The street of roasted whole chicken in Paldalmun market

 Paldalmun market has a famous street in it, which was broadcast by Korean three main broadcasting companies.  It is the street of roasted whole chicken. If you pass through market entrance, you can smell a spicy fragrance and it makes your mouth water :-P

The chicken made in the street is different from other chickens, because it is fried in a caldron. The staffs are busy frying delicious chickens. Can you feel the heat?

Korean might recall their childhood when they see this chicken. In the past, the father came home from his work with chicken wrapped papers, and then his family sat around and ate it. They felt happy just with a chicken. We guess lots of people can recall their memory as well as enjoy the taste in consideration of the fact that average 1,500 chickens are sold in the market these days.

Do you wanna enjoy Korean style chicken? 

If you so, Visit Paldalmun market, SUWON :)

Paldalmun Market, Suwon

If you visit Suwon, you can experience lots of things made by King Jungjo in the Joseon Dynasty. Especially, the Paldalmun is very beautiful, which seems to be carved a glorious history on each stone. 

King Jungjo made a market in Paldalmun, a south gate of Hwaseong Fortress, to realize a dream of prosperity and military power by developing commerce at that time. So, we can guess that Paldalmun market is so valuable place. 

He called vendors together and they assemble at the market. The vendors were mercantilists who thought Joseon Dynasty can get national prosperity and military power through commerce and industry.

As you know, Paldalmun market is the oldest market in Suwon. You don’t need to worry that the market is decrepit or the products go out of fashion because of long history.

There are around 250 shops in the market, and a lot of tourists visit here since the market was selected as a culture tourism oriented traditional market in 2011. The surprising thing is that there are many clothing stores in the market like Dongdaemun, Seoul. You can buy clothes, shoes and accessories at a low price.

Paldalmun market, where the King Jungjo’s political, economic and social achievements are alive,  will give you a special memory :-)
