Hwacheon Market

Hwacheon is famous for Sancheonoe and Jjokbae Water Festival. Recently, after an popular TV show introduced Korean famous author, Oisoo Lee, lives in Hwachoen, it is quickly gaining popularity among travelers. If you visit Hwacheon, we recommend you to visit attractive Hwacheon Market, too :-)

The characteristic of the market is the youth. Unlike other markets, the main target of this market is young soldiers because lots of them live in Hwacheon.

This is the inside of a restaurant. You can see many soldiers have meals! If you visit here from Friday to Sunday, you can see the market crowded with soldiers.

Also, many travelers visit the market because there is a terminal bus station near the market! If someone participates in one of festivals in Hwacheon, he or she would get a gift card of 50% admissions he already paid. The gift card can be used in restaurants or markets!

The market has lots of agricultural products, foods, cultures and flea markets. Especially, I recommend you to eat buckwheat pancakes and Tadpole noodles :-)
