Hi, I’m Tabi!

Discover everyday life at Busanjin Market and the hillside streets of Choryang. Check travel between the two areas and allow for the stairway.

This guide covers places within Dong-gu, Busan, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Busanjin Market

A traditional market in Dong-gu known for textiles, clothing and wedding goods. Despite its name, it is not in Busanjin-gu. The entrance was photographed in 2018; consult the official directory for current shops.

Getting there

02

A first-visit stop

Choryang 168 Stairs

초량 168계단

A steep stairway linking hillside homes with the port area. Current official guidance describes the inclined Haneulgil elevator. Distinguish it from the former monorail and check the day’s operating and access information.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Busanjin Market’s official directory lists stalls serving noodles, gimbap and light meals. Check individual menus and opening days when choosing something to eat during your market visit.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
