BIFF Square — Attraction in Busan

Busan, a Foodie Town or Capital?

In Singapore (and of course Malaysia & Indonesia) we have amazing hawker food, but when it comes to street food Busan must surely be on the top! (Now I hear my Thai & Vietnamese bitching & complaining, 😆😆😆)

1st Day in Busan, walked two markets including the famous BIFF food street and some fun pictures along the way! Not much of an excursion otherwise as major rain storm was forecasted, but afternoon was truly enjoyable, walking and tasting all the wonderful things on offer!

Between Gukje Market & BIFF, which are pretty much next to each other, this place is magical for any serious foodie, and we haven’t even explored many other recommended areas!

The variety, on offer makes any food heart jump high, also impressive s the cleanliness (totally no smells, only wonderful aromas) and each stall/stand is pretty meticulously in their crafting these amazing morsels!

My Diet has totally taken a backseat and that’s ok, we are not coming here every other day or week, so some indulgence is in order!

I can’t wait what the rest of the week has on offer for us! This is an amazing location for any foodie!

Highly recommended!

Enjoy

옛날 영화관들이 있고 이승기호떡 등 길거리음식들이 많이 있습니다.

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 August 14, 1996.

Having been remade into a cultural tourist attraction promoting the advancement of Korea’s film industry, BIFF Square has contributed to Busan’s newfound 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 on the street. During the ceremony, events such as the hand printing of famous movie celebrities and Nunggot 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...
