The neighborhood around Paldalmun Gate serves as the main business district of Suwon, where more than 300 stores and stalls are joined to make a large market. The atmosphere and the physical surroundings help to both keep traditions alive and move into the modern age, which is one of the main aspects of this market that draws in more visitors each year. Since 1917 when the market first opened to the public, the vendors here have specialized in traditional garments, including hanbok (traditional Korean clothes) and accessories. Among 300 stores, 40 stores feature finished hanbok, another 40 stores sell fabric, 70 stores are general clothing store, and the remaining stores sell daily goods, accessories, agricultural and stockbreeding products. In the past, the market was the largest market south of the metropolitan area so people from Suwon, Pyeongtaek, Hwaseong, and Osan frequently visited.

At Nostalgic Dalgona, visitors can make and eat dalgona, a snack that has become world-famous as it frequently appears in Korean content such as drama series like Netflix's Squid Game and entertainment shows. The recipe requires using a ladle and heat to dissolve sugar mixed with a small amount of baking soda. Once dissolved, pour out the caramel-like mix onto a tray, then stamp the surface with a cookie cutter of a preferred shape, such as heart, animal figure, or umbrella. The process of tearing off the edges along the pattern like from the scene in Squid Game can be quite a challenge and fun at the same time.
