Remodelled Vintage site, Shin Heung Art Market

#seoultrip At this location above Haebangchon located at the half hill of Namsan, there lies this vintage old site called Shin Heung Art Market. This site was rather vibrant in the 1970s when there is a boom in textile industry in Korea whereby many tailor shops operated there, until in the 1990s when most of them were industrialized and outsourced to other countries. This place was suddenly abandoned when many moved out due to its very unstrategic location above the hills. But with the recent restoration plan by the government this place was revived again with many trendy shops set to operate in this area. We found the best Thai Food restaurant Pad Ka Paw, a very trendy cafe HB01 and many more shops around here, which gives a very hipster feeling although old and rusty. Visitors to Itaewon can opt to have a short visit here, and with recent revival effects from the town, this place should be a more trendy site for visitors.
