Walk on the alley, following the smell of freshly baked bread to reach the bakery. Visit the Bakery Alley at Namcheon-dong, Suyeong-gu, where you can see and taste all kinds of bread.

Ppangcheon-dong is a combination of “Namcheon-dong,” a town famous for cherry blossoms and the Korean word, “ppang,” which means bread. People grew up eating bread as a snack. Now, there are many franchise bakeries, but here, you can easily find unique bakeries full of character. Ppangcheon-dong, known as the pilgrimage site for bread enthusiasts in the country, appears soon as you leave Namcheon Station on Busan Metro Line 2. At the entrance is the signage of Ppangcheon-dong that introduces over 20 bakeries.

The cake bakery at the alley under Exit 1 of Namcheon Station removes one’s assumption that cake is only for birthdays. Inside their refrigerator, there are all kinds of irresistible cakes with flavorful, sweet whipped cream. All different in shapes and flavors, a slice of cake is a great choice to start off the Ppandcheon-dong tour.

There are also bakeries for those who want to buy a special cake for their special someone. This bakery makes one-of-a-kind, customized cakes. We can also buy dry flowers here. If you are planning to throw a magnificent birthday party, this is the perfect place. Reservation is required three days in advance.

If you want to try foreign bread, try the bakery run by a French chef, where only French-imported flour and naturally fermented spices are used to make healthy bread. Inhaling the nutty aroma of French bread will make you feel like you are at a bakery in Paris.

How can you resist the smell of freshly baked loaves of bread? One bakery in Ppangcheon-dong only makes small loaves of bread over time. If you want to enjoy bread fresh- from- the- oven, invest a bit of time.

There is also a place for those who want to try various loaves of bread. All tourists who visit Busan stop by this place on their trip. This place is famous for making an indefinite amount of bread, and the sheer volume alone will make you happy.

If you cannot digest flour-based bread, try the bakery that uses Hongguk Rice, effective in preventing adult diseases with its blood-cleansing effect. We recommend the shrimp baguette as a special treat.

Ppangcheon-dong has a 400-year-old hackberry tree, which is protected by thorns, that witnessed the history of the village, such as its old bakeries. The alley near Ppangcheon-dong, on the other hand, retains the historical elements of the village, such as the 500-year-old well.

In a time when franchise bakeries dominated the commercial district of villages, why not try something special at Ppangcheon-dong Culure Ilbeonga Street , where you can taste interesting and unique types of bread.
