Prepare for Seollal Holiday at Gangseo-gu Office

Operation of Direct Market for Lunar New Year on 14th-15th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangseo-gu, Seoul (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) will operate a 'Seol Holiday Direct Market' at the district office for two days from the 14th to the 15th.

The district has been continuously holding direct markets since 2000 in cooperation with sister cities and counties to ease the burden of holiday preparations for residents.

At this Seol Holiday Direct Market, over 350 items including grains, meats, fruits, wild greens, various agricultural and specialty products, and ceremonial goods will be sold at prices 5-30% cheaper than the market price.

The direct market operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Top-quality specialty products directly shipped from 12 sister cities and counties including Imsil, Sangju, Taean, Gangneung, Yeosu, Haman, Suncheon, Jeongeup, Goesan, Cheongyang, Namwon, and Nonsan can be found all in one place.

In particular, Korean beef, which is loved by residents every year, and cheese, which captures children's tastes, are also prepared this year at discounted prices compared to market prices.

At the sales booths prepared by each sister city, free tasting corners will be operated, allowing visitors to sample the specialty products of each sister city.

On the last day of the market operation, a portion of the sales proceeds will be voluntarily donated to help neighbors in need within the community have a warm Seol holiday.

A district official said, "We have prepared high-quality, safe food products directly from the production areas together with our sister cities," and added, "We hope residents visit the district office to experience the specialty products of our sister cities at affordable prices."
