Gukje Market​
Picture
The market that began as a distribution hub for aid following Korea's independence from Japan has now become Busan's signature market. The market formed a gigantic commercial block within Nampo-dong until the 1990s and appeared to begin declining in the 2000s. However, the block has gone through a revival since the success of the film "Ode to My Father," which features market locations. Shops sell a wider variety of goods to entertain onlookers, from vintage collectables to kitchenware, household items, CDs, hardware and antique paintings.

- How to get there: Get off at Nampo Station (Metrol line 1). Walk 10 minutes from exit 1.
