticks and tarps
The place also functioned as a marketplace where residents traded aid goods that were delivered at the nearby port
It was a place to meet family members separated during the war and a place that has since then come to symbolize the sorrow and grief of those living during the Korean War
The place has the deepest significance for the over 100,000 people that were displaced during the war and were subsequently scattered throughout Yeongju-dong Hill, Donggwang-dong and Bosu-dong
* Railway In memory of the Busan Train Station (now the location of the Jungang-dong Trade Center), a 140m-street was created in front of the 40-step Stairway, together with the 40-step Square and Railroad Crossing Plaza
* Seaway In commemoration of the Busan Port, under the theme of a 'seaway,' a 120m-street has been created in front of Sora Stairway, together with the Sora Stair Square and Pier Plaza

A small light symbolizing the light of peace that never goes out casts its light over the 40-step Culture & Tourism Theme Street
