Kukje Market
The Kukje Market in Pusan is as large as the Namdaemun
Market in Seoul, and offers almost every kind of product in
abundance. It started as a market where refugees, having flowed
into Pusan in the wake of the nation's liberation, and the Korean
War in particular, set up business. Kukje Market is comprised of six shopping blocks formed around alleyways. You can buy almost anything you want, from Korean traditional dresses and fabrics, textiles, clothing, bags, and eye-glasses, to curtains and accessories, at wholesale prices. With these shopping blocks as the core, there are stationary shops, mirror and frame shops, and towel shops along the street adjacent to Pup'yong-dong, and electronic goods, leather items, bags, blankets, umbrellas, and handcrafts shops along the street leading to Shinch'ang-dong. Many shops are clustered between the shopping blocks, selling eating utensils, bedspreads, keys and machine components. |
Chagalch'i Market
Chagalch'i Market, which stretches along the street from the
Pusan City Hall to Namp'o-dong, is not only familiar to the
residents of Pusan but also famous to the people of other regions
of the country. Most sellers in this market are women, except the workers who unload fish from ships. The market is noisy all the time with spirited voices full of life, which characterizes Kyongsang-do women, coupled with the flapping sound of leaping fish. |
