Shopping in Korea


For those who like the night-life, South Korea will prove to be a haven. There are a lot of restaurants and bars filled with people even long after working hours. Seoul has two major divisions: the North of the Han River, which is called Kang Buk. This part of the Seoul has a lot of historical tourist spots and shopping areas. The other division south of the Han River, is called Kang Nam. This place offers the high-class city life luxuries, expensive shopping districts and restaurants. In a place called Apgujoung-dong, people can expect the fad from the young and the hip Koreans.

If shopping is the name of the game, Dongdaemun is the place to be. Other shopping centers include Doota and Pyungwa Sijang. From clothes to food, one can buy all sorts of things at affordable prices all night long. Insadong is the place to go to for Korean souvenirs. The small shops that line narrow streets make Insadong famous.
