Tongyeong Jungang Market (통영 중앙시장)
With almost 400 years
of history, Tongyeong Jungang Market is a
popular tourist spot in the city of Tongyeong, attracting tourists during weekends
and even on weekdays.
The market is located next to Dongpirang Village.
In front of the market is Gangguan Port where
a turtle ship (geobukseon) and fishing boats are docked. The
spacious cultural venue called Munhwa Madang is quite reminiscent of Byeongseon Madang,
a place for anchoring or mooring warships in the past.
As the market is located close to the coastline, fresh fish and dried fish make
up a huge part of the market's offerings. Here, visitors can also find
mother-of-pearl inlaid wares, quilted products, and rice cakes.
