Buan Permanent Market / Buan Market | Market Guide

Located near Buan Terminal, Buan Permanent Market was selected as an excellent case market in 2015. It is a traditional market recognized for its cultural tourism development project that leverages Buan's unique characteristics such as local specialties, history, and culture, allowing visitors to experience tourism and hands-on activities within the market. Reflecting Buan’s geographical trait of being surrounded by sea on three sides, visitors can see, choose, and taste fresh seafood including mainly sea bream, flatfish, mullet, croaker, clams, and large shrimp. The Buan fish market, which overflows with fresh seafood caught daily in front of Chilsan, West Coast, attracts customers from nearby Jeongeup and Gimje as well. Also, fresh vegetables and fruits harvested by Buan farmers are auctioned here, making it a popular place for local restaurants to source fresh produce. If you go southwest along the market alley, you can find a red bean porridge restaurant where you can enjoy delicious and generous servings of red bean porridge.
