A marketplace like a banquet house, Wonju 5-Day Market

- Pyeongwon-dong, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do
The 5-day market in Wonju, which has been the foundation of Gangwon-do for a long time, is held at the Folk Flea Market located along the Wonju Stream. Every 2nd or 7th, the triangular Folk Folk Flea Market, which stretches from Wonjugyo Bridge to Bongpyeonggyo Bridge, is crowded with merchants bringing spring-colored goods. Wonju 5-day Market is also a paradise for food. Sonmandu made by an aunt who has been making and selling dumplings at the Wonju Five-Day Market for 40 years, three brothers who have been going to the market for nearly 20 years since their mother’s time, buckwheat pancakes from Jeongseon’s grandmother on a hot iron plate, and tteokgalbi made with finely ground pork. These are the foods you just can’t miss. This is the reason why the oil market feels like a banquet house where a feast was held. In Wonju, there are places where you can enjoy both sights and experiences, such as Wonju Hanji Theme Park, Park Gyeong-ri Literature Park, and Wonju History Museum. If you want to be colored by cherry blossoms in April, visit Yonsei University Wonju Campus.
