Hadong Hwagae Market

Korean name하동 화개장터

Official translation by the Korea Tourism Organization Show original

Hadong Hwagae Market, a traditional market formed at the confluence of the Seomjingang River and Hwagae Stream, served as a marketplace where people from the Yeongnam and Honam regions met and exchanged goods. Although it declined for a time due to changes in transportation and distribution environments, it reopened in 2001 with the construction of traditional market stalls and a specialized green tea shopping area. Currently, it operates as a permanent market that can be visited without having to adhere to specific five-day market dates. Visitors can browse a diverse range of items, including chestnuts, wild herbs, agricultural products, and medicinal herbs, and discover local foods and specialties while strolling among the stalls. Since operating hours and days off vary by shop, it is advisable to check the operating status of the specific store you intend to visit.
