Gyeongju's Jungang, Seongdong Markets Liven Up with October Fall Festivals... Tourist Attraction Discounts for Dongguk WISE Exam Takers

Gyeongju City is bringing renewed vitality to the region by holding autumn festivals at traditional markets and offering tourism benefits to students taking university early admission exams.

At Jungang Market, Gyeongju's leading traditional market, the 18th Rice Cake and Native Korean Beef Festival will be held from October 23 to 24, featuring a Korean beef grill zone, a food market and prize events.

Then, from October 30 to 31, Seongdong Market will host the Millennium Connection Spoon and Chopsticks Festival and the 15th One Heart Festival, offering a variety of activities, including spoon basketball and a night market.

Gyeongju City is also offering discounts at tourist attractions to students applying for early admission to Dongguk University WISE Campus for the 2027 academic year and their accompanying family members.

Visitors who bring their examination admission tickets will receive discounts on admission to Rawon, a cultural complex inside Donggungwon, and the privately operated tourist attraction Flashback Gyerim. The offer includes admission for up to four people accompanying the student to Rawon for KRW 7,000, and a 50% discount at Flashback Gyerim, helping ease the financial burden on visitors traveling for university admissions.

The festivals and discounts are expected to connect traditional markets with major tourist attractions, encouraging visitors to stay longer and spend more in the region.
