Nowadays, thanks to the rows of seafood restaurants inside, the market became even more popular among seafood lovers. The market carries a wide variety of fresh vegetables and produce, herbs, grains, and regional specialties. The seafood at the market is delivered fresh from Guryongpo Port.

Gyodongdo Daeryong Market (교동도 대룡시장)

35 Gyodongnam-ro, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon

Daeryong Market is an alley market that reproduces the appearance of Yeonbaek Market to maintain a livelihood for residents who temporarily evacuated from Yeonbaek-gun in Hwanghae-do, to Gyodongdo Island during the Korean War. Gyodongdo Island has been the center of economic development for over 50 years. As most of the displaced elderly who created the market passed away and the population rapidly decreased, the market size also reduced considerably. However, with the opening of Gyodongdaegyo Bridge in July 2014, it has become a must-see course for tourists to take pictures of Daeryong Market, which looks like a movie set in the 1960s. Gyodong Giga Island, also referred to as Gyodong Swallow House, opened in late march of 2022 and provides tour information using intellectual techonology as well as bicycle and smartwatch rental services to tourists. In addition, there are various experience programs such as a VR video experience and "Making Gyodong Newspaper."
