Paldalmun Market

팔달문시장 · Gyeonggi · Traditional markets

There are 9 traditional markets around Suwon's South Gate. Among them, in Paldalmun Market, there is a whole chicken street that stretches for about 400m, so many people visit it. The old-fashioned way of frying the whole chicken in a large cauldron and the unique seasoning preserve its flavor. After visiting other connected markets, you can complete your Suwon tour by walking through the Hwaseong Fortress, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
