Murals, Monorails, and Memories: The 168 Stairs of Busan

168 The Deck —a community space and outdoor cinema In the heart of Busan, the 168 Stairs rise steeply through the hillside, a landmark that captures both the city’s rugged geography and its layered history. Each of the 168 steps carries you higher, until the clustered rooftops give way to sweeping views of Busan Port and the ocean beyond.  For those who prefer ease, a monorail glides alongside the staircase, offering a gentle six‑minute ascent to the summit. Yet convenience comes at a cost—you might miss the charm that makes the climb unforgettable.
