Sangdong Market

Sangdong Market in Sang-dong, Suseong-gu, Daegu is a small market that began as the Sangdong Super Shopping Center. It flourished until the 1998 IMF crisis, but declined gradually through the IMF crisis, and today only roadside shops remain to attest that it was once a market. Although apartment complexes are densely packed nearby, the market's commercial district is hardly recovering. Inside the market, a few restaurants serving dwaeji gukbap (pork soup with rice) and baekban (set meals) remain, showing that this place was once a market. Sangdong Market is famous for dwaeji gukbap and kongguksu (cold soybean noodle soup).
