- Origin:Taein is
the place where Honam's best Pihyangjeong is located. Until the
1970's, the region was famous for its one-in-five-days opening markets.
However, with the development of transport and a gradual decrease
in the rural population, the market has somewhat withered. In 1997,
the market building was renovated
- Characteristics:
시As the marketplace is in the center of the city, fresh farm products
from nearby areas are traded between five and six o'clock in the
morning, after which the market closes. Hence the name 'ghost market.'
It is the only market in Korea to open in myeon.
