시장 A Korean Traditional Market

시장 (Sijang) 

This may be one of my favorite places in all of Korea.

 Sijang means market. It is an indoor/outdoor vendor after vendor experience. Here you can purchase produce, grains, fish and crustaceans from nearby farms. Here you can buy clothing, rice cakes, sweets and shoes. Here you can embrace the essence of Korea through its products and people.
