2025 Nampodong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

Walking through the bustling Nampo-dong shopping district, aside from various beauty and fashion stores, there's a curated shop called BUTTER that will make your inner girly side explode! With its colorful and adorable exterior, it's hard to resist stepping inside. The store offers a wide range of creative goods and everyday items, such as small cards, charms, keychains, and more. Not only are they practical, but they're also irresistibly cute. On the second floor, there's a photo booth where you can take pictures for free 🆓. The printed paper (black-and-white print) can be kept as a souvenir—it's absolutely fantastic!

[Chungmu-dong Coastal Market] 충무동해안시장 5 minutes walk west from the super famous Jagalchi Market. This is a market loved by locals, different from the tourist-filled Jagalchi Market❤️ The fish lined up are fresh and lively🐟 Just looking at it is fun, and you can also find souvenirs such as dried fish. A hidden gem is the popped rice shop⭐️ The simple-tasting rice crackers are addictive♪ It's fun because they pop up on the spot, and you can buy a lot of popped rice in a bag at a low price. If you walk south from the market, you will come to a scenic coast with many boats parked✨ There is a gate, but it is a walking spot for locals, so you can enter freely from 6am to 6pm. There is also a public toilet.

#springsummergoodplace2024 #新东亚商会 #busanmust-go #busanfood This area is the most convenient seafood market in downtown Busan, and it is also a good place for tourists to taste delicious food. Of course, everyone says that Gijang is the cheapest place, but it is a little farther by car. Jagalchi is located in Nampo-dong. Next to the business district, you can reach it after crossing the road. It's super close. It is mainly divided into roadside areas, as well as Jagalchi Market and Shindonga Fisheries Comprehensive Market. This time I ate inside Shindonga. Here I ate directly next to the store. In Jagalchi, you have to go to the second floor and there is an additional charge. Cooking fee. I recommend stall No. 19. The boss is very cute. Remember to bargain. Everyone is welcome to compare and try it at your favorite store. There is a price difference. It depends on what you can accept. The king crab is really good. Delicious, the corn and sweet potatoes provided are also very sweet, and the scallops are also highly recommended. #busanseafood #kingcrab #liveoctopus #jagalchimarket #新东亚 seafood comprehensive market #seafood market #nampodong #Sindonga #busanseafood

#June Travel Support Fund 🍺 Gyeongju Customs, a time to fill a quiet night with emotional beer A small space with warm lighting leaking in between the alleys of Jung-gu, Busan. Gyeongju Customs was a space for a real 'solo drinking feeling' or 'small gathering' where no atmosphere, alcohol, or food were lacking. The walls were lined with analog-feeling props and books, and the tables were lined with craft beers from all over the world, and the time flowing with quiet music was unusually leisurely. The beers I chose today were dark ale and IPA. The strong malt flavor and moderate carbonation, each of which had a distinct personality, so each beer was deep like an independent conversation. The steak plate that came with it was cooked close to rare, and the juicy meat, crispy potatoes, and fragrant mushrooms were in harmony, and the non-spicy whole-grain mustard was perfect to finish it off. The lights are warm, the conversation is gentle, A day when you want to slowly organize the day.

There are long queues at three stores! I watched a Korean drama a few years ago. There was a very beautiful beach in the drama. I looked it up and found out it was called "Haeundae". That was my first impulse to travel to Busan, South Korea. Later, the Solitary Gourmet Goro also went to Busan to film an episode, which was the second time I thought about going to Busan ([The Solitary Gourmet Visit No. 87 - Korean Busan Food] Oryukdo Fried Octopus 오륙도 낙지볶음. Octopus, shrimp, beef intestines, perfect spicy mountain and sea pot), Haeundae's Michelin ([Korea Michelin No. 8 - Busan Food] Jinxiu Pufferfish 금수복국 Haeundae Main Branch. Busan Michelin Recommendation. 55-year-old pufferfish restaurant. Pufferfish four-course meal). Having said that, let’s talk about the three popular restaurants with long queues in Haeundae Market and Night Market. 1️⃣ Store name Seafood Pancake 봉자네실비집 Store Location 20-1 Gunam-ro 41beon-gil, Jung-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan Opening hours 14:00-22:00 ———————————————————————————— 2️⃣Store name Busan Haeundae Famous Sugar Cake Store Location 해운대명품호떡:부산 해운대구 중동1로 38 Opening hours 11:30~23:00 (Closed on Mondays) ———————————————————————————— 3️⃣Store name Honey Ba Beoljip Ice Cream Store Location 1394-95 Jung-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, Opening hours 11:00-23:00

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The few days in Busan this time were more like experiencing the pace of a city rather than a fully scheduled itinerary of attractions. From the wind by the port to meeting the Little Prince on the hillside, there is a special gentleness to this city, hidden between the slopes, murals and sea breeze. ⸻ 📍Gamcheon-dong Culture Village (Little Prince Attraction) The colorful houses on the entire hillside look like a village in a fairy tale book. Walking slowly along the alley, you can find various installation arts and graffiti, as well as the most classic "The Little Prince and the Fox" check-in spot. Standing on the side of the mountain and looking at the intertwined scenery of the port and the city, it feels like you have entered a fairy tale world. 📍Nampo-dong and Jagalchi Market A bustling shopping and seafood destination, it has everything from beauty products, clothing, snacks to traditional markets. Especially at night, when the street lights come on, the air is full of the smell of life. Although there are many people, it does not feel crowded. ⸻ 🚄Transportation 【Gamcheon-dong Culture Village】 ． Take the subway to "Tucheng Station" Exit 6, and then take the city bus "2, 2-2, 1-1" etc. ． Or take a taxi from Jagalchi Market or Nampo-dong for about 10-15 minutes 【Nampo-dong・Jagalchi Market】 ． Get off at Nampo Station or Jagalchi Station on Subway Line 1 ⸻ 🫀Personal experience We walked to the Gamcheon-dong Culture Village that day. As we were climbing the slope, I wondered why I was so adamant about not taking a ride, but when we reached the top of the mountain, I felt it was really worth it. The statue of the "Little Prince" was smaller than I had imagined, but the sight of him sitting on the roof with the fox, looking out over the entire Busan Port, was unexpectedly touching. It seems to remind myself that I don’t have to keep rushing, I can also stop and look at the world. Later, I returned to the city, wandered around Nampo-dong, ate fish cakes, bought socks, and looked at neon signs. I felt that Busan was different from Seoul. It was less gorgeous, but more down-to-earth. Many snacks are the kind that you can eat while standing and chat for a while before leaving, and they are also very delicious. Busan does not package itself as a dreamy place, but it is this sense of reality that makes people want to come back.

