Cheongdo Market | Market Guide | K-Travel Mate

Cheongdo Market has been the center of commerce in the Cheongdo area since its opening in 1912, and around 1991, the market buildings were newly renovated. Between 2005 and 2006, an arcade facility was completed within the market, and from 2013 to 2015, the market buildings were refurbished to modern facilities. The market operates on days ending with 4 and 9 each month, from early morning until 6 PM. Here, various daily necessities and agricultural products produced nearby are traded, making it busy from dawn until dusk. Especially, middlemen from across the country, including Busan and Daegu, gather at the early dawn lightning market to collect wild greens, medicinal herbs, and fruits produced in clean Cheongdo, creating a great boom. Local specialties include Cheongdo Bansi persimmon, dried persimmon strips, semi-dried persimmons, Cheongdo peaches, Yuho King strawberries, glutinous barley rice, and Hanjae clean water parsley.
