Gangneung Agricultural Products Dawn Market

The Agricultural Products Dawn Market, where you can purchase seasonal ingredients at low prices and experience a different side of Gangneung Market, is a marketplace for direct transactions of agricultural products produced in the Gangneung area. It operates regularly from 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. The market is set up on the banks of the Namdaecheon Stream, which flows from west to east, and in April, cherry blossom petals scatter from the cherry trees along the embankment road, offering a place to escape the city's congestion and feel at ease.

The Agricultural Products Dawn Market uses a real-name sales system for crops grown and tended by farmers themselves. Prices are not fixed but are determined through bargaining between sellers and buyers, with discounts or extra items added, making shopping here enjoyable. Freshly made hot tofu and soft tofu, prepared each morning, are the most popular items at the market. Common agricultural products found at the dawn market include potatoes, corn, peaches, green chili peppers, zucchini, and cucumbers.
