1982 Registered Market, Shopping Route of Songhyeon-dong Remaining in a 1,357㎡ Store
Songhyeon Market is a registered market located at 2 Songhyeon-dong 3-gil, Dalseo-gu, Daegu, and was formed in 1982.

Focused on Vegetables, Sesame Oil, and Dried Fish; Why You Should Visit from 07:00 AM
The main items suggested in the official market information are vegetables, sesame oil, and dried fish. Rather than expecting tourist souvenirs or night market menus, it is appropriate to plan it as a market to purchase as many ingredients and daily necessities as needed. Sales of agricultural and marine products and general goods are also listed.
The market operation hours are 07:00~20:00, and regular holidays are for individual stores, not the entire market. Therefore, if you have a specific sesame oil shop, restaurant, or side dish store as your destination, you must check whether they are open before you leave. There is no entrance fee, and you can look around the market passages without buying anything.
- Operating Hours: 07:00~20:00
- Holidays: Individual store closures
- Entrance Fee: Free
- Number of Street Stalls: Recorded as 0
- Stores Accepting Credit Cards: Recorded as 36
- Stores Accepting Onnuri Gift Certificates: Recorded as 40

From 78 to about 8, the Present State of Songhyeon Market Where Even 'Vacant Stores' Must Be Noticed
Songhyeon Market went through a period when 78 stores were in full operation, but due to the aging of the commercial-residential complex building and store relocations, it is currently guided as having a high proportion of vacant stores. This change is a clear difference for visitors expecting a dense shopping area like a large traditional market.
Conversely, this is a place where you can see how daily necessity businesses like the remaining vegetable shops, restaurants, sesame oil shops, and snack bars are maintained. Jinju Restaurant inside the market is introduced as a place frequented by regulars looking for Dwaeji-gukbap (Pork Rice Soup), but menus, prices, and holidays vary by store, so you should check on-site.
- Number of Operating Stores: Approximately 8
- Number of Vacant Stores: 70
- Number of Weekday Customers: Recorded as 10 per day
- Number of Weekend Customers: Recorded as 15 per day
- Recommended Stay: 15–30 minutes for shopping, 45–60 minutes including meals
A Short Course Connecting Songhyeon Park (0.4km) and Dalseo Byeolbit Camp (0.5km)
Near the market, Songhyeon Park is 0.4km away and Dalseo Byeolbit Camp is 0.5km away. After buying ingredients or snacks at the market, it can be thought of as a short walking route of about 5 to 10 minutes to Songhyeon Park.
Daedeok Riding School is 0.8km away and Haksan Park is guided as being 1.2km away. If you plan to move toward Haksan Park, it is better to visit the market in the morning and arrange the park walk and observatory visit afterward so you are not rushed by the market's 20:00 closing time.
- Songhyeon Park: 0.4km
- Dalseo Byeolbit Camp: 0.5km
- Daedeok Riding School: 0.8km
- Haksan Park: 1.2km
