Bupyeong (Kkangtong) Night Market 부평시장(깡통시장) - Korean Street Food - Busan South Korea

Bupyeong Kkangtong Market 부평시장(깡통시장)
Busan's Bupyeong Market is also known as Kkangtong (tin can) Market. It earned that funny name when it had a variety of imported canned goods from the United States for the US forces stationed in Korea during the Korean War.
It was also known as "Dottegi (bustling plea) Market." All foreign products found in the country at that time were supplied from this market. Due to its vast property and many rare goods that were hard to find anywhere else during the time, it was also referred as "Gukje (International) Market."
Nowadays, the market has reduced in size as many foreign products are freely imported, but the reputation and potential still remain.
The market dates back to 1910 but the night market is realtively new. Bupyeong Kkangtong Night Market in Busan is the nation’s first permanent night market, opened at the end of October, 2013. It has since become an iconic night tourism spot as well as a national landmark. It is visited by 2,000-3,000 people on average during the week and 5,000-7,000 people on the weekend.
The selection of street food is what draws so many people here to see it. The food and atmosphere are well worth a visit. It’s a short walk from the metro and the market is open nightly from 7:30-11:30 pm.
