About

Suwon Nammun Market is a historic market with over 220 years of history, created by Jeongjodaewang of Joseon along with the construction of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress to foster a commercial city. Centered around Paldalmun Gate, 9 unique markets have united to boast the largest scale in Gyeonggi-do, and it is also known as the only market made by a king. It is fun to look around markets with different characteristics, such as Jidong Market famous for its Sundae Town, Yeongdong Market which has hanbok and a youth mall, and Motgol Comprehensive Market which recreates a Joseon-era market street.

In the evening, the Jidonggyo food trailer zone and the fried chicken street near Paldalmun Gate come alive and offer a variety of food. It is also full of special enjoyment, such as gold leaf experiences and merchant radio broadcasts.
