SEOUL'S TOP 5 BEST FOOD MARKETS - South Korea
If you're planning on visiting Seoul and you love markets, food, and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, then you need to check out this video.
I've been going to some of these markets since the 80's and 90's with my Korean relatives, so these places hold sentimental value for me. Besides being just great markets, they're also loaded with tons of food!
TONGIN MARKET (통인시장)
ADDRESS: 8, Jahamun-ro 15-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul
서울특별시 종로구 자하문로15길 18 (통인동)
GOOGLE MAPS:
HOURS: Market is open weekdays 09:00 to 18:00, Saturdays 09:00 to 13:00. Closed on Sundays & holidays.
The Doshirak Cafe closes at 16:00.
Tongin Market was built in 1941 for the Japanese residents that lived around there during the Japanese occupation of Korea. Now it's a small traditional market, with a unique way to experience the market: using Yeobjeon, the traditional brass coins, to fill up your Doshirak lunch tray.
A bundle of 10 coins goes for 5,000 Won. Most dishes cost 2 coins, some small items are only 1 coin. The vendors will have the cost of items listed at their shops.
When you're ready to eat, go to the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Doshirak Cafe, located in the center of the market. They provide free utensils, water, and napkins. You can also buy a bowl of rice and/or soup, for 2 coins each.
GYEONGDONG MARKET (경동시장)
ADDRESS:147, Wangsan-ro, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul
서울특별시 동대문구 왕산로 147 (제기동)
GOOGLE MAPS:
HOURS: Herbal Medicine Market 09:00-19:00
Traditional Market 04:00-19:00 (varies by store)
This market is one of the largest markets in Seoul, dating back to right after the Korean War when many of the countryside farmers would gather in the city to sell their produce.
This place is huge, and is equivalent to the size of 5 World Cup soccer stadiums.
You can buy any type of food here: vegetables, fruits, all types of meats, seafood, etc. This place is great for grocery shopping for cheap!
There's also the Herbal Medicine Market, which is the largest herbal market in all of South Korea. You can find all types of Hankyak (한약), which is traditional Korean medicine, here.
GWANGJANG MARKET (광장시장)
ADDRESS: 88, Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
서울특별시 종로구 창경궁로 88 (예지동)
GOOGLE MAPS:
HOURS: General stores 08:30-18:00, Restaurants 08:30-23:00.
Most of the market is closed on Sundays, but lots of the street food vendors will still be open.
Gwangjang Market is a textiles and fabric market, that just so happens to house one of the largest traditional Korean street food areas in the city. You can fulfill all your traditional Korean street food fantasies here: tons of tteokbokki, bibimbap, the famous narcotic kimbap, bindaetteok, fried foods, etc.
The market is also famous for Yukhoe (육회), which is essentially Korean raw beef tartare. It's strips of fresh beef, mixed with egg yolk, sesame oil, on top a bed of sliced Asian pears. Mix it all together and enjoy!
NAMDAEMUN MARKET (남대문시장)
ADDRESS: 21, Namdaemunsijang 4-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul
서울특별시 중구 남대문시장4길 21 (남창동)
GOOGLE MAPS:
HOURS: Everyday, with a short break between 5pm ~ 10pm for the overnight vendors. I recommend mid-morning or early-afternoon.
Namdaemun Market is the largest traditional Korean market still in operation in the entire country! There are over 10,000 individual vendors!
Make sure to visit the Noodle Alley and Hairtail fish Alley and you MUST TRY the yachae hotteok or ggul hotteok snacks at Gate 2 on the north side of the market.
MAJANG MEAT MARKET (마장 축산물시장)
ADDRESS: 40, Majang-ro 31-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul
서울특별시 성동구 마장로31길 40 (마장동)
GOOGLE MAPS:
HOURS: Weekdays 03:00-23:00, closed every first and third Sunday of the month.
Majang Meat Market is the best place to buy Hanwoo beef, as well as other types of meats. It's roughly 30% cheaper here than anywhere else!
Make sure to eat some BBQ at the BBQ alley at the north entrance (click map link to see that entrance location).

