Gwangan Bridge, Busan: A Culinary Journey

The Gwangan Bridge in Busan, South Korea, is not only an architectural marvel spanning across the waters of the city, providing stunning views, especially at night with its colorful illuminations but also a gateway to the city's rich culinary heritage. The area around Gwangan Bridge, known as Gwangalli, has become synonymous with fresh seafood due to its proximity to the sea, but it also offers a wide array of other traditional Korean dishes. While the bridge itself is a recent addition to the city's landscape, completed in 2002, the food culture it ushers tourists into is steeped in centuries of history, influenced by the bountiful oceans and diverse cultural exchanges through its port.
