Gukje Market is one of Korea’s largest markets. The market's alleyways are lined with stalls selling diverse goods, particularly machinery tools, kitchenware, and clothing. To the market's right is an alleyway lined with charity stores, and to the left is Kkangtong Market.

As a traditional market naturally formed during the Japanese colonial era, Yeongdo Bongnae Market boasted a large scale, but became smaller in size by being partially incorporated with the road after the establishment of Busandaegyo Bridge. The commercial district was further reduced when Namhang Market was formed on the other side. However, food companies such as Samjin Foods and Seongsil Foods, which boast a history and tradition of more than 50 years, maintain their positions within the marketplace and continue to be favored by the local community.
