DONGDAEMUN

Shops are open till about four or five in the morning, catering to the insomniac shopaholics. Dongdaemun is huge, and I’m not even kidding—there are 5 shopping districts! Did I mention that they sell everything? Clothes, shoes, bags, food, and even bed linens and wedding paraphernalia! Retailers walk around choosing pieces for their stores, while tourists and locals hunt for the best bargains. Even better are the little street stalls in front of the huge shopping malls, where everything is extra affordable! Be sure to bargain though, especially in the malls.
