Seoul Yangnyeong Market

Seoul Yangnyeong Market is Korea’s largest comprehensive Korean medicine complex, with more than 800 herbal medicine-related shops. All kinds of medicinal ingredients from across the country gather here. Seoul Yangnyeong Market came into being naturally in the 1960s, when herbal medicine traders began gathering from all over the country via Cheongnyangni Station. Here you can also buy rare medicinal ingredients used in various folk remedies, such as frogs, softshell turtles, and freshwater shrimp. There is also a decoction service, and for a fee of around 10,000 won, your medicine will be sealed in a package that makes it easy to take. The ginseng market also sells ginseng, red ginseng, mi-sam, various honeys, and domestically grown lingzhi mushrooms. In recent years, more foreign visitors have been coming as well. For now they mostly stop at buying ginseng, but for them it is also an appealing place to see unusual sights beyond shopping. Along with its affordable prices and the fun of browsing as if at a country market, Seoul Yangnyeong Market is crowded with people in every season.
