Namdaemun Mark
located in the very center of Seoul, is the biggest traditional market in Korea selling children's clothing, men & women's clothing, daily miscellaneous goods, kitchenware and local and imported products. Most shops have their own factories and make the products themselves offering both wholesale and retail prices which enable visitors to purchase various shopping items at extremely inexpensive prices. Foreign visitors to Namdaemun Market show different tastes: the Japanese are more into foods like gim (seaweed), gimchi, and ginseng, while the Chinese show interest in clothing and miscellaneous goods. On the other hand, most tourists from the West simply enjoy the ambience of the traditional market. Hours vary by store, so it's advisable to plan in advance according toa shopping list before you start actual shopping.
Food
No fast food restaurants or fancy restaurants are found  in Namdaemun Market, but many kinds of savory local foods served at shabby restaurants and foods of street vendors give the feel of a genuine traditional Korean market. These shabby restaurants were originally for the shopkeepers, but now more tourists are seen here than the shopkeepers, who have come to try the famous taste themselves. Two noted food streets in Namdaemun, Galchi Street and Meokja Street, are hard to find, but worth visiting. Between Bon-Dong, C-Dong and D-Dong are open-air food vendors serving Bungeobbang (fish-shaped bread), Tteokbokgi, deep-fried snacks and so on. |
