      Permanent merchants trade independently, while expanded five-day trading is listed on the 3rd, 8th, 13th, 18th, 23rd and 28th. Attendance and hours still vary.

    2. 02

      Confirm grade, origin, unit and total

      For ginseng, apples, ramie and food, ask the exact product, origin, grade, weight or count, price unit, total, packaging, return and shipping terms before purchase.

    3. 03
      After purchase

      Keep receipts and safe storage

      Card, cash receipt, local voucher and delivery are merchant-specific. Protect fresh or prepared food from heat and keep aisles and vehicle access clear.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Compare the same ginseng grade and weight basis rather than package size alone.
    • Ask about ingredients and shared frying oil at the exact food stall.
    • Keep an itemized receipt and written shipping or return terms for higher-value purchases.
    • Search “풍기중앙시장 경상북도 영주시 풍기읍 기주로76번길 16” 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.
