A Tour of Sejong's Local Commercial District — From Jochiwon Market to Lake Park
Sejong features completely different atmospheres in its new downtown (Naseong and Dodam-dong) and old downtown (Jochiwon), making it fun to visit both in a single day. The fruit stalls at Jochiwon Traditional Market are worth seeing during peach season (July–August), and traveling by car is preferable to the new downtown commercial district due to convenient parking. The area around the Urban Artrium in Naseong-dong is a dining hub where young people flock in the evenings. Singsing Market is a direct sales outlet for local produce, making it a great place to buy food gifts.
