Hampyeong Market | Market Guide | K-Travel Mate

Jeonnam Hampyeong Market has been a famous marketplace since ancient times. It is also called the 'Hampyeong Big Cattle Market,' a nickname given because the cattle market in Hampyeong is large. There are many cattle transactions at the Hampyeong cattle market. On market days at the Hampyeong cattle market, an average of about 700 cattle are bought and sold. There is even a saying, 'The big Hampyeong cattle market determines cattle prices in Jeonnam.' In the past, Hampyeong's market was a bustling place filled with merchants, middlemen, and spectators from various neighboring counties. However, except for the cattle market and a few other items, most traditional products have disappeared, replaced by modernized and improved goods, causing the old market appearance to fade away.
