Insa-dong

it’s all about handy craft and traditional Korea art. There are four storeys up!

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). 🛍🚉

Insadong is a vibrant and culturally rich neighborhood. Known for its traditional hanbok shops, art galleries, and tea houses, it offers a delightful glimpse into Korean heritage.

The Insadong next to Gyeongbokgung Palace is my favorite attraction. It has the same classical tranquility as Gyeongbokgung Palace, and it has added a bit of popularity and vitality due to the attributes of an antique street. Of course, it is not only Myeongdong that must go to shopping in Korea. It is also a recommended shopping point, and it combines shopping, food, clothing, and cosmetics. You can wear Korean clothes here to Gyeongbokgung Palace to take pictures. You can also experience traditional Korean materials, cold noodles, bibimbap here. Compared with Myeongdong, there are not many people in the cosmetics store here, and the clerks can speak Chinese, so there is no need to worry about language barriers.

Near Insidong, there are Insidong Street, Yunxiao Palace, Caoxi Temple, and Puxin Pavilion. We went mainly to Insidong Street this time, and took the subway line 3 Anguo Station Exit 6 and walked for a few steps for 5 or 6 minutes. Insadong Street is a traditional Korean cultural street, you can buy antiques, Korean clothes, traditional handicrafts and other souvenirs; Traditional Korean teahouses on both sides of the street, Korean restaurants with traditional decoration styles, and roadside food stalls selling traditional snacks on the street are a major feature of Insadong. It is also a good choice to eat and go shopping. We bought a lot of souvenirs on the street, basically have to pay cash, ready to shop must bring enough cash, do not leave regrets. 1 hour of rough shopping is basically enough.

Personally think that there is a very artistic Korean shopping place, all the shops on the street are basically handmade crafts, there are paintings, embroidery, mobile phone shells, seals, ceramics, dolls, etc., basically all handmade, too circle money hahaha and the last one in the picture, The cake like poop is very famous here. On the top floor of the address, there is a lot of food in this building. I went at night. It was very late so there was no one. There was still an atmosphere during the day. It was worth a visit.
