Busan Buk-gu Deokcheon Market and Old Town (부산 북구 덕천시장)

Deokcheon Market in Buk-gu is one of the most active traditional markets in Busan's northern residential districts — a covered market that functions primarily as the daily supply centre for the surrounding working-class and lower-middle-income residential population. The market operates on a completely local economy: fresh produce, fish, prepared banchan, clothing, and household goods at prices that reflect the demographics. The surrounding Deokcheon-dong and the northern slope of Gudeoksan provide the context for the kind of ordinary residential Busan that the tourist circuits of Haeundae and Nampo-dong do not represent.
