서면
Busan's downtown commercial and nightlife hub, home to underground shopping, Jeonpo Café Street, and a pork soup rice alley.
Seomyeon sits where subway Lines 1 and 2 cross. It is Busan's largest downtown shopping district, home to Lotte Department Store, the Seomyeon underground shopping arcade, and Judies Taehwa, among others. Nearby Jeonpo Café Street was featured in The New York Times and has many independent cafés and bakeries. Seomyeon 1st Street and the Dwaeji Gukbap Alley (pork soup rice alley) have many long-established restaurants, making them the best place to try Busan's pork soup rice. In the evening, bars, barbecue joints, and karaoke rooms stay open late. Getting there: take subway Lines 1 and 2 to Seomyeon Station. It is about 10 minutes from Busan Station.
