Downtown Masan
[Anchor Lead]
On todays' Close Up we introduce the city of Masan in Gyeongsangnam-do Province. It was once the largest city in the Gyeongnam region, but went into decline after the city was merged with Changwon and encircled by new surburban developments. But Masan is beginning to see a return to its glory days as its old downtown becomes a tourist draw.

The port city of Masan faces the sparkling blue ocean. This is the old downtown of Masan. The area went into decline in the 1990s, but now colorful murals give the entire neighborhood a refreshing energy.
[Soundbite] Son Jae-hyeon(Changwon City Office) : Artists from various genres came here as a part of Changwon's urban renewal program in 2012. This place is providing hands-on audio and visual experiences for many visitors and local residents.
This is an art village located in Chang-dong, Masan. At the mouth of this alleyway, you can see the portraits of artists who made Masan famous. Further into the village, visitors reach an alley named Ecole de Changdong. Ecole means school in French, so the street's name is School of Changdong. Studios for some 50 artists are located here. Visitors can even take some art lessons at these workshops. Let's drop in at the workshop of a glass sculptor. Glassware in multitude of colors and shapes vie for attention. Visitors can get hands-on experiences in glass craft by making their own glass pieces. Now let's leave the artists' village behind and head to the market. This is Burim Market, the largest market in Masan. What is the fun in visiting a market if we're not going to taste all the goodies sold here? This is said to be the hottest ddeokbokki store in the market. Just looking at the red spicy sauce makes one's mouth water. But the dish looks a bit unusual. A closer look reveals its true identity - a plant stand. This eatery has been selling ddeokbokki for 37 years, but the owner and the ddeokbokki taste have remained the same over all those years.

South Korea part 1: Masan
Masan is a city in the south east of south Korea, that has more or less become part of the larger city Changwon. It is situated at a sea tongue, it has a harbor and it is surrounded by small mountains. These mountains offer great walks, the fish market is sure worth a visit, as well as the downtown area with the Chang Dong art village with several neat galleries. On one of these mountains I saw a Japanese Tiger Beetle, an amazingly beautiful insect that I found very hard to catch on camera, as it kept moving around fast. Luckily eventually I succeeded, it is shown at 1:06.
When you don't speak Korean it sure is a great challenge traveling in Korea, as few people speak English. Before going there I made s short study of the Korean Alphabet (see: ), which turned out to be very useful. As I'm a vegetarian, it was an extra challenge to get my meals, luckily my friend helped me writing a note in Korean for this purpose.
There are different locations for getting a bus out of the city, the airport bus to Busan airport (=Gimhae airport, with flights to beautiful Jeju island and Seoul, see my videos South Korea parts 4 and 5) leaves next to the train station. There are frequent buses to Busan (largest harbor of Korea, see my video South Korea part 2: Busan) and Tongyeong (a city surrounded with beautiful islands that are part of the large National Park Dadohae Haesang, see my video South Korea part 3: Tongyeong)
