Steam, ice, and shouted prices form a living pulse at Noryangjin Fish Market. Step off the subway and the market grabs you—slabs of glinting fish on ice, vendors calling orders, and the briny air that tells you dinner is immediate and uncompromised. After the meal, a short walk up to Sayuksin Park opens toward the Han River; the water pulls the city outward and gives the night a broad, cool edge.
