Market
Dongmun Traditional Market
20 Gwandeok-ro 14-gil, 특별자치도, Cheju, Jeju-do
Covered market of seafood, produce, street food and fabric stalls, rebuilt after a mid-century fire.
This guide to Dongmun Traditional Market on Jeju opens on March 13, 1954, when a vendor testing a cigarette lighter over an open can of gasoline set off a fire that tore through the stalls amid gusting winds. It follows the merchants who rebuilt with plank stalls almost immediately, and Moon Ok-ja, who has sold fabric here since 1965, sewing a family's income out of cloth for trousseaus during wedding season.
