Daejeon Jungang Market, formed with the opening of Daejeon Station on the Gyeongbu Line in 1905, is the largest traditional market in the central region, boasting over 100 years of history. Starting as a fish and vegetable market during the Japanese colonial period, it grew into the center of commerce for Chungcheong, Yeongnam, and Honam as refugees gathered after the Korean War. The market consists of various theme streets, including a food alley, fish alley, oriental medicine street, and hanbok street.
The Jungang Shopping Tower specializing in wedding supplies and the Youth Mall gathered with unique shops of young merchants breathe new vitality into the market. Recently, the night market 'Donggu-Ya Nolja' opens, offering a variety of enjoyment even at night, and welcomes visitors as a vibrant attraction where the history and present of Daejeon coexist.
