Opened in 1937, this expansive market features a variety of items across its five sections.

The arcade-style roof allows for comfortable exploration in any weather or season. The Food Alley offers an irresistible selection of local delicacies, making it hard to choose from options like gimbap, banquet noodles, and bulgogi.
