Jeongseon Arirang Market
📍 정선읍, Jeongseon
Jeongseon Arirang Market is Jeongseon's leading traditional market, named after the folk song "Jeongseon Arirang." It's become far better known to travelers since the Jeongseon Arirang Train began running.
Shops selling local produce like hwanggi, deodeok (bellflower root), garlic, and potatoes, along with a variety of wild greens and medicinal herbs, line every alley. A five-day market sets up on dates ending in 2 and 7, making it a great time to browse foods like surichwi rice cake and buckwheat pancakes.