There are many delicious foods in the Nampo-dong business district and Jagalchi Market in Busan. Today we will introduce "Busan Pork Knuckle / Original Busan Pork Knuckle" (원조부산족발) located in "Pig Knuckle Street", which is famous for its cold pork knuckle and marinated meat. The cold and thinly sliced ​​pork knuckle of "Original Busan Pork Knuckle" is chewy and delicious, and is paired with cucumbers, carrots, jellyfish skin, shredded meat and crab sticks, which is appetizing and refreshing with excellent taste. There are also a variety of sauces, condiments and side dishes, so you can have different delicious experiences from the first bite to the last bite. When eating in Korea, whether it is pig's feet, pork belly, barbecue, etc., the meat is basically wrapped in leafy vegetables and eaten together with various side dishes. It is very delicious! Busan Pork Knuckle / Original Busan Pork Knuckle Tel: +82-5-1245-5359 📍Address: 13-1 Jung-gu, Busan, South Korea 🕰️Opening hours: 10:00–00:00

Jagalchi Market is a seafood market that you cannot miss when traveling to Busan. Want to eat fresh seafood? You can't go wrong here! Busan is a seaport, and seafood is naturally an important part of Busan's must-eat delicacies. This is the largest fish market in Busan, South Korea. The freshest fish is available every day, and even local Koreans come here to buy the freshest seafood. The indoor environment of Jagalchi Fish Market is clean! Compared to traditional markets outside, the regulations here are more extensive and sanitary. You can hardly smell the annoying fishy smell of the fish market. The amount of seafood sold is staggering. You can spend 30 minutes to an hour shopping on the first floor. There are probably hundreds of stores selling fresh seafood. It is a paradise for seafood lovers! The prices are different in each season, and the popularity varies with the season. We think the best way is to have a price bottom line in mind (compare prices from three stores first), so that you won't be in a rush when choosing crabs. The store will calculate the price based on the weight of the crab. This is my second visit to this restaurant. As the seafood is fresh enough, you don't need too many complicated cooking methods to enjoy the most delicious and sweet taste of seafood. The restaurant staff recommends steaming mainly, such as steamed scallops, steamed snow crab, and live octopus. .

Located at Busan Jagalchi Station [멕코이치킨 부평점], it is not a large Korean fried chicken chain brand, but it is recommended by locals! The most authentic Korean fried chicken. The best thing about the original fried chicken at [멕코이치킨 부평점] is the skin. It is fried upon order and served piping hot. When you take a bite, it is crispy, salty and delicious, with just the right amount of seasoning. The seasoned fried chicken at [멕코이치킨 부평점] is sweet and spicy, with a thick seasoning sauce. The spiciness is on the "mild" level. It tastes sweet and spicy and goes really well with a beer! In addition to being a Korean fried chicken restaurant, 멕코이치킨 부평점 also offers a specialty "Korean Spicy Chicken Stew" on the main menu! Add chicken thighs, cabbage, rice cakes and other ingredients to a special Korean hot sauce and stew them together. It's also quite delicious The fried chicken shop is located at 9-1, 24-Eleven, Namdaemun Street. The green sign at the door is very conspicuous and easy to find on the whole street! From Busan Jagalchi Station, exit 3 or 5, walk to the restaurant in about 4-5 minutes. 멕코이치킨 부평점｜Business Information Address: 부산 중구 보수대로24번길 9-1 Tel: 051-246-5592

📍Address: 31 Gwangbokjungang-ro, Jung-gu, Busan 📍Atmosphere/Facilities: Clean, but somehow nostalgic 📍Key Points I've been eating it since I was young, but the best thing about Lee Jae-mo's pizza is that it's not greasy. It's delicious, but even though it's a food with a lot of flour and cheese, it's not greasy, so it always feels like the ingredients are fresh. The cheese is really delicious. I didn't eat kimchi fried rice that day, but if you go to the main branch, try it once. It's perfect to eat with pizza in the old days. I want to eat it again after writing this. I've only been to the main branch, so I can't compare the taste with other branches. Hehe I had it delivered from Choryang before, and it was okay. But it's the best when you go and eat it. 📍Average price per person: About 28,000 won per plate 📍Rating: 5/5 #Travel guide #Busan travel

I don't know much about coffee, but the coffee is also well-received. There are also various non-coffee menus. This cafe is so popular that there are often no seats. It's next to Lee Jae-mo, so it's good for a course. 📍Average price per person: 7,000 won 📍Rating: 4/5 #Travel guide #Busan travel

🔸Everyday is Different ✔️Location: 1st Floor, 26-1 Daecheong-ro 126beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan Introducing 'Everyday is Different,' a charming cafe in Nampo-dong.

📍Address: 4-1, Gwangbokjungang-ro 24beon-gil, Jung-gu, Busan 📍Atmosphere/Facilities: Although it is a two-story building, the store itself is small.
