Nambu Market

Getting around: A short walk south from Jeonju Hanok Village, within central Jeonju.
Hours: Generally open daily, roughly 7am-9pm, with a night market section (Cheongnyeon Mall) running Friday-Saturday evenings.

Nambu Market is Jeonju's traditional market, a working local market by day selling produce, dried goods, and traditional foods, and by night on weekends transformed into Cheongnyeon Mall, a youth-run night market with creative food stalls and craft vendors that has helped revitalize the market's appeal to younger visitors. Its location right next to Hanok Village makes it an easy, natural extension of an evening in the village.

The weekend night market atmosphere in particular is worth timing a visit around if you're in Jeonju on a Friday or Saturday, offering a livelier, more youth-oriented energy than the daytime market.
