Chuncheon Romantic Market is Chuncheon’s representative regular market that opened in 1960. It connects to Chuncheon’s high street, Myeongdong. As the arcade is installed in the market passageway, people can conveniently use the market regardless of the weather and season. Selected as a cultural tourism-style market in 2010, the market was renamed Chuncheon Romantic Market and refurbished with signboards and alleys. Visitors can discover hidden mural paintings and sculptures in various alleys. The market is packed with stores selling hanbok (traditional Korean clothes), general clothes, miscellaneous goods, and various food ingredients, as well as restaurants specializing in noodles, blood sausage soup, Vietnamese rice noodles, and others. When the U.S. army resided in Chuncheon, the Yankee Market was formed to sell American goods, but is barely surviving these days. Chuncheon Romantic Market is not large in size, but it is adjacent to other attractions such as Chuncheon Myeongdong Street, Yungnim Pass, and Myeongdong Dakgalbi Alley of Chuncheon. In addition, it was also included in the list of “16 Traditional Markets for Tourists” by Korea Tourism Organization (KTO).
