Nampo-dong

A bustling downtown shopping and entertainment district in the old heart of Busan, long the commercial and cultural center of the port city. Its dense grid of streets holds department stores, cinemas, and the celebrated BIFF Square associated with the city's international film festival, where handprints of directors are set into the pavement and street food stalls line the lanes. The area connects to the Gwangbok-ro shopping street, the Jagalchi fish market, and the hilltop tower park, making it a hub of activity by day and night.
