Hadong Public Market
Korean name하동공설시장
Machine-translated from Korean. Show original
Hadong embraces mountains, sea, and rivers, so it has been rich in goods since ancient times. In the Hadong area, a market naturally formed as people exchanged goods where Gyeongsang-do and Jeolla-do meet along the Seomjin River. The town market, which also inspired the novel 'Toji', was passed down through the ages and became Hadong Public Market. Hadong Public Market was officially established in 1977. After the 2000s, it fell into a slump due to large marts and department stores, but according to the will of the residents, it is now transforming into a tourism-oriented market. It is close to Ssanggyesa Temple, Hadong Songnim Park, Pyeongsari Choi Champan's House, Buril Falls, and others, making it good for linked tourism.
