Bupyeong Kkangtong Night Market 부평깡통야시장
Busan · Nampo-dong, Jagalchi & Yeongdo · Shopping
Bupyeong Kkangtong Night Market is an evening street food market that runs through the lanes of the old market. Rows of stalls sell grilled skewers, fried snacks, rice cakes, seafood and sweet treats, and strings of lights and low tables give it a festive feeling. The best strategy is to sample from several vendors and share a few dishes with friends.
Some stalls take cards, but many want cash, and a few close early when supplies run out. It is busiest on weekends. Operating nights, hours and vendor mix vary by season, so check recent information before you go.
Jagalchi Station (자갈치역), Line 1, then walk about 10 minutes. (Show a driver: 부평깡통야시장)
