    DAY-OF PLAN

    Know the sequence before you go.

    Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
    1. 01
      Confirm that today is a market date

      The permanent village remains on non-market days, but the five-day market is scheduled for the 5th, 15th and 25th. Check weather, local notice and whether the intended product is likely in daytime trade.

    2. 02
      Enter the working street carefully

      The audited coordinate reaches the published market arrival. Keep delivery lanes clear, watch for wet or uneven ground and ask before photographing vendors or goods.

    3. 03
      Confirm price, unit, payment and ingredients

      The broad market hours do not bind individual stalls. Ask the total, origin, preparation, card or cash requirement and food allergens before purchase.

      The permanent village remains on non-market days, but the five-day market is scheduled for the 5th, 15th and 25th. Check weather, local notice and whether the intended product is likely in daytime trade.

      At 39 Tongri 1-gil

      Enter the working street carefully

      The audited coordinate reaches the published market arrival. Keep delivery lanes clear, watch for wet or uneven ground and ask before photographing vendors or goods.

    3. 03
      Before buying

      Confirm price, unit, payment and ingredients

      The broad market hours do not bind individual stalls. Ask the total, origin, preparation, card or cash requirement and food allergens before purchase.

    4. Traveler tips

    • Plan for the 5th, 15th or 25th and arrive during active daytime trade rather than relying on the broad 22:00 endpoint.
    • Carry a backup payment method because card acceptance is stall-specific.
    • Ask before close-up photography and never block a seller, delivery cart or resident entrance.
    • Confirm allergens and shared oil, grill, knife or serving-utensil risks before eating prepared food.
    • Search “강원특별자치도 태백시 통리1길 39 통리장” 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.
