Bangsan Market is a traditional market located in the Jugyo-dong neighborhood of Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea. The market is famous for its pressed wrapping paper and includes more than 550 stores. The name of the market comes from the location's former condition during the Joseon Dynasty. At that time the area was not well maintained, and therefore became infamous for its bad smell. People ironically began calling this place ''Bangsan'', ''bang'' being Korean for ''fragrant''.〔Park, Tae-soon (2008). My Country, My Nature (나의 국토 나의 산하). p. 39.〕 According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Bangsan Market has been designated a tourist destination since 2011. The government decided to keep the feel of a natural traditional market rather than modernize it. The government stated that it will continue to improve the market's image. ==See also== *Shopping in Seoul *List of markets in South Korea *List of South Korean tourist attractions 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bangsan Market」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
