WALKING AWAY FROM JAGALCHI MARKET - PART TWO




23rd MARCH 2019 ~ If you are wondering why my post on my visit to and away from Jagalchi Market is never ending, it is because that is the way how the market it. I basically just walked along the street, observing people selling fish and other marine creatures on the left and right side of the small streets. I had no idea where I was going and where the roads would lead me to. It seemed to be just endless. I just could not move on, literally speaking. Never had I seen so much fish on sale in my entire life.




I think Jagalchi Market is connected to other street market, and then another, and another. This should be the longest market ever visited.








Then I came across this small port which I think where the fishermen's boats harboured.














Then, there was this market which did not sell fish. People here were selling mainly vegetables, so let's just call this place a vegetable market.






















I finally reached the end of the walking street market and there was this arch with the name: Chungmu-dong Daybreak Market which should be the main entrance/exit.


Going to the market in Busan should be an awesome experience. If you read travel blogs, people just focused on Jagalchi Market but you should try seeing the market on the streets and you will never see the market at home the same again.

If I were to go back to Busan again, I would have to stay in an apartment where I could buy all the seafood, cook and it all.

WALKING AWAY FROM JAGALCHI MARKET - PART ONE


23rd MARCH 2019 ~ When I thought leaving Jagalchi Market would be the end of my experience seeing fish and all kinds of sea creatures, the sight was simply never-ending. As I walking away, there were more people selling more things by the road sides and it was endless.









I think Busan people really consume a lot of fish every day, just by looking at the big number of people selling inside and outside Jagalchi Market.














If you wonder why were there so many women running the business at the market area, it would go back to the history of Korea. During the Korean War a long time ago, the men had to go and serve the military. Consequently, the women had to take over the job at the market.

I wonder if the fish outside would be cheaper than the ones sold inside the main market building.
