A Starry Night in Busan
Busan, Korea’s No. 1 transshipment hub and port city, launched the “Starry Night in Busan (SNB)” night tourism brand in 2022, aiming to transform night tourism from scenic views to an array of fun and engaging experiences and programs for people of all ages. The annual “SNB Night Festa” offers non-stop entertainment throughout Busan, ensuring the city stays lively from dusk till dawn.
Yongdusan Park: A Hotspot for Pragmatic Travellers Seeking to Experience Authentic Busan
Yongdusan Park, located in Busan’s historic city centre, is a symbol of Korea's modern history. Once a bustling post-war hub, the area is now dubbed "foodie heaven" by travellers, thanks to the nearby Jagalchi Market, Korea's largest fish market. The area also features Gukje Market and Nampo-dong Shopping Street, which are popular for bargain shopping and appetizing street food.
Nicknamed "Korea's Khaosan Road," Yongdusan Park offers the most authentic “Busan-esque” vibe, with budget accommodations, mouthwatering local food, and plenty of entertainment. Once commonly known as a "senior's playground," the park has been revitalized and has evolved into a trendy destination popular with Gen Z. As the main venue for the SNB Night Festa, Yongdusan Park will host various events from July through October this year, including a Night Pop-up Store and flea market featuring popular Korean characters and mascots, a Candlelight Concert with classical music, the Yongdusan Night Festival, and a night walk involving a quiz and treasure hunt.
