#citywalk Myeongdong is one of the Korea's famous shopping and fashion districts in Seoul. You can find many local, international brands and department stores as you walk along the two main streets beginning from Myeong-dong Subway Station and Eulji-ro Subway Station. Walking around Myeongdong is a pleasant experience as many parts of the district are pedestrian-friendly. As night falls, the area turns into a buzzling night market with many street food vendors lining the streets. Below are some of my personal must-do's in Myeongdong: 1) HBAF Almond Flagship Store I bought the giant pack with 22 different flavours in mini packets. Do drop by this largest HBAF store to sample some of the flavours! 2) Daiso You can find the largest Daiso store with 12 floors near Myeongdong subway station. There is also another underground store near Myeongdong walking street. 3) Myeongdong Kyoja Michelin restaurant that you should not miss. 4) Fried Chicken with beer There are many similar restaurants in Myeongdong. We tried Kkanbu Chicken. 5) Korean Cosmetics Stores You can find all the Korean cosmetic brands in Myeongdong. However I found that the smaller stores tend to offer better deals than the major flagship stores. #korea #southkorea #seoul #myeongdong #shopping #walkingstreets #market #nightmarket #tripblazers #daiso #friedchicken

Our go-to eatery during our time in Seoul was Myeongdong Tteokbokki—an establishment that held a special place in our hearts. Conveniently located right next to our hotel, we strolled past it every day. My mother, a fan of Pojangmacha (Korean street stalls), was drawn to its affordability and diverse range of offerings. Additionally, her penchant for Korean dramas inspired her to dine in the same tented spots often depicted in those shows. :D At Sinsegae Tteokbokki, we discovered some of the most delectable Tteokbokki I have ever tasted. Their fried mandu was equally remarkable. To be honest, I was taken aback by the tenderness of the rice cake. As someone who isn't typically fond of rice cake due to its chewiness and lack of flavour, I found this particular Tteokbokki to be perfectly cooked. Although it was a bit spicier than I prefer, its addictive nature kept me indulging in more! Address: 10 Myeongdong 9-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea Highlights: Tteokbokki, Fried Mandu Price: $$ #seoul

Are you a subscriber to Pungja Ttogangjip? This is a channel I've been watching a lot lately. They introduce local and neighborhood favorites. Myeongdong office workers' pick 'Ranju Kalmyeon' I thought this place was real! I visited. I tried Dosakmyeon for the first time, and it was like eating Jjajangmyeon with thick hand-cut noodlesㅋㅋ The Guo Bao Rou was a little spicy..! It was really delicious. However, since there's a waiting line, expectations can get too high, but if I have to wait more than an hour, I think I'll go to another placeㅎㅎ #March Travel Support Grant Event

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #SouthKoreaTravel #myeongdong 📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered it. If you come to Seoul, South Korea and don't stop by Myeongdong, you're missing out. Myeongdong is an old shopping district with tours and small shops on every corner, including underground shops and those that require an elevator. But first, check in at Myeongdong Cathedral, the most important church in South Korea. Stop by to try some street food that is sold in the evening. There are also many restaurants. Let's continue with our bags, shoes, and cosmetics.

#Cherry Blossom2024 The street full of strawberries 🍓The cherry blossom pattern indicates that winter is coming and spring is coming. One of the best things to do in cold Seoul is to eat barbecue and drink beer🍺. Seoul is a high-consumption area. Most BBQ restaurants sell 100-200 grams of BBQ for 12,000 won. If you want to have a satisfying meal with fresh meat, I personally highly recommend this one at Myeongdong Exit 6 #ridiculous Korean BBQ or #ridiculouskoreanbbq all you can eat is so worth it. The price of the store is shown in the picture.

This is a hidden gem located at the quieter side of myeongdong. Is a must visit during fall as you can window watch the beautiful yellow ginkgo trees ! This is also a famous spot for its premium handmade dessert.On the first floor you can find decadent and delicious desserts such as financier , fir tiramisu , macaron etc. You will do the ordering at L1 and you can sit anywhere in L2! of course the window seating is very popular so first come first serve basis. 📍The Spot Fabulous Open daily from 10-10pm#seoulcafe #autumn #hiddengems #fallishere

Address: 22 Myeongdong 2-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, South Korea Opening hours: 10am to 10.30pm everyday Awesome cafe in Myeongdong area, located directly opposite Lotte Young Plaza and along the street famous for money exchangers. It occupies 2 floors in this old building, and you will have to place order at the ground floor before going up to upstairs to get a table. You will collect your order upstairs so there is no need to navigate the stairs again. This cafe has awesome pasties and there is no minimum order. But you have to find your own seats and the staff will not help you. #fallishere #southkorea #seoul #liveyourdreams #takethattrip
