Namcheon Cathedral in Pusan/Diocese of Pusan
Location: 70-1, 70-4 Nam Cheon 1 Dong, Busan, 600-094 South Korea
How to get there: Take Line 2 (GREEN) Namcheon station. The closest exit is #2 which is accessible only by taking the long stairs. (The elevator is available from other exit but we were not able to see pedestrian lanes on the streets.)
Make sure you study the location on maps.google.com. This is just close to KBS station building.
Unlike the Roman Catholic churches here in the Philippines, the one in Namcheon has a different structure that makes it unique in my eyes. High ceiling on the right and these walls are used for the Station of the Cross. (It is about a week before the Holy Week 2012 and we saw group of aunties doing their prayers on the 14 stations.) While the left wall is sliding and is designed with stained glass.
Outside area is designed with red walking area and everything is covered by greenery.
Based on my online research there is a daily mass (Tue/Thu at 12:15pm, Wed/Fri 5:30pm), but we did not see during our visit at 12:15pm. Here is the schedule posted on the place (but in Korean).
