Insa-dong

I went to the famous Ssamzigil Shopping Mall (쌈지길) which is filled with artistic items. The nearest station to the mall is the Anguk Station (Exit 6). 🛍🚉

Nice places to hang around besides myeongdong, hongdae. There are many local people in these area. It located near the traditional Korean village, can go after that.

It is an icon building in Insadong. There were many small shops selling different things, from personalised travel luggage tags, costume jewellery, personalised woodcraft for welcoming guests to your house, clothings, eateries, etc. I would say every business is showcasing its uniqueness. And bring more money with you because many of these items are so tempting to own it. Outside this icon building are the streets of houses selling all types of souvenirs, restaurants, and so on. And one of the lane can bring you to the Joygesa Temple too.

The focal point of lively Insadong is its pedestrianized main street, which is crammed with teahouses and Korean eateries, plus shops selling traditional goods like pottery, tea and handmade hanji paper. The offbeat Ssamziegil complex has cozy cafes and mural-lined stairwells leading to a roof terrace, while the Hakgojae gallery shows modern art. Leafy Tapgol Park has a massive stone pagoda. 

Although it seems a little different from the old one, there is only Ningman in Ansadong Street. It's great to see the cute sorrows, see the paintings, and press a bowl of hot rice and a cup of tea at a restaurant lined up in the alleys.
