Andong Market / Andong Gu Market (안동장 / 안동구시장(2, 7일))

Introduction

In the 1830s, there were many fifth-day markets in Andong, operating in different neighborhoods on different days. Among these many markets, the market opening on days ending in 2 and 7 at Bunae saw great success in 1909, selling a range of products from fresh produce to livestock, fish, and local specialties such as ramie cloth and Andong soju. It was combined with the Sindang Market in 1963 to become a permanent market when Andong was upgraded from a county to a city. Because of it's long history, this market is also referred to as Andong Gu Market (Old Market), and it is the best place to visit to experience all that a traditional Korean market has to offer.
