Waegwan Market
About the Market that Opens Every 5 Days
Waegwan-eup, where Waegwan Market is located, is the home of the country’s defenders, and is the last line of defense (Walker Line, Nakdong River Bridgehead). It was built around the Nakdong River to wage heavy battles against the enemy, thus becoming the center of the Korean War. Traces of the battle still remain today. Waegwan Market was established in 1981. It is surrounded by many historical sites, and various native special products are sold there. In particular, beef, Geumnam cucumbers, and honeydew melons have become famous there. The market is always open, but it is also open for vital businesses every five days. In particular, there are so many different products on sale when the market opens every five days. Visitors from nearby large cities (like Daegu and Gumi) purchase various native specialties and products, see nearby tourist destinations, and try Waegwan's signature foods, such as Boyangtang and grilled beef, especially the nationally famous Sundae Gukbap, to complete their pleasant journey here.
