Markets in Gwangju are a useful way to connect shopping with everyday food culture. Begin with Tteokgalbi · Namdo cuisine and check which stalls or streets fit the route from Chungjang-ro / Sangmu.
Confirm the price and what is included before buying; do not assume every seller offers shipping or tax-refund services. Leave space in your luggage and check airline restrictions for food purchases. Keep narrow aisles clear and ask before taking close-up portraits.
