Chungju Pungmul Market

A regular traditional market held every 5 days in the Chungui-dong area of Chungju, Chungcheongbuk-do. As part of the Pungmul Market, a permanent market of about 600 shops operates on weekdays, and every 5 days a traditional five-day market joins in, offering a rich variety of shops, food and sights. It is held on the 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th and 30th of each month along the Gyohyeoncheon stream near Chungju Public Market and Chungju Muhak Market. The site stretches about 500 m along the stream. In the 1960s, street vendors settled around Yeseong Park in Gyohyeon-dong, where transport was convenient and access easy for citizens, and the five-day market naturally formed. In March 2001, Chungju City forcibly relocated the vendors from Yeseong Park to the current site, establishing the Pungmul Market.
