Located in between Myeongdong & City Hall area, there are lots of cheap items (eg. autumn/winter clothes from 3000 won onwards😲). There are a lot of people (mainly locals) even though it's a weekday afternoon. However, due to the huge area and lack of time, we are only able to cover a small portion of the market. There are around 3-4 stores clustered around one of the streets, mainly selling the Halloween party items with some looking quite realistic. Really cool with lots of choices if you are interested 😉

Namdaemun-Ro Road BBQ 🇰🇷 Korea

#seoultrip In Korea it's BBQ time. BBQ meat, kimchi, lettuce, pink salt, mustard seeds, wasabi, meat pancakes, bimlimbap, bulgogi and all the small plates too. We went to two different BBQ restaurants in Namdaemun-Ro Gil 1, which is located next to the Courtyard by Marriott hotel. The street is fairly quiet until around 14:00, but afterwards and late into the evening it's a great spot to grab food and a beer. There is a nice balance between locals and tourists and the specials on the wall are definitely worth asking about. I'd highly recommend taking a walk down here after walking through Myeong Dong to chill out and eat too much!

🇰🇷 Korean Sashimi place hidden in market

#wheretogo This place is a long established Namdaemun Market’s specialty that’s unknown for foreigners but very popular among the Korean peeps. The whole setting is really like what we have seen from the Korean drama, very down to earth, traditional and not fancy. But you would be hooked once you give it a try. You can see a generous plate of sashimi on every table and that’s what they are famous for. First of all, the sashimi was plump, chewy and satisfying. The red pepper paste that served on the table is homemade. The generous side dish here is delicious. #foodie #timetotravel #seoulfun

6 years Ginseng wholesale Market

21 Namdaemunsijang 4-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea The Namdaemun Market is one of the oldest market in Seoul. They offer all range of goods. We went to the section where it sells Ginseng. Many of the shops are selling six years old ginseng at a very reasonable price. Each cost about less than ten dollars. When I asked the owner of one of the shop, he introduced me to a larger ginseng which is a more premium range. The price is about thirty to fourty singapore dollars each. The Ginseng is very fat and healthy. Korea grow red ginseng hence this is one of the place you can get the most authentic and affordable ginseng. The market is few minutes walk from the nearest train station. #bucketlistreboot

South Koreas army pots and spicy rice cakes are all true roadside stalls. Surrounded by a snoring around the stall, I ate a pot of red hot, hot and sweet rice cake, and happiness suddenly came. Of course, Seouls roadside stalls are not only spicy rice cakes, but also the local characteristics. Whether its in Bukchon Hanok Village or in the clothing market, you can always find these Korean old aunts in the humble corner. The small shop, although small, is clean and tastes not lost.
