About About the place

Gijang Market is a traditional market located in Busan, South Korea, historically known for a wide variety of delicacies. Today, it is primarily a seafood market, specializing in crab – king crab and snow crab being particularly popular. The market is characterized by vendors actively soliciting customers, creating a dynamic and sometimes assertive sales environment. Visitors can purchase seafood directly from the stalls and have it prepared at nearby restaurants. While the market offers a local experience, some guests find the sales tactics overwhelming. It's a popular destination for both locals and tourists seeking fresh seafood at potentially lower prices than other areas of Busan.
