Paldalmun Market

Paldalmun Market, along with Yeongdong Market, is known as a 'market created by a king.' It is said that King Jeongjo, the 22nd ruler of the Joseon Dynasty, brought the descendants of Gosan Yun Seon-do, who had been engaged in trade in Haenam, Jeolla Province, to Suwon, and then merchants from across the country began to pay attention to Suwon, leading to the formation of the market. Thus, Paldalmun Market, which began with the history of Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon, is a traditional market that continues to thrive around Paldalmun Gate in accordance with King Jeongjo's intention to establish Suwon as a center of commerce and economy. The market is divided into Fried Chicken Street and Furniture Street starting from Maehyanggyo Bridge, as well as Fashion Street located within the shopping complex, and various street foods welcome visitors. Additionally, it operates a market merchant broadcasting station, which has received great response. In particular, Fashion Street, where you can shop for a variety of clothing from children to middle-aged and older adults, has many young, trendy boutique clothing stores, allowing you to enjoy shopping as if strolling around.
