The park and the tower are two different decisions: the park costs nothing and never closes, the tower charges admission and stops selling tickets at 21:30.
Frequently asked questions
How does buying seafood work?
You agree a price for what you choose and, separately, how it will be prepared. Confirm both before ordering — they are not quoted together.
Do I need cash?
Bring it. Individual stalls set their own terms and card acceptance is not uniform across the market.
Stories about this place
- Five Places to Visit in Nampo-dong, Busan: Jagalchi, Gukje Market, BIFF Square, Yongdusan Park and Bupyeong Night Market
Five stops within a fifteen-minute walk, set out by what each is for, whether it opens on a Sunday and what it costs. Their hours run straight through the day, from a fish market before dawn to a night market at midnight, so the question is the order rather than the choice.
