About
Refugees who arrived in Busan during the war set up stalls here selling goods of every kind, and the market became a lifeline for the city. Today its covered alleys sell clothes, household goods and food, and it was the setting for the popular 2014 film Ode to My Father.
Best time to go: Wander in the afternoon and try the street snacks of the nearby Bupyeong Kkangtong Market.
