When visiting other countries, many people include a trip to traditional markets in their itineraries. That’s because you can not only find products that represent the country and the region but can also easily glimpse the lifestyles of local residents.
Pyeongtaek city has a number of traditional markets you can visit. Traditional markets in Korea sell street foods that visitors can snack on, as well as a variety of ingredients, household items, etc. Many people like to visit the traditional markets, as they can buy fresh ingredients at low costs.
Today’s featured market is the Paengseong Market near Camp Humphreys. The Paengseong Market is a five-day market that opens on dates that end by 3 or 8 (3, 8, 13, 18, 23, 28) of every month. There are more ingredients and products available for purchase on the five-day market, than the regular-day market. According to many articles, more foreigners would like to visit traditional markets regularly if there was no communication issue.
The Pyeongtaek International Exchange Foundation operates supporters who can offer interpretation services! The supporters will walk around the market and offer interpretation services to foreigners and vendors from 10:30 am in the morning to 2:30 pm. If there is something you want to buy or need some help, ask Korean supporters for a help. They will be happy to help you out!
