[The used bookstore that sells memories]
Bosu-dong Book Street has a unique background. It was formed after the independence of Korea (August 15) as a residential area in the empty place where the previous Gukje Market was demolished. Book stores began opening one-by-one and soon the street became known as Bosu-dong Book Street. The street is popular amongst booklovers for their used books as well as new books, and amongst travelers for the street’s unique atmosphere. Many young adults also frequent the street because there are many specialty shops for comic books. Every year, the Bosu-dong Culture Festival takes place and visitors can participate in events such as, make-your-own book cover, make-your-own book, and so on. The festival not only gives an opportunity to learn about the history of Bosu-dong Book Street, but have a good time as well.

As a traditional market naturally formed during the Japanese colonial era, Yeongdo Bongnae Market boasted a large scale, but became smaller in size by being partially incorporated with the road after the establishment of Busandaegyo Bridge. The commercial district was further reduced when Namhang Market was formed on the other side. However, food companies such as Samjin Foods and Seongsil Foods, which boast a history and tradition of more than 50 years, maintain their positions within the marketplace and continue to be favored by the local community.
