    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Choose the A or B building and the actual merchant

      Ganghwa Central Market is a local multi-store building, not Ganghwa Pungmul Market and not one tourist food hall. Save the exact shop, floor and entrance when a specific purchase matters.

    2. 02
      Check price, payment and stock before purchase

      No market-wide opening or closed day is published in the current public record. Groceries, clothing, services, cafés and offices keep independent schedules and return rules.

    3. 03
      Confirm the complete transaction

      Ask for unit, weight, preparation, allergens, origin, refrigeration, card acceptance and any delivery or parking validation before the merchant begins work.

    3. Visit flow

    1. 01
      Before shopping

      Choose the A or B building and the actual merchant

      Ganghwa Central Market is a local multi-store building, not Ganghwa Pungmul Market and not one tourist food hall. Save the exact shop, floor and entrance when a specific purchase matters.

    2. 02
      During each shop's live hours

      Check price, payment and stock before purchase

      No market-wide opening or closed day is published in the current public record. Groceries, clothing, services, cafés and offices keep independent schedules and return rules.

    3. 03
      Before prepared food or packing

      Confirm the complete transaction

      Ask for unit, weight, preparation, allergens, origin, refrigeration, card acceptance and any delivery or parking validation before the merchant begins work.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Say 'Ganghwa Central Market' and the A or B building when asking directions; the better-known Pungmul Market is a different destination.
    • Use posted floor directories and verify the exact business before climbing, because upper floors include services and offices as well as retail.
    • For food gifts, ask how long the item can remain unrefrigerated and keep raw or fermented products separate from luggage that cannot leak.
    • Search “강화 중앙시장” 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 catalogue coordinate is an approximate centre pin, not turn-by-turn entrance guidance.
