About

Boasting a history of over 400 years, Tongyeong Jungang Market is a historic market that has continued since the Samdosuguntongjeyeong era of the Joseon period. Located in the center of Tongyeong, it welcomes visitors with its specialized streets for live and fresh fish, full of freshly caught seafood from Tongyeong Port, as well as streets for various seafood side dishes and dried seafood. The street where you can taste Tongyeong's specialties, Kkulppang and Chungmu Gimbap, is also not to be missed.

Right in front of the market is Gangguan Munhwamadang where the Turtle ship is exhibited, and on the hill behind is Dongpirang Byeokhwama-eul, making it great to explore together and fully enjoy the atmosphere of Tongyeong. It is a representative attraction of Tongyeong where history, gastronomy, and culture harmonize.
