GANGHWA PUNGMUL MARKET

Discover this two-storey covered market in the shape of a traditional building, selling typical island products, from cuisine to handicrafts and herbs (including the famous ginseng). Local specialties include rush mats with colorful floral motifs(hwamunseok). The Ganghwa white rush is particularly renowned. It's better to invest in Korean mats than in Chinese or Vietnamese ones, which are more expensive but of better quality.
