THE NIGHT MARKET IN BUSAN - PART TWO

[CONTINUATION OF PART ONE]

22nd MARCH 2019 ~ I was at the market twice, the day when I arrived and the last day before going back. With the number of stalls seen along the streets and alleys, I just wonder could the locals be visiting the night market that frequently? Or are there actually a constant high number of tourists in Busan who keep the place alive?

This should be one of the statues related to Busan International Film Festival found on the walkway.

One interesting thing I found here was there was the one row of stalls where some fortune-tellers were waiting for people to visit them. Not a good idea to this in such low temperature, unless people are desperate to know what lies ahead for them.

For one thing, I had walked miles and miles at the night market and was relieved to find a metro station to get me back to my hotel. One place you should not miss to spend your evening when you are in Busan.

THE NIGHT MARKET IN BUSAN - PART ONE

22nd MARCH 2019 ~ As recommended by travel bloggers, one of the activities that visitors should do in Busan is to visit the night market, particularly known as BIFF Square.

BIFF stands for Busan International Film Festival and this should be the spot where the major event takes place annually.

During other time, BIFF Square is crowded with locals and tourists alike. There were rows and rows of stalls and they were just never ending, selling all things Korean. If you love to sample Korean street food, this should be the place to go.

Eventually, I found the items sold here were almost the same and unfortunately was not attractive enough for me to take back home as souvenirs. I was looking for something more prominent and distinct from Busan.

I actually lost my way there, not knowing where to go or how to get back to the first entry point. The night was like a river - the stalls on the streets were connected to another row of stalls on another street and they were just continuous. At the same time the temperature was quite low in the evening when I was there. It was 5°C, no wonder I was shivering all the time.
