Exciting and Exciting Traditional Market, Anseong 5-Day Market

One of the places where you can feel the atmosphere of a traditional market in the metropolitan area is the 5-day market in Anseong, Gyeonggi-do. On days that end in 2 or 7, they form a Y-shape around Anseong Jungang Market. Anjangjang was so big that he was called one of the three great generals of the Joseon Dynasty along with Daegujang and Jeonjujang during the Joseon Dynasty. There was even a saying that ‘Ahn Jang-jang produces two or three more things than Seoul Jang-jang’. There is a record that the scale of Anjangjang is larger than that of Ihyeon Market or Chilpae Market in Seoul, and that there are many paintings and thieves. The market starts in earnest at 10:00 am. You have to come to the market by 9:00 to see the vendors preparing the stalls. The market is noisy from the beginning. There are stalls lined with herbs, vegetables, and greens such as horseradish, shoots, mushrooms, deodeok, lettuce, cucumbers, and potatoes. The fish exhibition also occupies a corner. Fish such as mackerel, cutlassfish, and squid, and the smell of spring lingers in the stalls filled with shellfish. Since ancient times, Anseongjang has been famous as a cattle market for buying and selling cattle. After eating a bowl of spicy and spicy soup at a restaurant on one side of the market, your body, which is languid with spring energy, is energized as if you had taken a pack of restorative medicine. You can enjoy a fruitful spring trip if you plan your itinerary with Anseong Machum Museum where you can see ‘yugi’ represented by ‘Anseong Machum’, Namsadang Performance Hall where you can watch exciting Namsadang Nori, and Gosam Reservoir where the morning mist is lyrical.
