Korea Tour : Dongdaemun Market, Fashion Shopping Hub

Hi?

I am Eddie Kwon, Korea Tour interpreter and guide.

Today, I would like to show you Dongdaemun Market, fashion shopping hub in Seoul.

Starting from the plaza market, the entire market formed by the Cheonggyecheon stream, which is about 1.3km from Changsin-dong station, is called Dongdaemun market. There are about 30 buildings and 30,000 stores in the market. Peace market, Dongdaemun market, Shinpyeonghwa market are forming traditional wholesale market. 

Restaurants that are famous for history and tradition are hidden in every corner. The art plaza, designer club and Uno Cole on the old Dongdaemun Stadium form a modern commercial area. From early evening until dawn, the merchants of street and retail clothing come from all over the country.

 

The large shopping malls, such as Migliore and Duta, are open to the younger generations, such as teenagers and 20s. Various outdoor events such as invitational performances, b-boy shows, and dance contests are held at shopping malls. 

It is a famous place. The market where you can get a glimpse of the emotions of the people who live in that era is a fresh stimulus for travelers and a place where you can feel the vibrancy of life.
