SHOPPING AT NAMDAEMUN MARKET


Namdaemun Market is one of the many shopping places people go to in Seoul. We did not spend the time for shopping though and I found the place is suffice for tourists as they were the usual souvenirs that could be bought here at reasonable prices.






There were two types of vendors which ran their business in rows of stalls outside or those that were located in air-conditioned building. I read in blogs that bargaining is not something that is favoured by the traders here but the items put on sale had reasonable prices for tourists already.


























There are many other shopping spots in Seoul, depending on what you want to buy. As for me, I don't really shop when I travel so this visit to the market should be more than enough.

THE SUNGNYEMUN GATE OF SEOUL


This was the second gate that we accidentally came across while walking to Namdaemun Market. It looked bigger than the first one that we saw on the first day and visitors were allowed to get closer to observe the structure. It is actually located right opposite the market, hence it is also known as Namdaemun Gate.
