DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Check whether today is a 2-or-7 market date
The five-day market expands on the 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th. Permanent shops can trade on other days, but visiting vendors, stock and crowd level are date-dependent.
02
Confirm the product and total before paying
Ask the unit, weight, origin, preparation, price and payment method. Produce, mushrooms, beef products, snacks and household goods remain merchant-specific stock.
03
Check ingredients and save the entrance
Ask about meat, fish sauce, shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame, nuts and shared equipment. Keep delivery lanes clear and return by the same market entrance.
Is Bonghwa Market closed on dates other than 2 and 7?
Not necessarily. The five-day market expands on those dates, while permanent shops keep independent schedules.
Can I rely on card payment at every stall?
No. Payment and receipt options are controlled by each seller; confirm before ordering or packing goods.
Are the operating details for Bonghwa Market live?
The displayed guidance was checked September 1, 2026, but it is not a live operator feed. Open the linked official guide and a Korean map again on the day because hours, closures, tickets and transport can change.
Can a traveller correct this page?
Yes. Submit a sourced community wiki correction or a current field report; proposed facts are reviewed before becoming canonical information.

01
Before travel
Check whether today is a 2-or-7 market date
The five-day market expands on the 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th. Permanent shops can trade on other days, but visiting vendors, stock and crowd level are date-dependent.

Check ingredients and save the entrance
Ask about meat, fish sauce, shellfish, wheat, soy, sesame, nuts and shared equipment. Keep delivery lanes clear and return by the same market entrance.
4. Traveler tips
Arrive in active morning or daytime on a market date; a listed date does not mean every trader stays until evening.
Ask permission before photographing a vendor, customer, price board or close-up preparation.
For mushrooms and dried goods, confirm origin, grade, weight and whether the price is per pack or per unit.
Search “봉화시장 신시장1길 4” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the exact entrance and return route.
Vendors set their own hours, prices and payment methods; read the current menu and confirm the total before ordering.
The audited coordinate identifies the named destination, but the final gate, parking area and step-free entrance still need a live route check.
