Seongju Traditional Market (성주 전통시장)

Seongju Traditional Market is open for business on five-day intervals-every 5 days starting from the 2nd of each month-centered on local specialties, especially Chamoe (Korean melon). Naturally emerged in the 1800s, it was formally established in 1887 and thrived during the 1960s. Today, it is recognized as one of the oldest markets in the region. Open from early morning until sunset, it offers seasonal wild greens such as Dureup (fatsia shoot) and Chwinamul (aster leaf), the famously sweet Seongju Korean melon, and other local produce at fair prices.
