This is historical market. Still very energetic.You can buy kids outfit or accessory under 10dollar. Maybe under 5dollar. And there is domestic flower market in the building. Not that big. But its fresh and cheap. They take only cash. Enjoy seoul

The largest traditional style market in Korea. There can be interesting shops to explore and buy from, but the restaurants in particular are great if you like fish or meat. There is also a great dumpling shop as well.
