Markets in Tongyeong are a useful way to connect shopping with everyday food culture. Begin with Chungmu gimbap · oysters and check which stalls or streets fit the route from Gangguan / central waterfront.

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.
