Hidden Traditional Korean Markets in Daegu: Gwanmun Market

It is a traditional market where you can feel the voices of merchants filling the street of the market and the smell of food that stimulates the tip of your nose from afar. Today, we would like to learn about the "Gwanmun Market," a relatively unknown market compared to Seomun Market and Chilseong Market among the three traditional markets in Daegu. The gateway market here is said to be the largest relief market in Daegu because of its dense relief clothing!

Gwanmun Market 

On a rainy day, nothing is harder than shopping with a cumbersome umbrella in one hand, and the ceiling of the gateway market is installed in an arcade-type, so you can freely visit the market without being affected by the weather.

Overall, it was confirmed that the market was lined with wide, cool, neat, and clean stands. In addition, the market is separated by areas such as seafood, herbal medicine, fruit, and bread, so it is designed to be convenient to find the product you want.

Shall we take a look at the flowers and foods of traditional markets? There are a variety of snacks, ranging from small gimbap to old chicken, snacks, hot dogs, and sikhye (a traditional Korean sweet rice bverage). In addition, plenty of side dishes are also sold, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a food corner as good as a supermarket!

In addition, famous restaurants visited by famous restaurant bloggers are distributed in the gateway market. Among them, I decided to stop by a restaurant that sells meals with porridge to fill my stomach, and the menu inside the store still showed a good price of soju and beer at around 3,000 won, along with more than 20 different kinds of menus.

​

Among them, let's take a look at the delicious menu, "Jeyuk bokkeum", a dish of stir-fried spicy pork. Vegetables and soybean paste stew are served together, and there is no odor, and the seasoning is well permeated, so it is not salty and stimulates the sense of taste with the right seasoning.

After filling the stomach, we looked through Daegu's largest vintage alley, and the endless long vintage market was displayed with colorful colors ranging from overall jeans to patterned clothes found in the 90s to match the Newtro trend these days.

The old alley of the gateway market, which shows a panoramic view of Dongmyo Shrine in Seoul, is said to be lucky enough to find trendy clothes that are not lagging behind these days, so if you visit here, I recommend you to visit.
