At Jumunjin Fish Market, one of the best in the Yeongdong region, you can meet the lively lives of fishermen and fresh seafood from the East Sea. Watching the rising red sun, the fishing boats returning to the port are full of seasonal fish such as puffer fish, mackerel fish, squid, dochi, halibut, and cod. The fish goes through an auction and disappears in an instant, and they wait for customers scattered in a melee with raw fish restaurants. The taste of haggling in a melee is also very good. If you speak well, you can get squid and sea squirt as a bonus. Don’t miss Jumunjin Seonghwangdang and Jumunjin Lighthouse located on the hill of Jumunjin Port. The view of Jumunjin Port and the open sea from here is exquisite. After touring the Jumunjin Fish Market, let’s also visit Gangneung’s attractions such as Heo Gyun and Heonanseolheon Memorial Park, Charmsori Gramophone and Edison Science Museum, Haslla Art World, and Deungmyeong Nakgasa Temple.
