Introduction

Geumsangeumbit Market (2nd and 7th), also known as Geumsanjang, is a traditional market located in the center of Geumsan-gun. Geumsan is a historic ginseng region where ginseng has been cultivated since the Baekje era over 1,500 years ago, with about 80% of the nation's ginseng production traded here. Although traditional markets typically form every five days, the concept is less fixed in Geumsan due to active ginseng trading, resulting in a daily ginseng market. Visitors can purchase ginseng and medicinal herbs at producer prices anytime, making the market very popular. Broadly, this market includes the old market area, Geumsan International Ginseng Market located near the entrance to the road toward Muju Gucheon-dong, a shopping center, and the Geumsan Ginseng Herbal Medicine Market. Additionally, agricultural products and medicinal herbs from mountainous areas such as Geumsan, Muju, and Jinan are available, allowing visitors to enjoy the rustic atmosphere of a country market.
