Gwangmyeong Market can trace its origins back to the early 1970s as a small five-day market, meaning it opened once every five days. Now with more than 350 stalls and stores, Gwangmyeong Market is the most famous of Gyeonggi-do’s three major traditional markets. Through large scale remodeling, the market has become a pleasant and convenient place to shop, not unlike more modern grocery stores.
