In the late 19th century, Korea's first modern shipyard was established, and there are still more than a dozen repair shipyards and about 200 industrial companies in the area. It is said that the name of the village was born from the sound of a hammer hitting the surface of a rusty boat. In "My Name," it appeared as Inchang-si, the main stage of gangsters, and the unique atmosphere harmonized well with the content, adding to the dramatic fun. There are also many cute cafes to explore, and it is fun to experience a tour program that runs three times a day on weekends.

When the bridge was first constructed, many people would gather to watch the strange spectacle of a bridge rising up to point to the sky. The bridge remains a famous landmark of Busan even to this day.

After the Korean War, the market solidified itself as a fish market. Most of the people who sell fish are women, so the vendors here are called Jagalchi Ajumeoni, "ajumeoni" meaning middle-aged or married woman in Korean.

This market represents Busan and is famous throughout the country. Visitors can eat fresh raw fish right at the market. Even nowadays visitors can see women selling mackerel, sea squirts (ascidians) and other seafood on wooden boxes along the road outside of the market and along the shore.

Amnam-Park (암남공원)

2.3Km    2025-07-18

Die großartigen Aussichten auf die prächtigen Klippen und die mit Bäumen gesäumte Küste vom Amnam-Park lassen das blau-grüne Wasser mit der bewaldeten Landschaft verschmelzen.
Nach der Erklärung zum Schutzgebiet war der Zutritt zu diesem Gebiet verboten, bis es schließlich 1996 wieder der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht wurde, und Besucher zum ersten Mal die unberührte Landschaft erleben konnten.
Im Park kann man heute angeln, ein Observatorium besuchen und sich an Spazierwegen und einer erhabenen Brücke erfreuen. Die Fülle an Pinien entlang der Wege machen es zu einem angenehmen Spaziergang; auf dem Weg hinauf zum Observatorium bietet dieses gut beforstete Gebiet großartige Aussichten. Wenn Sie angeln möchten, können Sie dies auf dem Meer oder von den fantastisch geformten Felsen aus tun.
Es gibt eine berühmte Straße vom Songdo-Strand zum Amnam-Park, die beliebt ist für sehr gemütliche Fahrten. Die Fahrt dauert etwa 5 min., wenn Sie zu Fuß gehen wollen, brauchen Sie etwa 20 Minuten.

BIFF Square (BIFF 광장)

+82-1688-3010

Busan’s modern movie district was originally little more than a pair of cinemas that were built following Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule over half a century ago. However, major renovations took place ahead of the first Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), and the newly transformed district was named BIFF Square on September 13, 1996.

Having been remade into a cultural tourist attraction promoting the advancement of Korea’s film industry, BIFF Square has contributed to Busan’s status as an international cultural tourist city. The 428 meter-long street stretching from the Buyeong Theater in Nampo-dong to the overpass in Chungmu-dong was divided into “Star Street” and “Festival Street,” and on the eve of the festival each year the “BIFF Square Ground Opening” is held here. During the ceremony, events such as the hand printing of famous movie celebrities and Nunkkot Jeomdeung (snow-flower lighting) take place. A district such as BIFF Square, crowded with first-run theaters in a city is rare not only in Asia but Europe as well, and for this reason it holds great potential. In recent years, the square has grown into a more complex area, featuring not only movie theaters but also shops and leisure facilities, attracting growing numbers of young visitors and tourists.
