Guryongpo Fifth-Day Market (구룡포장 (3, 8일))

Guryongpo Market area expands all the way to Changjucheon Stream area every fifth-day market day, bustling with crowds of merchants and customers. Guryongpo Fifth-Day Market is held on the 3rd, 8th, 13th, 23rd, and 28th of every month. The market first started when a small village was formed around Guryongpo Port. In the 1950s and '60s, when Guryongpo was incorporated into the county of Yeongil, Guryongpo Market flourished because it became the main market of Yeongil.

Nowadays, thanks to the rows of seafood restaurants inside, the market became even more popular among seafood lovers. The market carries a wide variety of fresh vegetables and produce, herbs, grains, and regional specialties. The seafood at the market is delivered fresh from Guryongpo Port. The squid at Guryongpo Port, which is also the specialty of the market, makes up about 70% of the total catch in Gyeongsangbuk-do. The market is also frequently visited by seafood gourmets for its squid.
