The Tongilchon Agricultural Products Direct Market is a facility consisting of a direct market that sells locally produced agricultural goods and tourism items from within the Civilian Control Line, as well as a restaurant where visitors can enjoy food made from local produce. It is one of Paju City's most popular tourist attractions, frequented by both residents and tourists. However, persistent issues such as the aging of the building's exterior walls, damage to the interior floor finishing materials, and water leakage in some sections have highlighted the need for facility improvements.


In response, Paju City has reflected the concerns of residents and visitors who use the direct market by setting up a participatory budget. The planned improvements include painting the exterior walls of the market, replacing decorative floor tiles inside, and repairing areas where water leaks have occurred.


The city expects that this project will comprehensively upgrade the direct market's facilities and provide visitors with a more pleasant and safer environment.



Hwang Inbae, Head of the Balanced Development Division, stated, "We have decided to pursue this improvement project so that residents and visitors using the Tongilchon Agricultural Products Direct Market can enjoy the facilities in a more pleasant environment," adding, "We will continue to actively reflect residents' opinions and make ongoing efforts to manage the facilities and improve the environment."
