#AbsolutelyFreeTrip I visited Dongdaemun Market in Seoul! The bustle of the huge wholesale market is truly overwhelming! The aisles are full of energy with buyers and travelers constantly moving around from morning to night, and fashion, fabrics, and accessories are lined up in a narrow space. I was captivated by the colorful fabrics at the fabric stores, and every time I found an item that caught my eye, I stopped in front of the store as if I was drawn in. The best part is enjoying shopping while negotiating, and I can't help but smile! Especially at night, there are plenty of 24-hour food stalls and indoor food courts, so it's also attractive to take a break and enjoy Korean cuisine. It was a deep spot in Seoul where you can feel the heat of the market and creative energy with your whole body! 📍 272 Jong-ro, Jongno District, Seoul, Korea 🕰️ 9:00-19:00 💰 Budget: 10,000 won

#Seoul Itinerary Dongdaemun, this bustling area that combines fashion and culture, is my best choice for a day trip. In the early morning sunshine, the whole area comes alive and the store fronts are colorful, which is quite exciting. As the crowds gradually poured in, I was deeply attracted by the vitality of the place. I started my journey at Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), a unique building that has become a landmark with its avant-garde design and architectural sense of light and shadow. Walking into the square, you will see design exhibitions and works of art that will make you linger. Afterwards, I strolled to the nearby night market to experience the bustling city life. Whether it was the fresh street snacks or the various goods, I was dazzled and in a good mood. In the afternoon, I entered the shopping mall in Dongdaemun and felt the latest fashion trends. From high-end brands to affordable trendy clothes, everything here makes me feel the fashion pulse of Seoul. After selecting some unique outfits, the satisfaction that followed made me extremely happy about today's trip. Finally, I returned to the square as night fell and was amazed by the changing lights of the night scene. The city looked particularly charming at night. 💖Dongdaemun is not only a shopping paradise, but also a meeting point of culture and art, which makes my love for Seoul even deeper.

#100 Travel Style On the first day, I arrived in the evening, so I went to Dongdaemun Market to eat Yukhoe and raw liver, which are not normally available in Japan. 😊 It was very delicious. 🎶 And on the second day, I had gamjatang at a local restaurant near Seoul Station. The Korean person who shared a table with me there told me that he runs a restaurant in a place called Samgakji, so I ate there that night. It's not in the photo, but North Face in Korea has cute designs and many cheap items even now with the weak yen. 😊 I didn't buy a lot, but I did. This time it was a whirlwind trip for two nights and three days, but I hope to go again soon. 💞Reason for recommendation: It's good value for money if you go with trip.com I stayed at a hotel called 📍Location: Five Hotel Jongno

🇰🇷 Seoul Dongdaemun Dakgalbi Alley Korean sweets "맛보는날" Mak Bonunnal ⁡ ⁡ This is a sweet that is often served at traditional tea cafes. ⁡ When it comes out, I think "Oh, lucky me 😆" I like Korean sweets, so I'm happy, but I didn't think I would buy it... ⁡ But (lol) ⁡ They are made in front of the store from early in the morning, and even though it must have been a busy time when the store had just opened, the owner was kind enough to let me try a lot of them 😋 ⁡ ⁡ Wow, they are so crispy and have such a good flavor, they are delicious 🤤✨✨✨ ⁡ ⁡ I had the image of Korean sweets being a bit soggy, so this changed my perception (lol) ⁡ And the candy or honey flavor is just right...I can see why people get addicted😍 ⁡ ⁡ The price is about 10,000 won per bag. ⁡ I bought a mix that had a variety of types. ⁡ I'll definitely want to buy this again. (Actually, I want to rush out and buy it next time) If you like it, you should definitely try it~🙋🏻♀️♥️ It lasts a long time, so it's also recommended as a souvenir^^* ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ 📍#맛보는날 Seoul Jongnok 40-ga-gil, Seoul 279m from Exit 9, Dongdaemun Station 8:00~20:00 ⁡ Dokdaemun Dakgalbi Alley...It's right next to Grilled Fish Alley. ⁡ ⁡ #Korea #KoreaTrip #Seoul #SeoulTrip #KoreaSoloTrip #KoreaSoloTrip #SeoulSoloTrip #KoreaLover #KoreaInfo #VisitKorea #KoreanSweets #KoreanSouvenir #KoreanSouvenir #TravelWithMe

It's an old restaurant near Dongdaemun DDP. The stir-fried lungs were so delicious and the soup was also great! 17 Jongno 46-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul Daewon House

Recent view restaurant^^ 3 nights day and night view is pretty nice place I'll rest well and go. Clean, good parking There are many restaurants near Jangangpyeong Station^^

#Trip to Korea I don't drink #coffee at all, so every time I go to #Korea, I always visit a #herbal tea shop. This time I ordered the 7,000 won Toku Ssanghwa tea. Ssanghwa tea is a traditional Korean medicinal tea that contains seven types of herbal ingredients (Chinese angelica, angelica, licorice, cinnamon, astragalus chinensis, white peony, and ripe rehmannia). Ssanghwa tea is said to be effective in improving colds, especially muscle pain and chills caused by colds. It is also good for strengthening the immune system, recovering from fatigue, and providing nutrition and strengthening. It's not as bitter as I thought it would be, so it's probably easier to drink than coffee.

I'm going to Dongdaemun Market! It's cold in January, so you need to take proper precautions against the cold, but it's warm inside, so it's best to wear a jacket that's easy to take off.

If you don't know what to do in Seoul on a cold day, how about going to Dongdaemun? After eating chewy rice cakes and soft chicken in hot soup at Jinokhwahalmaewonjodakhanmari, which is called a must-visit place for Japanese people traveling to Korea, time flies when you buy ingredients for things you want to make at the nearby Dongdaemun Market and sit at a cafe to make various things. I also recommend a cafe called Happy Chi near Dongdaemun. You can eat cute mouse character desserts! I recommend this to those who are wondering what to do for an indoor date in Seoul! @lulu__mignon @ishalo_you #Trip.comGayoDaejeon #WinterIndoorDate

Dongdaemun Market is a town that never sleeps, and even late at night there are many people passing by, making it a lively place. You can also get a snack at the food stalls, so you don't have to worry if you're hungry. There are also authentic Chinese restaurants nearby that are open until late.

Dongdaemun is a famous shopping district in South Korea, with many wholesale and retail stores for clothes, bags, socks, and accessories. Retail areas like doota, Hyundai Department Store, Migliore, ordinary tourists can go in and shop ~ You can also bargain with Ajumma 🤣 The wholesale area is usually open after 11:00 pm and does not accept general tourists for shopping. If you really want to buy it, you may need to bring two or more of the same model to have a chance, but it is likely to be fiercely competitive and the price will be more expensive (you can't buy it at wholesale prices) 😂 If you are tired of shopping, there are many small stalls and carts nearby where you can eat snacks. The spicy rice cakes here are not too spicy (probably because there are many foreign tourists) It's okay to eat a lot, but the taste is not very good. It is recommended to eat a lot before going. ℹ️ Doota Address: 서울특별시 중구 장충단로 275 Opening hours: 10:30-24:00 현대백화점면세점 동대문점 Address: 서울 중구 장충단로13길 Opening hours: 12:30 - 21:00 Migliore (밀리오레) Address: 서울 중구 장충단로 263 Business hours: 10:30 - 02:00, closed on Mondays #Seoul #Dongdaemun #doota #shopping #korea #shopping
