This open-air market is located near Yongdusan Park, and as large as Tongdaemun Market in Seoul. This market offers a great range of goods as much as two open-air markets in Seoul. This Folkcraft Village is a working community of master craftsmen in Kyongju. It is located northwest of Pulguksa Temple.
Visitors can buy beautiful craft pieces direct from the craftsmen.
These rush mats are prized by Koreans and already popular as tourist souvenirs. The market is also famous for its excellent ginseng. Current medical research has proved that ginseng actually does benefit users and may even reduce stress. Ginseng is found in Korea, China, and the United States, but the Korean species, known scientifically as Panax ginseng, is considered to be of the finest quality. Ginseng is made into teas, powders, liquid extracts, and capsules.
