“We strongly recommend the Daedeok-gu Traditional Market with low prices and overflowing with generosities.”
It is said that those who like to travel prefer to visit traditional markets where one can experience abundance of generosities of shop keepers rather than those situated in modernized and clean malls of the tourist destinations. We recommend you to visit Shintanjin Traditional Market, Jungri Traditional Market and Ojeong-dong Agriculture and Seafood Market when you visit Daedeok-gu. Generous shop keepers will ensure that your hearts are warmed up while your hands will be heavily loaded.
