Hotel Tong travel information-Insadong


Insa-dong (인사동), located in the heart of the city, is an important place where old but precious and traditional goods are on display. There is one main road in Insa-dong with alleys on each side. Within these alleys are galleries, traditional restaurants, traditional teahouses, and cafes.

The galleries are the heartbeat of Insa-dong. There are about 100 galleries in the area and you can see every example of traditional Korean fine art from paintings to sculptures. The most famous galleries are Hakgojae Gallery, which functions as the center of folk art, Gana Art Gallery, which promotes many promising artists, and Gana Art Center.

The teahouses and restaurants are the perfect complement to the galleries. At first they might be hard to find, but if you take the time to stroll around the twisting alleyways, the window shopping in itself can be very entertaining. The shops in Insa-dong are very popular among all age groups, because each one is unique.

Every Saturday from 14:00 – 22:00 and Sunday from 10:00 – 22:00, some streets are blocked off from traffic and it becomes a cultural space. Stores set up booths outside and others set up shops (Korean candy merchants and fortune tellers.) There are traditional performances and exhibits as well. Insa-dong is especially popular with foreign tourists. This is where they can experience and see traditional Korean culture firsthand, and also purchase pieces of fine art. On the street you can eat Korean taffy and traditional pajeon (Korean pancake), and see many foreigners lost in all the joyous festivities of the street.

Dongdaemun is one of the best shopping districts in Seoul with its diverse shopping destinations from street stores to large malls. Its grandness features very long shopping stretches with each area typically dedicated to one specific type of item. One major area of the mall or market can offer all kinds of footwear, another can offer all sorts of fashionable clothes, and so on.
Traveling around Dongdaemun provides endless options for shopping spots. In fact, it's impossible to really visit each and every shopping area in this district for just one day. It is advisable to wear comfortable clothes and footwear when shopping in the area. 

Transportation:  Subway

The Seoul subway's Dongdaemun Station serves a common station shared by two subway lines; while the nearby Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station (formerly Dongdaemun Stadium Station) serves a common station shared by three subway lines.
When going to the Dongdaemun Station, you can use the Dark Blue Line (Seoul Subway Line 1, station number 128) or the Blue Line (Seoul Subway Line 4, station number 421). You can transfer to any of these two subway lines to get to your other destinations in Seoul. This subway station is close to one part of the Dongdaemun Market.
When going to the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station, you can use the Green Line (Seoul Subway Line 2, station number 205), the Blue Line (Seoul Subway Line 4, station number 422), or the Purple Line (Seoul Subway Line 5, station number 536). You can transfer to any of these three subway lines to get to your other destinations. This subway station is close to the old Dongdaemun Stadium and the huge Dongdaemun Market district which surrounds the station. The nearby Dongdaemun Station is located just north across Cheonggyecheon from here.

The area around Dongdaemun known as the Dongdaemun Market includes upscale shopping districts, malls, underground shops, street stalls, and market places. Many of them are open even during the wee hours of dawn.
The Dongdaemun Market was traditionally a night market where wholesalers were open for business from 1:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Today, the area is practically open 24 hours a day. Some areas are open from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day. Most stores are closed during Mondays and certain holidays.
The Dongdaemun Market showcases about 26 shopping malls covering over 10 blocks. There are about 30,000 specialty shops and about 50,000 different manufacturers within the area. Commercial establishments sell various types of goods including clothes, shoes and leather products, silks and fabrics, sporting goods, plumbing and electronics items, office supplies, fortune telling goods, toys, and Korean food and other traditional items. Pet lovers also frequently visit pet shops around the area. There are many dining establishments all over Dongdaemun as well.
The main street divides the Dongdaemun Market into two sections. The first section is on the side near the Doosan Tower while the other section is on the side of the Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Park, the old site of the Dongdaemun Stadium.
The first section primarily sells wholesale and retail goods, mostly catering to general customers and tourists doing retail shopping. Tourists can take advantage of many money exchange facilities and tourist information desks with English speaking staff within this section of the market. General shops are open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day.
Major shopping malls in this side of the Dongdaemun Market include the Doosan Tower, Migliore, Freya Town, and Hello apM.
While commercial establishments on the second section also sell goods both for wholesale and retail, this section of the market mainly focuses in bulk sales. Many shops are usually open from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. the next day. Peak hours for shopping is by late night to early morning.
Major shopping malls in this side of the Dongdaemun Market include the Designer's Club, Migliore Valley, Nuzzon, Gwanghee Fashion Mall, Jeil Pyeonghwa, and Heungin Stardom. Designer's Club, Migliore Valley, Nuzzon, and Gwanghee Fashion Mall attract more teen and young adult shoppers; while Jeil Pyeonghwa and Heungin Stardom attract more shoppers in their thirties and forties.

