Busan's biggest postwar market spreads across a grid of themed alleys — kitchenware, fabrics, electronics, imported vintage clothing, and food lanes — that grew from goods traded by wartime refugees. It anchors the old downtown and connects on foot to Bupyeong Market, BIFF Square, and the Bosu-dong book alley.

Local context

The vintage 'guje' alley between Gukje and Bupyeong markets is where locals dig for secondhand denim and military surplus, while most tourists never leave the main food lane; the shop featured in the film 'Ode to My Father' is still a local landmark.
