Flea Market Area

One of the attractions of the flea market is that “One Man’s Trash is Another Man’s Treasure”, as the old saying goes, and that buyers and sellers can communicate with each other.

Exhibition hall 4 and 5 is a familiar flea-market style area where various products such as clothing, miscellaneous goods, children’s goods and toys are lined up on the floor.

This is the area where vendors bring their items in their own car, which means a lot of cars line up at the venue.
