Where the sea meets the market:
Pohang Jukdo Market
When you want to experience the freshness of the East Sea, how about visiting Pohang Jukdo Market?
Here, the sea and the market come together, offering a deep dive into the local atmosphere.
1. Basic Information
Jukdo Market began about 50 years ago in a reed field and wetland near the port. It has now grown into one of the leading traditional markets on the East Sea coast.
Jukdo Market offers a wide range of products, including fresh seafood, dried seafood, agricultural products, and household goods.
Operating hours are approximately from 08:00 to 17:00, but closing times vary from store to store.
2. How to Get There
From downtown Pohang, the Pohang Bus Terminal, or Pohang Station, you can take a bus or taxi to the Buk-gu Jukdo-dong area. It takes about 10 to 20 minutes to reach the market.
There is a public parking lot at 4-11, Haedong-ro 167beon-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, but on weekends, traffic congestion is common near the market, making Jukdo Market a popular spot in Pohang.
3. What's the Vibe?
The alleys of Jukdo Market are a vibrant scene of daily life.
The sounds of live fish moving in tanks, merchants shouting, and customers coming and going blend together, filling the air with the scent of the sea and the local atmosphere of Pohang.
The narrow alleys and diverse shops create a bustling traditional market atmosphere.
Being close to the sea, there are many raw fish restaurants in the market where you can enjoy seasonal fresh seafood.
4. Prices? What to Eat?
Seafood prices vary depending on the type, season, and weight, but since it is near the East Sea port, many Korean dried seafood products are available.
Consider buying dried seafood such as shrimp and anchovies, which are essential for a refreshing taste in cooking, as souvenirs.
5. Wow! Such Charm...
Jukdo Market is a place where "sea + market + people" come together, allowing you to experience the essence of Pohang.
If you are planning a trip to Pohang, I hope you will find delicious food and souvenirs in the lively Jukdo Market.
