Nampo-dong Market would be the best place to start in Busan as there are loads of small food stalls, large brand chains, a big department store and really a bit of everything here. It is also very close to Jagalchi (자갈치), so its worth visiting both at the same time.

Mandu, Gimbab & tteok bok ki.
(The tteok bok ki was extrememly spicy haha however was delicious)
Nampodong just after Xmas… decorations were still out.
As most places in Korea, an abundant of food available on the streets.

Hi Mark,
Would it be too much to ask, to draw / mark out, on a google map screenshot, the location of which part of Nampo-dong that’s worth visiting? I can’t seem to find Nampo-dong Market on google map. Thanks.
These are probably the best areas to start in Nampo-dong.

That should get you started. Remember, Jagalchi Fish Market is just across the road (literally a 2 minutes walk from Nampo-dong).
I hope that is sufficient 🙂
