This accessible traditional market is located less than 1 kilometer away from KTX Suncheon Station. It is open at night as a night market as well, so the market is beloved by visitors and locals alike. The market is a fifth-day market (open on the 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd, 27th), and it is the largest of its kind in Korea. The market serves fresh agricultural and fishery goods from Suncheon and the surrounding areas (Beolgyeo, Yeosu, etc.). Aretjang Market’s pride, the night market, is open on Fridays and Saturdays, and serves everything from small snacks to pancakes, fried chicken, and more exotic fare.

With a 50-year history, Yeosu Fish Market, the largest of Yeosu’s three major seafood markets, retains the familiar charm of a traditional market while offering a pleasant, modernized setting with renovation work completed in 2011. The market epitomizes both tradition and modernity. Here, visitors can find fish species rarely seen in capital-area markets such as snailfish (Mulmegi), rockfish (Bollak), and Spanish mackerel for sashimi—all at affordable prices. The market is divided into three main sections of live fish, dried seafood, and food items. The live fish section uses clean seawater drawn from a dedicated seawater pipeline 400 meters deep, ensuring the freshness of its offerings. The dried seafood section features products processed and sun-dried in sea breeze at an on-site facility located on the market’s rooftop. In the food item section, visitors can purchase local specialties such as Yeosu-style gat kimchi and salted seafood. The night market features a variety of fresh seafood-based street foods, attracting crowds. Since the launch of the Viking Night Market in 2016, the area has become even livelier, packed with attractions to see and enjoy.
