Gukje Market Food Street has more than 60 years of history as one of Busan's traditional markets' most famous food streets. It is known for a number of dishes, such as Chungmu gimbap served with sweet and sour squid salad, sweet-and-spicy tteokbokki, milmyeon (wheat noodles), dwaeji gukbap (pork and rice soup), sundae, patbingsu (shaved ice with red beans), and Busan’s iconic bibim dangmyeon (spicy glass noodles). These dishes are enjoyed on small stools next to the street stalls. The sight of the diners lining the stall is one of the defining views of traditional markets in Korea. Visitors can also find suitable clothing, shoes, and accessories here.

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.
