Maepo Traditional Market | Market Guide | K-Travel Mate

Maepo Pyeongdong Market is a typical traditional market held on the 4th and 9th of each month in Maepo-eup. It is a market where you can purchase agricultural products such as Danyang yukjjok garlic, various wild vegetables and vegetables filled with grandmother's devotion, glutinous corn, potatoes, and medicinal herbs. On the regular market days, where the sorrows and joys of rural women’s wrinkles are traded and neighbors share greetings and affection, the popping sounds of puffed rice sellers and the savory scent of popped rice fill the air, the scent of sesame oil pressing drifts from the oil shops, a drunken grandfather’s singing livens up the atmosphere, and the generous hospitality of the sundae (Korean blood sausage) grandmother adds to the charm—truly an authentic market. Within the 3,818㎡ market area, there are 50 stalls, and the market operates not only on market days but also regularly. Nearby attractions include Pops World Dajagu Halmine, Bukbyeok, Namcheon Valley, Seokmun, Geumsusan, Yangbangsan Observatory, Soseonam Natural Recreation Forest, Danyang Silla Jeokseongbi, and Sobaeksan Garijeom Village.
