This market arose naturally in 1958 when a US military base was established nearby, and merchants and clients who directly exchanged agricultural products flocked to the market.

The street is lined with unique restaurants and general stores from Mexico, Brazil, Thailand, Japan, and other countries. It is a market containing a range of groceries, apparel, and general merchandise. Budaejjigae, which was created around the time of war using food waste from United States Forces Korea bases, handcrafted burgers that will satisfy people from all over the world, and Chicago pizza are all famous delicacies.

Mirinae Holy Site in Anseong is the final resting place of Saint Andreas Kim Daegeon, Korea’s first Catholic saint, along with his mother Ursula, Bishop Ferréol—the third head of the Joseon parish who ordained Priest Kim—and Vincentius Lee Minsik, who buried Saint Kim’s body. The name ‘Mirinae,’ meaning ‘Milky Way’ in Korean, adds a celestial significance to the site. Saint Andreas Kim Daegeon, who was martyred at the age of 26, was buried here 40 days after his execution. Sanctification efforts began in earnest in 1972 and have since resulted in the establishment of a memorial church, a statue of Saint Kim, and a serene garden for reflection.

Trivium is a special retreat nestled in the quiet village of Dongcheon-ri, Jinwi-myeon, Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do. Founded by a landscape architect and his wife, an aromatherapist, Trivium was envisioned as a place where visitors could set aside the weight of daily life and find true rest. The name trivium is a Latin word meaning “the three paths of learning,” symbolizing grammar, logic, and rhetoric, which compose the foundation of classical scholarship. Beyond its beautiful scenery, Trivium aspires to be an academic and philosophical space where everyone can explore the self and find inspiration. As Zhuangzi once said, “People see their reflection not in flowing water, but in still water." In this spirit, Trivium offers a unique experience of encountering oneself and the world in tranquility. More than just a building, it is a harmonious and serene sanctuary and a place of learning where people and nature breathe together.
