For shopping enthusiasts, Dongdaemun is a must visit.
Enormous shopping centers – stacked with multiple
levels of boutique and independent shops – offer the
latest in Korean fashion, cosmetics, accessories, and
other goods while prices are relatively low. The night
shopping (between late night and early morning) is
particularly well known here, making Dongdaemun a
place where you can literally shop until you drop. If
...More
fashion isn't what you’re looking for, the
long-running wholesale markets nearby sell everything
from cloth to utensils at lower prices. The rows of
food stalls that set up at night ensure shoppers get
refueled, and foodies will enjoy checking out nearby
Sindang-dong’s Tteokbokki Town as well as some
non-Korean offerings from the Central Asian Village
near Dongdaemun.
