Superb beef at an unbeatable price! My husband and I bought two trays of 1++ Korean Beef and grilled them at a charcoal grill restaurant above. The beef was soo delicious and at the price we paid, it was well worth every penny! We highly recommend the shop we purchased our beef from, the lady was super nice and helpful!

Was easy to get here on your own if you are on a cruise stopover. From Busan station, take a metro to Toseong station and get out at exit 6. Once out, walk straight then proceed to bus stop of Pusan NU hospital. Board bus 1-1, 2 or 2-2 and it will take you all the way to the entrance of Gamcheong Cultural Village. Be there early or you will soon have many people in your photos which you would not want to. The sights are interesting with many artworks decorating the routes along the whole village and the colorful houses make the whole scene perfect picture shots. There are also a number of eateries throughout the village. Be warn though. There are steep slopes and staircases and would not be so friendly for the elderly. This is something different from most order tourist sites. Worth a trip.

Artsy place that has its own character and occasional buskers. Nice to walk, shop, eat and chill. I prefer this over the generic Myeongdong. Quite a number of restaurants, cafes and fashion stalls (personal favorites are Another Awesome, Fashionhong and Tomato Library)

The night market we found last Saturday night was not a market as such - more a fun, friendly night out for locals and tourists alike! Apparently it happens every Friday & Saturday and there is live music from a variety of performers including a great band of girl drummers. The live streaming on the huge screen above the stage adds excitement as you see yourselves when the camera zooms in! We were the only westerners but we felt most welcome. We were even approached to complete a visitor’s questionnaire which we did with the help of Papago/Google translate! Cold beer and soju is available and many stalls take credit card. When we bought our shrimp and noodle dish from one of the 15-20 food stalls we stood at one of the makeshift table tops and ended up being invited to share our neighbours’ food and drink! They left and we were then invited to join another couple about our age (mid 50s) who had enough English to have a fascinating chat. As they left we took the ubiquitous selfie and they fished in their bag and presented us with a beautiful pair of wooden chopsticks in a silk pocket each.

This is the city's largest market. Almost everything is available for sale including clothing, souvenirs, purses, and food supplies. Many stalls are open into the wee hours of the morning.

It's a nice local market, perfect for shopping souvenirs to take home :) Try the dumplings and the ginger tea, those are so good!

Walking around the market was great to see the ladies selling their fish in the street. The view of the bay from behind the market is greta as well. What makes this place special to me is what happens on the second floor. If you like seafood you need to go to the second floor and select a stall (we went to 40 as we liked their menu and options and it was great). Order the food and enjoy amazing fresh seafood and a greta view of the bay. We have been to Japan and other countries that have amazing seafood and I must say that what we had there was as good if not better. We had the best Sea Urchin we ever tasted (Better than Japan). The oysters were fresh and creamy and everything isles was amazing as well. Im sure the restaurants in the streets surrounding the market are great, but our experience on the second floor was truly remarkable. If you like fresh seafood, if you have to go there. I believe you can buy your own seafood on the first floor and bring it to the second to have them cook it. We simply ordered and saw our waitress go downstairs and pick it out from a vendor.
