[TalkTalk Market] Moraenae market

Of all the places named Moraenae in the country, a stream in JeonjuCity’s Inhu-dong in North JeollaProvince points to JeonjuCity’s Moraenae.

As a tributary of JeonjuStream starting in Girinbong, it passes through Inhu-dong and Nosong-dong and meets the JeonjuStream in Jinbuk-dong.

 

 

 

Moraenae gets its name from the heavy build up of sediment and morae, or sand, of the meandering stream. Most of the stream has been paved over into roads, and the surrounding area is commonly called Moraenae.

 

 

 

This is exactly where the Jeonju Moraenae Market is located. The Jeonju Moraenae Market was established in 1974. At the time, a small group of traders met and started commercial activity, and the market began with people mostly selling produce from street stalls. Currently it is recognized as a medium-sized market with over 300 stores. Including the merchants who operate street stalls, it is home to about 500 people.
