Sorry its been 2 months after my journey in Korea then now i got a free time to start blogging again. During the fifth day of my Korea journey we went to Nandaemun,Apgujeong the rodeo fashion street and last but not least... Namsan Tower which is very fascinated place!
Nandaemun Market
Namdaemun Market is one of the oldest continually running markets in South Korea, and one of the largest retail markets in Seoul. The streets in which the market is located were built in a time when cars were not prevalent, so the market itself is not accessible by car. The main methods of transporting goods into and out of the market are by motorcycle and hand-drawn carts. It occupies many city blocks, which are blocked off from most car traffic due to the prevalence of parking congestion in the area. The market can be accessed by subway or bus; the location is within a 10 minute walk from Seoul metropolitan station and is even closer to the subway Hoehyeon Station, Line 4.
Much of the market is outside, but there are also many stores which line the streets. Many retailers buy their items, particularly clothing, at wholesale prices at Namdaemun, to resell in their own stores in other cities. Namdaemun is a popular tourist attraction.
It is the place if u want to shop like hell, the price is cheap, bargaining place and more. Its just the same like Petaling Street but the different are the quality is better than petaling and bigggggerr for surelaaa..
Apgujeong-dong
Apgujeong-dong is a residential, fashion and shopping district in the Gangnam district of Seoul. The dong originates from a pavilion with the same name founded by Han Myeong-hoe (Hangul:한명회 Hanja:韓明會 1415 - 1487), a high-ranking government officer during the Joseon dynasty.It currently contains many upscale department stores, shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants.
Here is the place where usually celebreties hang out and shopping, but it was too bad, we didn't see them. Besides that, u can see Galeria, DKNY and others which I couln't remember. The place to shop is quite far from the subway station anf its not worth to go here, so guys no need to waste your time.. Skip this in ur itinerary..
Namsan Tower
N Seoul Tower is a communication and observation tower located in Namsan Mountain, central Seoul, South Korea. Built in 1969, at a cost of approximately $2.5 million, and opened to the public in 1980, the tower has been a symbol of Seoul and measures 236.7 m (777 ft) in height (from the base) and tops out at 479.7 m (1,574 ft) above sea level. It has also been known as the Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower. After the tower's original owner merged with the CJ Corporation, it was renamed the N Seoul Tower (official name CJ Seoul Tower).
Many visitors ride the Namsan cable car up the mountain, and then walk to the tower. The tower features a gift shop and restaurants on the ground floor. Visitors may go up the tower for a fee. There are four observation decks (the 4th observation deck, which is the revolving restaurant, rotates at a rate of one revolution every 48 minutes), as well as gift shops and two restaurants. Most of the city of Seoul can be seen from the top. Close to N Seoul Tower is a second lattice transmission tower.
This the place u should go when u come to Korea, a place must to visit. Namsan tower! In order to go here, there are few methods, but all of it is difficult one, u have to walk and climb for about 15 minutes to get to cable car.. The easiest way, use taxi and straight to the cable car station,then it will take u directly to the tower.
When come here, dont forget to bring ur lockpad! If not, seriously u will regret! But dont worry, u can buy it at the shop near there..
