About this audio guide
This guide to the Yeongju Haneulnun Observation Deck in Busan starts with what used to sit below it: a stretch of Sanbok-ro where, by the late nineteen sixties, hundreds of old-style tea rooms clustered near the harbor. You'll hear how dockworkers, ship's agents and captains filled those dabang, trading word of arriving vessels and open jobs over a single cup that could hold a booth all morning. The guide follows that trade through its decline in the nineteen nineties, as cafes replaced it, before turning back to the hillside itself and the sculpture that now looks over the same water.
