Geumnamno 5-ga: Daein Market on ordinary and festival days

Start at Geumnamno 5-ga Station Exit 3 and connect Daein Market, Daein Art Night Market, Northern old downtown only as conditions allow. Set aside 2–4 hours. The key is to “Separate the everyday market from the dated art-night program so the trip works even without an event.” Recheck official operations, transport and safety notices on the day.
