Fodor's Expert Review Gukje Market

Nampo-dong Market

Busan's most sprawling market sells everything from clothes and jewelry to bowls of steaming noodles and bean porridge. It's hard to know where the various market buildings begin and end, and when Gukje Market becomes Bupyeong Kkangtong Market. What is certain is the lively atmosphere and great eats such as dangmyeon (glass noodles) and chungmu gimbap (seaweed rice rolls with spicy radish) served up on Gukje's famous food street. The market was also the setting for the 2014 hit Korean film, Ode to My Father.
