Hwasun Dolmen Traditional Market

Hwaseon Market is the largest traditional five-day market in Hwaseon. It is believed to have been established in Hwaseon-eup during the Japanese colonial period. Considering that the March 1st Movement in 1919 was planned on the streets of the market but ultimately failed, it appears to have opened sometime between the late Joseon Dynasty and the early years of the Japanese colonial period. Until the year 2000, it operated as a three-day market, but as the market's structure gradually changed, it transformed into a five-day market that opens on the 3rd and 8th of each month in the early 2000s. Subsequently, a market modernization project was undertaken to improve the market facilities and surrounding environment. Within the market, a space resembling a rural marketplace was created, allowing farmers to bring and sell agricultural products they cultivated directly. Depending on the season, various seasonal goods are available, and stalls selling seafood, earthenware, vegetables, livestock, and other items are clustered together, making it an enjoyable experience to browse the market.
