Korean Markets
| Every small village and the big cities have open-air markets where they sell anything from fruits and vegetables and fish to products that are only found in their locality. The larger cities have specialty markets for the products produced in their area. There are many huge outdoor markets with vendors selling clothing, camping equipment, fresh flowers, baskets, pottery, beautiful blankets, household goods, and electronics, jade, and even gold. |
