About Gunsan Mallaengyi Village (군산 말랭이마을)
Sinheung-dong began to form as a residential area when Japanese people started building houses in the area around the 1930s and 1940s. During the Korean War, refugees settled in areas such as Haemang-dong and Sinheung-dong, leading to the establishment of the village. At that time, houses were built closely together on wooden planks on top of rocks, and as time passed, the neighborhood became filled with thatched roofs. It was named Mallaengyi Village, derived from the Jeolla dialect meaning "the hillside." Currently, the area is experiencing urban decline due to population outflow, but in 2014, as part of a project to promote representative tourist attractions in Jeonbuk-do, nine artist residences and eight exhibition halls were established, creating a village where over 50 households and seven teams of artists live together harmoniously. Visitors can find murals, photo zones, sound spaces, and other notable attractions throughout the village. A walk up to Wolmyeongsan Mountain offers panoramic views of where the Geumgang River meets the West Sea. The viewpoint is also well known for its beautiful sunsets and nighttime scenery.