Daehangno, known as the street for young people, is the former location of Seoul National University. In the 1980s, many theater groups started moving to Daehangno, and it soon developed into a cultural center. In a short period of time liv...e-cafes, movie theaters, regular cafes and pubs sprung up, and it grew into an
entertainment district. Its popularity is still maintained by famous small theaters such as Parangsae (Blue Bird) Theater and Hakjeong Theater, and some 30 additional theaters have concentrated here contributing to keeping Daehangno as the root-center of performance art in Korea. The center of Daehangno, Marronnier Park, has frequent live performances or dance performances by young people. This is the reason Daehangno is called the “Play Mecca” or “Young Street” as well. Another reason Daehangno became so popular with young people is the various interesting sights and food to be found here. Many restaurants, fast food joints, cafes, and bars are concentrated here, making it convenient for people to find something to do after plays and live-performances. Its unique atmosphere and space continues to be beloved by many young people.

Gwangjang Market (also known as KwangJang Market) is one of Korea's largest traditional markets as well as Korea's oldest market with over 100 years of history. Although Gwangjang Market is not as well known as Namdaemun Market and Dongdaemun Market among tourists, it is heralded by locals as the place to go for quality silk goods, bedding, fabric, hanbok, kitchenware and clothing sold at both wholesale and retail prices. But of the various things that Gwangjang Market is famous for, the thing that brings crowds of people every week is the food. You can eat a number of delicious items at the market including Mayak Gimbap(마약김밥),hoe (회; raw fish or sashimi), juk (죽; porridge), sundaeguk (순대국; blood sausage soup), bibimbap (비빔밥), tteokbokki (떡볶이; stir-fried rice cakes) and more.





The biggest of the three food alleys is Jeon Alley, running a length of about 30 meters starting from the entrance of the market. Although this may sound quite long for such a humble food alley, several stores and stalls are crammed in along the length of it, making the idea of personal space a laughable matter. But regardless of the fact that eating here means being crammed shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, there won't be a single person in the whole lot with a scowl on their face. And that's because their mouths are too busy happily munching away at bindaetteok and other varieties of jeon, or too busy gulping down bowls full of makgeolli. The combination of jeon and makgeolli is so universally enjoyed you'll see all kinds of people eating here. Office workers looking to de-stress and grab a bite to eat on the way home to students on a budget, from foreigners and tourists looking to try a taste of real Korea to ajummas and ajusshis re-fueling their energy after a day of hiking, Jeon Alley is popular with people of all ages and all backgrounds.


What is the Bindaetteok?

Bindaetteok (빈대떡), also called nokdujeon or nokdu jijim, is a variety of jeon that literally means "mung bean pancake". Bindaetteok batter is made of ground mung beans and meat (usually beef or pork), kimchi, and various vegetables are added according to taste. It is typically served with a small side serving of dipping sauce made of ganjang (Korean soy sauce), minced green onions, gochugaru (red chili pepper flakes) and some vinegar.































What is Yukhoe?

Yukhoe is essentially Korean steak tartare. It is a variety of hoe (회; raw dishes in Korean cuisine) made from raw ground beef seasoned with various spices or sauces, usually soy sauce, sugar, salt, sesame oil, spring onions, minced garlic, sesame seeds, black pepper and julienned bae (배; Korean pear). A raw egg yolk is usually added, served either on top of the dish or separately on the side, and pine nuts may be added as well. Yukhoe is most commonly eaten as an anju (안주; dishes that accompany alcoholic beverages).



Yukhoe Alley in Gwangjang Market is definitely not as big as Jeon Alley; it consists of only 5 or so restaurants clustered together. That might not seem like much, but its the quality of the food that draws crowds of people here. The restaurants here use only the freshest, premium quality cuts of beef, unlike many other yukhoe restaurants that use previously frozen beef. In order to guarantee only the freshest cuts of beef to their customers, these restaurant owners wake up at the crack of dawn to buy their meat directly from cattle markets and prepare the meat themselves. It is due to their diligence and desire to serve the best quality food that this alley sees hordes of people on the weekends.




Mayak Gimbap Alley" instead of just "Gimbap Alley"? Well "mayak" (마약) means narcotics, or drugs, in Korean. In Korea, when something is so delicious that you find yourself looking to eat it again and again like an addiction, the word "mayak" is added to the food's name when referring to it. This word usage started relatively recently in popular culture, but perhaps it all started from the name of this alley seeing as though this food alley has been around for over 40 years! Like Yukhoe Alley, Mayak Gimbap Alley is very small, made up of about 5 restaurants or so. But as the name of the alley suggests, the food is so addictive people always come back for more!

For some, seeing a plate of mayak gimbap for the first time may be a disappointing experience. From the outside, mayak gimbap doesn't appear any different from any other gimbap. In fact, mayak gimbap looks even less exciting than regular gimbap because it usually only comes with the very basic ingredients of rice, carrots, spinach and danmuji. But all traces of doubt will disappear the moment you take your first bite. Because although the ingredients are very simple, they are packed with loads of flavor. And for an extra kick, dip the mayak gimbap into some spicy mustard sauce! You probably won't be thinking about eating any more mayak gimbap once you're stuffed full, but believe me, there will come a time when you can't stop thinking about it, and like an addiction you'll be coming back for more!

How to Get There

Take subway line 1 to Jongno 5(o)-ga Station and go out exit 11. Walk towards Jongno 4-ga Rotary, going around the outside of Gwangjang Market, and enter the market through the second west gate (광장시장 서2문). You should see a sign for Mayak Gimbap Alley.
