When the outside weather is nice, many shoppers still come here. When the weather turns wet or cold, it gets very packed with people mingling around trying to avoid the elements.

PIFF Square
PIFF Square Because of the close proximity of a number of movie theaters, this area holds the Busan International Film Festival each year. Area officials have attempted to create a Hollywood-like atmosphere by having hand prints of famous movie stars and directors in the sidewalk. The movie theaters create a lot of foot traffic, so many trendy shops pay premium prices for nearby store fronts. At night, street vendors of all sorts come out and make the area even more crowded.
