  • Andong Jungang New Market (days ending in 2 and 7) (안동 중앙신시장(2, 7일))

Explanation

This is the largest traditional market in the northern Gyeongsangbuk-do area. The market also hosts a fifth-day market (opening every fifth day), so one can also see sellers peddling their wares from roadside stalls on certain days. Andong Jungang New Market plays an important role in food distribution across Andong and Gyeongsangbuk-do. Because of that, one can also find many stores specializing in salted mackerel, a specialty of Andong. On days when the fifth-day market is open, there are more vendors selling their wares in the market, giving it a more authentic Korean feel. The market is always bustling so it’s a great pleace for people-watching as well.
