Two different calendars at one old market
Andong Gu Market sits in Andong's historic downtown. The Korea Tourism Organization lists five-day market dates as days ending in 2 or 7: the 2nd, 7th, 12th, 17th, 22nd and 27th of each month. This does not mean every shop opens only on those dates. Permanent shops set their own hours and holidays.
Why explore Jjimdak Alley?
The market includes Andong Jjimdak Alley, a place to discover the city's well-known braised chicken dish with its sweet, savory and spicy flavours. Visitors can also browse items such as salted mackerel, local produce and everyday goods. A meal at a restaurant and browsing the periodic market are two different activities. Opening times and queues at specific restaurants have not been verified.
Find the correct place
The official tourism listing gives 21 Beonyeong-gil, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do (Seobu-dong 185). Search for the Korean name `안동구시장` as well as `Andong Gu Market` when using Korean map services. The listing mentions parking, restrooms and a nursing room, but access to each facility on the day of your visit is not guaranteed.
What to check before leaving
Individual stalls and shops may open on different schedules, and weather can affect outdoor market activity. The official listing gives +82-54-858-9002 for enquiries. Check with the organiser or individual shops before relying on a particular stall, meal or service. Market dates are a useful planning guide, not a live opening guarantee.
