Songdo Station Market (송도 역전시장)
Songdo Station Market, which started with the
introduction of the Suin Line in the 1960s,
has a long history of about 60 years.
At first, it was more like a flea market
where women visited by traveling along
the narrow-gauge train, but it gradually grew into
a more permanent market as merchants from
all over the country gathered.
This market is relatively small but has become
one of the city’s representative
tourist attractions, along with Baekje Envoy-gil.
