Several filmed locations sit on landscapes with deeper roots: the basalt-covered pond was a Joseon-era rain ritual site, while Busan’s markets grew out of post-war trade networks.
Conservation
Stick to marked paths in the arboretum and cultural parks, avoid feeding wildlife, and minimize single-use plastics to reduce impact on coastal and inland sites.
