Daeryong Market
Daeryong Market is an alley market that replicates the appearance of Yeonbaek Market to support residents who fled from Yeonbaek-gun in Hwanghae-do to Gyodong Island during the Korean War. For over 50 years, Gyodong Island has been a hub of economic activity. However, as the original elderly market founders passed away and the population dwindled, the market's size significantly reduced.
Since the opening of Gyodongdaegyo Bridge in July 2014, Daeryong Market has become a popular tourist attraction, offering a nostalgic view of a market reminiscent of the 1960s. Gyodong Giga Island, also known as Gyodong Swallow House, opened in late March 2022 and provides visitors with tour information through advanced technology, along with bicycle and smartwatch rentals. It also offers various experience programs, including VR video experiences and a 'Making Gyodong Newspaper' activity.
