Travel snapshot – LOTTE department store Gwangbok, Busan

This is a snapshot on the new landmark of Gwangbok shopping region in Busan, namely the LOTTE Town. First opened in December 2009 is the LOTTE department store Gwangbok featuring the world’s largest Aquatic Show. The LOTTE Town also includes Lotte Mart and Cinema, and under construction high-rise building with more than 108 storeys.

Being the first seaside department store in Korea, it prides itself not only for its heaven-blessed natural environment but also as the largest youth-oriented shopping complex and cultural space in Busan. It has become a representative department store in Busan, welcoming not only the people from Korea but also foreign visitors as well.

LOTTE department store Gwangbok is located at 20-1, 7-ga, Jungang-dong, Jung-gu, Busan Metropolitan City, or opposite the end of Gwangbok shopping street.. Measuring 12,250 m² of stores area, which includes 10 stories above ground and six underground levels, LOTTE department store Gwangbok features the world’s largest indoor Aquatic show playing at every hour.

Coming up next is the video of Aquatic Show which I recorded when I was in the departmental store.
