Hadong Hwagae Market, a traditional market formed at the confluence of the Seomjingang River and Hwagae Stream, served as a marketplace where people from the Yeongnam and Honam regions met and exchanged goods. Although it declined for a time due to changes in transportation and distribution environments, it reopened in 2001 with the construction of traditional market stalls and a specialized green tea shopping area. Currently, it operates as a permanent market that can be visited without having to adhere to specific five-day market dates. Visitors can browse a diverse range of items, including chestnuts, wild herbs, agricultural products, and medicinal herbs, and discover local foods and specialties while strolling among the stalls. Since operating hours and days off vary by shop, it is advisable to check the operating status of the specific store you intend to visit.

The cultivation of Ganghwa ginseng began during the era of King Gojong (A.D. 1232) of the Goryeo dynasty. In 1920, Ganghwado Island was designated a special district for ginseng cultivation. At the onset of the Korean War (1950-1953), the people of Gaeseong, the birthplace of ginseng cultivation, took refuge on Ganghwado Island and began to cultivate ginseng on a large scale, which was the beginning of the production of the famous 6-year-old root of ginseng.

Ganghwado Island has the optimal environment for ginseng cultivation with clay soil, sandy loam, and a cool climate condition influenced by coastal winds. The thick root of Ganghwa ginseng does not have any inside cavity or white interior. This is how Ganghwa became a leading producer of the 6-year-old root, which has a high rate of red ginseng extract, cheonji.
