[2025 Seoul Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Gyeongdong Market (Updated Mar)

Yes I am at the local market and this is not the popular tourist Gwangjang market. This is the Gyeongdong market and you can take the subway and alight at Jegi-dong station and use exit 2 to enter the market. This market closed at 6pm and I was a bit too late when I arrived here. The stallholders were already closing their stores and doing cleaning. However my main motive was to visit a hidden cafe at this market. There are several sections here n you won’t be able to find it easily. You can use the navigation app and still miss it. But once you see my trip moments, you will know it next time. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Recently, Black and White Chef’s popular wet market Auntie’s Andong Soup Noodles without Menu is located in Jingdong Market. The market is like a small maze and it is not easy to find. Fortunately, a caring local Korean uncle led us to this place. We entered immediately upon arrival and within 10 minutes a group of people lined up. I ordered Andong noodle soup, three-layer pork, cabbage pancakes and various side dishes in total. The seasonings were very good, and the cabbage pancakes and three-layer pork were my favorites. If you happen to be passing by, it’s worth a try👍 #foodlover #黑白 Chef

#dreamdestination This is Gyeongdong Market. Gyeongdong Market sells a lot of things. You can make unique memories in Korea. I especially recommend the food! If you want to enjoy Korea, visit Gyeongdong Market😍😉

There is a free museum at the entrance of Starbucks at Gyeongdong market. It shows the gadgets used in South Korea back in 1970s and they all looked similar to the museum display in Singapore. It look like in Asia, most of the gadgets and daily lives are more about the same. They even have the olden style of TV and and washing machines. Most of these appliances are produced in South Korea and it is special to see it here at Gyeongdong market. It really brightens up the market after it closes. #wheretogo #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

1036 Jegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul The Gyeongdong market is located 10 minutes walk from the Jegi-dong train station. Walk towards exit 2 towards the market. The opening hours are from 9am to 6pm. The best time would be to go at 4pm onwards, as the weather is not too hot, and they might have some sales towards the closing. The market seems to be one of the oldest and one of the better ones. Apart from ginseng, the market also has many stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also get local spices, herbs, and locally grown fruits from the market. It is definitely a must visit market to explore their local cultures. #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #meetseoul
