Discovering the Magic of Blue House on the Stairs in Busan

Imagine sipping a refreshing drink… that literally floats down from the sky. Sounds like something out of a dream, right? But this isn’t fantasy — it’s reality at the Blue House on the Stairs in Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan. And let me tell you, it’s even cooler than it sounds.

🏰 A Café with a View

Located right on the side of the Gamcheon Culture Village hillside, this café is a hidden gem that takes your experience to the next level (literally!). It’s perched in one of the most stunning areas of Busan, where the streets are lined with pastel-colored houses and vibrant murals. And the best part? The café offers a bird’s-eye view of this entire breathtaking scene.ο»Ώ

🍰 Delicious Treats with a Side of Sky-High Views

If you want to take your experience to the next level (again), head upstairs for the best views of Gamcheon Culture Village. And, of course, we couldn't resist ordering some food to go with the scenery. I opted for a croffle (a croissant-waffle hybrid) topped with ice cream, and let me tell you, it was the perfect combination of crispy, buttery, and sweet. And, to wash it down, I had the Blue House Espresso — and yes, I added the signature “cloud” topping for that extra touch of magic.ο»Ώ

After we finished, we took the green stairs up to the rooftop (which is a must-do!) to soak in the view. From up here, the sight of the colorful hillside homes cascading down the mountain was absolutely breathtaking. It felt like we were on top of the world, sipping coffee and gazing at a masterpiece.

Did you know there’s a place in South Dakota where you can literally take home a piece of history? πŸ‘€ Yep—welcome back to Part 3 of our Crazy Horse Memorial adventure, where we dive into one of the most meaningful and fascinating areas of the entire complex: the Native American Educational and Cultural Center.

πŸ‘€ “Would you believe me if I told you this mountain has had over ELEVEN MILLION tons of rock blasted away… and it’s still not finished? Let me show you why this $5 tour is one of the best travel deals in America.” Welcome to Part 2 of our Crazy Horse Memorial adventure — and today we’re hopping on the guided bus tour that takes you right up to the mountain itself. For just five dollars per person, this ride gets you shockingly close to the carving-in-progress — and trust me… hearing the story while standing beneath it hits completely different. Our guide, Allen, shared how this all began back in 1947, when sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski arrived in the Black Hills from Connecticut… to a place with no roads, no water, no electricity. He literally lived in a tent for seven months before clearing trees and building a log studio by hand. By the late 1950s, with ten kids to raise, the family even opened a dairy farm right on site — and today they still raise cattle here. Oh — and the very first admission to Crazy Horse in 1950? πŸ‘‰ Just 50 cents per carload.
