Korea Shopping Tips Summary Bookmark this Korea travel guide to follow the easy way to play Korea
Myeongdong or Namsan Tower is one of the must-visit places in the various Korea shopping travel guides. But these places are a bit overdeveloped and less authentic Korean, so today we are going to introduce the popular places that can satisfy both your desire to chop and your stomach~
Stop 1: Gwangjang Market
The first is Gwangjang Market, a traditional Korean market located in Jongno district, which many domestic tourists know because it was recorded here by the “Running Brothers”. Gwangjang Market is one of the most famous traditional food streets in Korea, with rows of steaming hot traditional snacks that are a real hit with the taste buds! You have to eat raw beef and mung bean cakes here, and eating raw beef opens the door to a new world!
Stop 2: Yulangjin Fish Market
Korea is rich in seafood, and the Herongyangjin Fish Market in Seoul is probably the most famous of them all. If you like to eat sashimi, you can’t miss it! There are many different types of sashimi available in Korea, and sometimes they are only available at certain times, so don’t miss out if they are in season!
Stop 3: Bukchon Hanok Village
After a good meal, you’ll want a cup of coffee to refresh your brain, and Bukchon Hanok Village is the place to go. What’s more, it’s also a great place to take photos and post them to your friends! Since this is a shopping guide for Korea, we have to mention the unique shops around Bukchon, where you can buy quaint souvenirs~!
Stop 4: Korea Duty Free
Here comes the best part of the Korea shopping guide! You must visit the New World Duty Free in Myeongdong! This duty free shop is one of the top three duty free shops in Korea, with a wide range of brands, so you can buy anything you want here, and every time you visit Korea, you will buy a bunch of things here to take home. The good thing about the Myeongdong shop is that it has a wide range of products and it’s easy to shop. I bought FIBRENO, a niche Korean bag brand that I’ve wanted to buy for a long time!
If you go to a duty free shop, you don’t have to worry about the language problem! There are Chinese guides inside, so there will be no communication barriers. If you go to the duty free shops, you will find that the domestic counter prices are really expensive, so you have to grab the opportunity to pull out all the weeds you have planted!
Stop 5: Guanghuamen Square
Apart from good food and shopping, if you want to experience the traditional Korean culture, then this is the best time to wear Korean costumes~ There are many Korean costume rental shops near Gwanghwamun, and it’s a great option to wear traditional Korean costumes and take a picture at Gwanghwamun Square at night! Gwanghwamun at night is the highlight of Seoul’s night scene, so you won’t be disappointed if you go there once!
The above is today’s shopping guide to Korea… promise me you’ll have fun when the epidemic subsides!
