Myeong-dong
This is a popular shopping district for tourist, and even locals, it gets very busy and crowded in the evening. Major fashion designers have boutiques here and foreign brand name products and shoe stores can be found in abundance like Guess, CK and also many small boutiques and stalls along the street. Restaurants are mostly on the 2nd floor, and of course there are street food as well.


Things in Myeong-dong are very trendy and has a lot of varieties. Fashion accessories like earings, hair clips etc priced at KRW1,000 (approx RM3) per piece, in some shops, shoes & handbags are KRW10,000 (approx. RM33) across all designs.

Dongdaemun Market
Located in the downtown area, Dongdaemun is another famous wholesale & retail shopping district in Seoul, within the ten blocks of the market area, you can find silks, clothes, shoes, sporting goods, electronics, office supplies, toys and just about everything else imaginable, there’s also underground market near the subway station.

I personally didn’t enjoy shopping here very much, I just don’t seem to find anything that I want because the price is still on the high side for me, or maybe I was too tired on that evening to do shopping? Haha but anyway, it’s still good to look around how Dondaemun shopping area is like.

Namdaemun Market
Shopping in Namdaemun market is a different experience, although it is just nearby Myeong-dong. It has more than 10 department store, selling woman & man apparels, shoes, children clothing, and so on.

But what I like more is the street market, there are so many stalls crowded along the road and it is absolutely right to say that you can find almost anything you want in here. Children shoes, stocking & clothing are so nice, some are slightly expensive but if you are good at searching and bargaining (yes, I was using sign language & calculator as my tool, lol), you’ll be able to get some really nice stuff at unbelievably cheap price. *wink wink*
