Busan Bosu Book Street, Bupyeong Kkangtong Market, Gukje Market, and Jagarchi Market, South Korea

Oct 1, 2021 | City, Market, Shopping, South Korea - Busan Area

This is my second visit to Bosu Book Street, BIFF Square, Gukje Market, Kkangtong Market, and Jagarchi Market.  On my first visit, most stores were closed because of the Chusuck Holiday, which is Korean Thanksgiving.

The Bosu Book Street is a short street with many used book stores.

A short walk from the book street is Bupyeong Kkangtong Market

Gukje Market is nearby.  The markets are all in the same area.  The streets between KKangtong Market and Gukje Market are full of street vendors, so it is hard to determine where one market ends and the other market starts.

The Gukje Market

This is how the Gukje Market looked like in the year 1950s.

Out to the street next to the market, which has full of stores.

Walked toward the BIFF Square, which is at the end of this street

The BIFF Square

Walking toward the Jagalchi Market, which is the area across the street.

Looking back at the BIFF Square

To Jagalchi Market

A side street in the Jagalchi Market, walking into it to see what is there.

Not much is there.  Walk back to the central Jagalchi Market

The building on the right is where more live fish vendors are selling fish.

I went into it

Walked out from the building.
