Korea Meteorological Administration
Description
  • Designation of cultural heritage

    Busan-designated natural monument (October 25, 2001)

  • The Korea Meteorological Administration carried out weather observations 24 times each day during the war, providing key information for military operations and humanitarian activities. The information it offered was also useful for those in the shipping and fishing industries and for refugees in general. This building is located on Mt. Bokbyeongsan, offering a bird’s eye view of Busan Port. The building was constructed in December 1933 to house a local branch of the Korea Meteorological Administration (known as the Busan Regional Office of Meteorology), which had been originally situated in Bosu-dong and transferred one kilometer eastward to this position in 1933. The four-story building is a reinforced-concrete structure in an expressionist style. The building is still used for meteorological observation.
