Jeju Dongmun Traditional Market

동문재래시장

Jeju's largest and oldest market, trading on this block since 1945. Produce, seafood and dried fish fill the daytime aisles, with tangerines and omegi-tteok rice cakes worked in between them. In the evening a separate night market opens by gate 8 and closes when the ingredients run out. There are twelve entrances, so agreeing a gate number is the difference between meeting someone here and not.

Language

Gate 7 of Jeju Dongmun Market, the market's name and the gate number on the arch above the entrance, with crates of tangerines stacked at a stall in front of it.

Stories about this place

One day in Jeju City — the hours are published, but they do not belong to the places
Woojin Haejangguk, Dongmun Market, Halla Arboretum and Sinseoloreum all publish opening hours. At all four, the clock belongs to something smaller than the place: one is the main building only, one is an average across stalls, one covers the indoor halls alone, and one runs past midnight in a shape this site's data cannot yet hold.
