Jayu Wholesale Market

About
A third-floor row of flower shops selling bouquets, single stems, plants and artificial flowers inside a traditional wholesale market.
The third floor is the reason to come: a row of small flower shops sells fresh bouquets, single stems, potted plants and artificial flowers. It feels like a working wholesale market rather than a polished flower-farm complex, and mornings can be lively and crowded. Florists and people preparing wedding or event flowers browse alongside shoppers picking up a plant or a few stems. You can also shop for clothing, shoes, bags, beauty goods and Christmas tree decorations elsewhere in the market, so it is not just a flower stop. Reviews describe flowers as good value; one blog puts a bundle at about ₩15,000–20,000, but there is no fixed price list. Ask the vendor before settling on a bouquet, and compare a couple of stalls if the price is unclear. Packaging costs extra, according to visitors, and one reports that the packaging fee could not be paid by card. The flower shops are on the third floor of Jayu Wholesale Market, not Pyeonghwa Market. The market is open Monday to Saturday, 07:00–18:00, and closed Sunday; go earlier if you want to see the busiest trading period, though expect more people. Parking is available, but reviewers describe it as congested and the slope as steep. Some shop owners are helpful, while others can be curt, so allow time to ask questions and make your choice without rushing. This suits florists, event shoppers and anyone after flowers or everyday shopping under one roof; it is less suited to someone expecting a quiet, fixed-price retail experience.
