Boseong Market
Opened in 1955, Boseong Market was chosen as a "Cultural Tourism
Market" in 2009 since it was located near natural tourist attractions such
as green tea fields and Mt. Jeamsan. Most of all, it is located in Boseong, the cultural
hometown of world famous pansori (Korean traditional
vocal and percussional music performance).
Local agricultural products as well as seafood caught from Deukryang Gulf are traded in
the market, such as shallot, potato, kiwi, strawberry, green tea, linen, kkomak (ark shell clam) and
nokdon (green tea-fed
pork).
Boseong Market has linked local specialty shops with places of
interest such as green tea fields, Yulpo beach, Beolgyo (the setting of Korea's one of the greatest novels
"Taebaeksanmaek"), Mt. Ilimsan (the habitat of
royal azalea), Mt. Jeamsan Recreational Forest,
and Daewonsa buddhist temple, etc.
Furthermore, the market established concert stages and experiential learning
activities to add more flavor.
