Geumchon Market grew with rail traffic and the needs of a border city

Geumchon became a daily center through the Gyeongui railway, public administration, surrounding farms and demand generated by a border and military city. Explaining the market only as a place for soldiers erases residents, farm goods and ordinary shopping; ignoring the bases erases an important source of demand. Permanent shops and periodic market days have changed with supermarkets, online retail, redevelopment and population movement. Food attractions represent only a small part of the work of transport, preparation, display and cleanup. Confirm current market-day and closure information, distinguish Geumchon Tongil Market from the wider shopping streets, and record the walking route from the station without obstructing customers or photographing traders without consent.
