Jinju Jungang Market

Jinju Jungang Market, opened in 1884, is a traditional market with a 140-year history originating from the Jinju Sangmusa, and was selected as a culture and tourism market in 2011. It has established itself as the center of logistics, economy, and culture in Jinju, and operates divided into three zones under a 980m retractable arcade: hanbok and fabric shops, a food alley, and agricultural and fishery products. A dawn market where vegetable and fish auctions are held from 2 a.m. also operates alongside it, trading the abundant agricultural products of Jirisan and the fresh seafood of the southern coast. On the second floor of Jungang Market is the Silkkil Youth Mall run by young merchants, offering spaces with a youthful sensibility such as cafes, restaurants, and craft workshops, and every Saturday the beer festival Hope 1884 is held. Nongae Market, connected under the same roof, is a historic traditional market opened in 1962 that was originally called Jangdae Market before being renamed Nongae Market. It is located where the west side of Jungang Market meets the north side of the Cheonggwa Market, and features Noodle Road specializing in noodle dishes and various food alleys. At the two connected markets, visitors can enjoy Jinju's representative foods such as yukjeon, Jinju bibimbap, and bunsik in one place, making it a space loved by both travelers and local residents.
