Whether you approach Yangpyeong from Seoul or Yeoju, you’ll find that the paths are adjacent to waterways. If the waterway is straight, then so is the path, and when the waterway bends, the path bends as well. Following this river will lead to Yanggeundaegyo Bridge, and past that bridge is Yangpyeong-eup. Look left after crossing the bridge to see Yangpyeong Station, and follow the creek flowing between the bridge and subway station to come across Yangpyeong Mool Malkeun Market. A permanent market with over 400 stores, the market sees some 200 stalls open up on days that fall on a 5-day market. Yangpyeong is where Namhangang River and Bukhangang River, which originate in Gangwon-do, meet together, and from long time ago, it served as a traffic hub using the waterways. Any products that were being taken from Gangwon-do to the capital Hanyang had to go through Yangpyeong Ferry, and the markets accompanying these coming and going goods were always bustling with people. Though the mode of transportation has now transitioned from waterways to overland routes and trains, Yangpyeong Market still continues to see many visitors seeking out the food produced in Yangpyeong. In the vicinity of the market is Dumulmeori, which is adjacent to tourist attractions such as Yeoyudang (the birthplace of Dasan Jeong Yak-Yong), Semiwon Garden, and Yongmunsan Mountain. As such, on days when the 5-day market is held, tourists who have come in search of the aforementioned attractions also stop by the market. Yangpyeong Mool Malkeun Market is always thriving with the sale of seasonal vegetables and fruits produced directly in Yangpyeong and agricultural produce such as wild edible greens picked straight from Yongmun. The market is also full of meals that can be eaten on the spot, including the famed Yangpyeong-style hangover soup, noodle dishes, Korean-style pancakes, and half-moon sorghum cakes, which adds to the market’s merry atmosphere.
