   Yeongdodaegyo Bridge

   영도대교

   This was the first bridge built in Busan, connecting the mainland (Nampo-dong) and the island (Yeongdo) for passenger transport during the period of Japanese colonial exploitation. Designed as a bascule bridge to allow ships traveling between the South Port and North Port to pass through, it was lifted anywhere from 2 to 7 times a day. During the Korean War, it served as a rendezvous point for separated families and is imbued with the sorrow of refugees who sought out the fortune-tellers at stalls beneath the bridge to desperately inquire about the survival of their loved ones.MoreLess
