Jukdo Market
죽도시장
The largest traditional market on the east coast of North Gyeongsang Province. It is a sashimi hub where snow crab and Pohang's signature mulhoe, a cold raw fish soup, are must-tries.
Jukdo Market lies beside the Pohang Canal, with more than 2,000 shops. The fish market is the highlight. Buy seafood on the ground floor and have it prepared upstairs. You can eat sashimi, snow crab and king crab, along with Pohang specialties: mulhoe, a cold raw fish soup, and in winter, gwamaegi, wind-dried saury. Mornings are the liveliest, and some stalls close early in the evening. A taxi from Pohang Station or the intercity bus terminal takes about 15 minutes. You can combine your visit with a boat tour on the Pohang Canal.
Opening hours
Approx. 08:00–21:00 (varies by shop)
