The 3 Markets You Need to Visit in Seoul

"Because it’s one of the best places in the city to find traditional Korean street food like bindaetteok (crispy deep-fried mung bean pancakes served with a vinegary dipping sauce), soondae (pig’s blood sausage stuffed with sticky rice), and addictive mayak gimbap (a seaweed rice roll made with sesame oil). Once you’ve filled your stomach, it’s time to feast your eyes. The other things Gwangjang is famous for are colorful silk and satin bedding—sold at reasonable off-brand prices—and hanbok shops. The traditional Korean costumes, ranging from $500 to $2,000, are worn at weddings and other special occasions."
