Songdo Skywalk
The sky walk has drawn attention as the first of its kind in Korea, and for its long, curving trail. To date, the first section of the walk
has been installed and measures 104 m, stretching around Geobukseom Island. When completed next February, the Songdo Sky Walk will
set a new record as the longest ocean walk in Korea at 296 m in length and 2.3 m in width.
The sky walk will also have a viewing platform stretching out into the water to give visitors a spectacular view of the coastline.
Transparent tempered glass was also used in sections of the flooring for the walk, allowing for clear views of the waters below and
giving people the true sensation of walking on water. It is positioned 5.5~8 m above sea level making it far closer to the sea than
the Oryukdo Sky Walk, which is positioned 37 m above the shore, along a seashore cliff. Everyone will be able to enjoy the thrilling and
exciting experience of watching blue waves under their feet.

BIFF Square
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) in 1996, and the newly transformed district was named BIFF Square on August 14, 1996

Gukje Market
Following the Korean War, refugees who had fled to Busan set up stalls in order to make a living, and this was the beginning of the Gukje Market (gukje meaning "international"). The Gukje Market is one of Korea’s largest markets; each alleyway is crowded with stalls, and it connects to the Bupyeong Market, Kkangtong Market, and other smaller markets. The market stocks such a wide variety of goods, that you can find almost everything you need right here.

Jagalchi Market
The Jagalchi Market is Korea's largest seafood market. After the Korean War the market solidified itself as a fish market. Most of the people who sell fish are women, so the women who sell here are called 'Jagalchi Ajumma,' 'ajumma' meaning middle-aged or married women.
This market represents Busan and is famous throughout the country. If you visit you can eat fresh raw fish right at the market. Even these days you can see women selling mackerel, sea squirts (ascidians) and whale meat on wooden boxes along the road.
