🏛️ APEC House Zone | Diplomacy, Design & Coastal Elegance on Dongbaekseom 🌊🎌🌿

📝 1. Overview
Nestled at the western tip of Dongbaekseom Island (동백섬) in Haeundae, the Nurimaru APEC House (누리마루 APEC하우스) is a modern, pavilion-style structure built for the 2005 APEC Summit. Overlooking the sea with sweeping glass walls, pine-covered cliffs, and a sleek circular design, it symbolizes Korea’s modern diplomacy set against Busan’s timeless coastal beauty. Now open to the public, it’s part architectural showcase, part peaceful retreat.
