Chuncheon Folk Flea Market, which is 5 min walk from Namchuncheon Station, is located below the Gyeongchun Line railway bridge connecting Namchuncheon Station with Chuncheon Station. The market was originally built over the covered Yaksacheon Stream, but with the ecosystem restoration project of the Yaksacheon Stream, the market was relocated to the current position at the end of 2010. It covers a distance of about 700 m and is packed with some 140 stores. It also holds its fifth-day market (opened every five days on dates of the month whose last digit is the 2nd or 7th). On the opening days of the fifth-day market, it is filled with various kinds of street stalls selling farming products, fresh fish and seafood, snacks, and miscellaneous goods. Visitors can also try diverse dishes, including Gangwon-do’s local dishes such as buckwheat pancake, buckwheat crepes, and red chili paste pancake, and other dishes such as spicy stir-fried chicken, raw meat dish, and noodle soup.

Chuncheon Puppet Theater, which is Korea’s first puppet theater, and Chuncheon Puppet Museum, which exhibits various materials about puppet shows, are located side by side on the Uiamho lakeside. As the Puppet Festival Chuncheon gained its popularity since its first opening in 1989, Chuncheon Puppet Theater and Chuncheon Puppet Museum were also opened in 2001 and 2004, respectively. At present, Chuncheon Puppet Theater is the main stage of the Puppet Festival Chuncheon, which is held every year, and provides a puppet show aside from the festival period. The museum displays various types of puppets from Korea and other countries, including Korea’s puppets from kkokdugaksi nori (Korean puppet play), France’s Guignols, and China’s shadow puppets. It also offers experience programs related to the exhibition. Besides a cafe with a great view by the museum, there are a playground, a waterside bike path, and a trail nearby, as well as Gangwon Provincial Arboretum, which is about 500 m away.

The gallery offers local artists a venue to actively present their works, serving as a stimulant for expanding the popularity of culture and arts and enriching the lives of citizens. The Chuncheon Art Gallery is a relaxing and easily accessible cultural space to enjoy art in the Chucheon area.

After the new city project, the stores relocated to the new downtown, leaving the area empty. In 2015, the street was rejuvenated with Makgeolli Street and Youth Mall. The street is full of restaurants and stores that was renovated providing an analog-feel combined with a trendy style.
