Hi, I’m Tabi!

Gwangmyeong in Gyeonggi-do combines a repurposed mine with traditional-market life. Plan separate transport to the cave in Gahak-dong and the market in Gwangmyeong-dong and choose one to begin.

This guide covers places within Gwangmyeong, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Gwangmyeong Cave

광명동굴

A former mine adapted for culture and tourism, distinct from a natural cave. The photograph shows its outdoor surroundings in 2024, not current interior access or exhibits. Allow for dark passages, stairs and slopes and check activity conditions and restricted areas.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02

A first-visit stop

Gwangmyeong Traditional Market

광명전통시장

Browse ingredients, everyday goods and market food in Gwangmyeong-dong. Distinguish its origins as a five-day market from today’s permanent shops. Check individual shops and stock, keep deliveries clear and ask before photography.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

An official Gyeonggi market-travel article introduces bindaetteok at Gwangmyeong Traditional Market. A particular shop’s story illustrates local market food without an endorsement or a guarantee of current menus or prices. Check actual ingredients such as mung beans, wheat and meat and allergies with vendors.
