Hello, everyone! It's Creatrip, your Korea based travel besties, together with fun and essential travel information and tips that only insiders know.
If Lotte Mart in Seoul Stn., Home Plus in Hapjeong and Emart near Dongdaemun/ Dongmyo are the best hypermarkets in Seoul, Lotte Mart in Nampodong is the most popular in Busan.
Come check out Creatrip's latest review that focuses on the most important tax refund information, lockers and must-buy direction! You can also get the answer of whether self-packing service ends in this blog. Let's get it!

It is said that the best hypermarket in Busan is the Lotte Mart next to Nampo Station. It is also part of the Lotte Department Store, which can also satisfy the needs of shopping and eating at the same time. Convenient isn't it?
Unlike the one in Seoul Station, please note that Busan Nampo Lotte Mart is open from 10:30 to 23:00
In addition, tax refund can be done on-site here. If you spend over 30,000 krw, you can enjoy the tax refund service as long as you present your passport. Other regulations of tax refunds are as same as Seoul. Please refer to the blog on the right for more information about tax refund in Korea~
Let's get in to explore the Lotte Mart in Nampo-dong, Busan!
The chips above is a recent big hit on Instagram in Korea. Although the price is a little bit pricey but it is a big serve!!! It must be satisfying.
Spotted! Whenever you see this "ONLY price" logo, the cost of per 10g comes together.
You can evaluate to see whether it's a great deal or not very initially.
Daily necessities, snacks, etc. can also be found at Lotte Mart in Busan Nampo Station.
I don’t know if everyone has the same idea as I do, I feel that this branch in Busan is different from the largest Lotte Mart in Seoul station. This seems like with more products (?)
Probably it's just because there are not so many people in the Lotte Mart in Nampo Station, and the things are scattered so that it feels like having more products here.
If you are worried that you can't take it home because of the African Asfarviridae, you have to eat it at the B&B or hotel after you buy it.
Recently, the brand of spicy fried chicken noodles has also launched the Light flavour, have you tried it yet? Although it is "light" but everyone should not take it lightly of the spiciness.
This Real cheese ramen is also on my favourite list, with a rich creamy cheese sauce and hot noodles, giving you an invincible sense of happiness.
Which kind of chips do you like most? Compared to the popular big brands, I sometimes will deliberately find a lesser-known brand which often has unexpected gains.
Of course, I would not miss out the classic Kkobuk chip Sumi chip as well ;))
The cookie and biscuit above is the favourite of Creatrip team Especially the bottom one, 엄마손(Mom's hand, Lotte ummason pie)!
This new product of Market O is very interesting as the texture is unique, spongy but dense.
Below is the must-buy nuts of Korea. This package is easy to share as souvenir to a group of friends.
Could sauce and seasoning products extend the authentic taste of your trip in Korea?
It is no more the empire of Jinro in Busan. It is Good Day(좋은 데이)which takes the most market share as you can see if you go drinking in Busan.
Last but not least, the cancellation of self-packing that everyone is worried about, which is still remaining in Lotte Mart, Nampo-dong. UNTIL 2020/01/01 though!
Another FAQ is about storage which the answer is a yes for Lotte Mart Nampo-dong. Please note that there is a time limitation of use.
The locker serves from 10:30~23:00 without charge for the FIRST 3 hrs ONLY. Please inquire of the over-time charge on-site because there was no instruction on the amount of money when we went visit.
