Exploring Dongdaemun Market

Seoul is home to the biggest market in South Korea. Known as Dongdaemun Market, it is famous for selling just about everything, but specializes in wholesale clothing. The market first opened in 1905 and has continued to grow throughout the years. The main street divides the market into two sections. The first contains huge shopping malls and sells both retail and wholesale and often has English speaking staff. The market is busy all day and is open from 10am in the morning until 5pm the next day. If you’re lucky, you might catch one of the many events put on at the shopping center. The second section deals largely with wholesale and as a result has no changing rooms and exchange/refund policies are not guaranteed so be careful.
