Choryang waegwan

The waegwan of Choryang is located in present-day Yongdusan Park, Jung-gu, Busan. Also known as the shinwakan, the settlement, established in 1678, was expanded more than ten times from the old site at Dumo-po and was twenty-five times larger than the Dutch port of Dejima.[9] Among the facilities from the old settlement, trading centers, courthouses, and a new Benzaiten shrine was constructed. About 400-500 people lived in Choryang at any given time; only the daimyō of Tsushima and his staff were allowed to live on waegwan grounds, along with a handful of Japanese merchants and peddlers. International students studying medicine and Korean culture were permitted to also live.
