Okcheonjang

Okcheon Market is a five-day market held on the 5th and 10th of every month around Geumgu Stream, Geumguri, Okcheon-eup. It was held in the old town (Sanggye-ri, Hagye-ri), but due to the development of transportation, a market was formed in the Geumguri-tuk area, and the regular market was moved to the current market in 1937.
It is thriving, with 200 regular stores and 350 mobile merchants. In the past, Okcheonjang was a traditional market where residents of nearby Dongi, Annam, Naejeong, Gunseo, and Gunbuk would load various agricultural products on buses and sell them at Okcheonjang on market days to purchase daily necessities. However, now various fruits and vegetables are the main products, and due to the development of transportation in all directions, including Seoul and Busan and nearby Geumsan, Daejeon, and Boeun, the distance from Daejeon is only about 15 minutes by bus, highlighting the characteristics of a traditional market adjacent to a large city. This place has been introduced in various TV programs, and the number of tourists is gradually increasing.
