11 Jan 2020This 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

9 Mar 2020Good deals and rip-offs alike are abound. It is organized into sections for shoes, adults, children, toys, etc. Some of the merchandise is low quality so be careful. It is interesting to just walk and do people watching.

22 May 2020Just as street market should be, crowded, busy, weird things next to the ordinary. And still you feel safe and no one harass you. Remember to bargain! Filled the five as there are also food, fresh for cooking or ready to eat. Love it!