Watch more Korean food videos:
On Day 17 of our trip to South Korea, we took a day trip to Jeongeup and visited the old house of Gim Dong-su, had a fantastic bowl of pork ribs stew, and a healthy Korean herbal tea.
00:24 Gim Dong-su House - This is a historical preserved home of Gim Dong-su who was a wealthy man. You can walk around his house and see how the elite formerly lived in Korea. Also, next door there is the Gwon Beon Culture and Art Academy, and we saw some traditional dance and enjoyed some traditional Korean tea.
5:11 Paepijeong (배비정) Restaurant - For lunch we drove over to a city called Jeongeup and went to a restaurant to eat pork ribs stew. The restaurant was old Korean style with the wonderful barrel can tables. It took a few minutes to prepare our food because the entire hot pot of pork ribs stew was made from scratch as we ordered it. It was well worth it, the meat was good and the mixture of all the ingredients was delicious and home tasting. Price - 10,000 Won ($8.68) per person.
9:31 Mu Du Rang - 7,000 Won ($6.08) per cup - Ssanghwa cha (쌍화차) - Jeongeup is famous throughout South Korea for its healthy herbal teas and drinks made from herbs. So we stopped at a cafe and had a delicious healthy tea that was made with twenty different ingredients.
12:53 Naejangsan National Park - 3,000 Won ($2.60) - Naejangsan National Park is a national park in South Korea that’s famous for its maple trees. We walked around for a while and visited the temple. Again, the nature in Korea is beautiful, and the maple trees, in full green and yellow colors, were beautiful.
14:45 Sangchu Twigim (상추튀김) Restaurant - For dinner we drove back to Jeonju and we went to a Korean snacks food restaurant called Sangchu Twigim (상추튀김). We ordered some of the most popular Korean snacks including gimbap, twigim, and some fish soups. The food was pretty good, but honestly I’m not a huge fan of Tteokbokki. Total price - 17,000 Won ($14.76) for everything.

Naejangsan National Park
Venue: NAEJANGSAN NATIONAL PARK
One day trip with my university friends and had a well spent saturday with them!
Naejangsan national park is located near Jeongeup bus terminal and it took us one hour to reach from Gwangju city.
There was a cable car service available for 8000KRW (Return) while 5500KRW (ONE WAY). *Personally prefer ONE WAY because you can take a cable car up to the top and climb down slowly to the beautiful temple!

조용하던 시골 마을이 떠들썩합니다. 올해로 처음 열린 엉겅퀴텃밭문화축제 때문인데요. 자연음식연구가인 김현희 씨가 고향에 내려와 엉겅퀴를 연구한 지 3년. 우리 정읍의 시민들과 감곡의 어르신들을 모시고서 엉겅퀴 김치도 같이 맛보고 또 엉겅퀴 요리를 만들어보고 꽃구경도 하면서 힐링하고자 자리를 만들었습니다. 마을주민들과 함께 작은 텃밭을 가꾸며 축제를 열었습니다. 색깔도 곱고 기분이 좋아요. 보라색 꽃이 아름다운 엉겅퀴는 5~6월에 채취해서 사용하는데요. 엉겅퀴를 이용한 효소 만드는 방법. 잘 손질한 엉겅퀴에 설탕과 물을 붓기만 하면 끝. 시럽은 전체 무게에 한 3~40%만 넣어주시면 되고요. 엉겅퀴는 어느 것 하나 버릴 것이 없는데요. 효소뿐만 아니라 된장, 고추장, 차로 즐길 수 있습니다. 여러분들 앞에 놓여있는 엉겅퀴는 가시 엉겅퀴예요. 쌉싸래한 엉겅퀴 김치도 일품입니다.

뜨거운 여름. 평균 30도를 웃도는 무더위가 기승을 부리는 요즘. 우리 지역 곳곳에 가까우면서도 시원하게 물놀이를 즐길 수 있는 야외 물놀이장이 문을 열었습니다. 특히 더위에 약한 아이들이 참 좋아한다는데요. 칠보물테마유원지는 물테마전시관 및 바닥분수, 폭포, 어린이 놀이터 등의 시설을 갖추고 있고 특히 깨끗한 물을 자랑하는 풀장을 가지고 있습니다. 에어컨과 선풍기만으로 해소 되지 않는 더위를 확 날려버릴 야외 물놀이장. 아이들 허리 정도 밖에 되지 않기 때문에 어린이들도 안전하게 즐길 수 있습니다. 이곳 한 켠에는 물의 이야기를 만나 볼 수 있는 체험관도 마련되어 있는데요. 시원한 물놀이를 즐기고 물레를 배울 수 있는 이곳 많게는 하루 2천여 명이 찾아올 만큼 인기가 아주 좋습니다.

Korea Jeonbuk Wanju Daedunsan Mountain Hike
A range of Noryeong mountain goes towards the Mangyeong plain in Gimje and forms an independent group of mountains, creating a scenic masterpiece. It is Daedunsan (Mt.). This mountain is also called Sogeumgang (Little Geumgang) in Honam. It forms wonderful rock peaks such as Chilseongbong (Peak) and Janggunbong (Peak) mixed with several mountain ranges that stretch out all around including Macheondae (878m), the summit of this mountain. The physical aspect is beautiful and graceful, harmonized with rocks like Samseonbawi (Rock), Yongmungul (Cave), Geumgangmun (Gate) and trees all around.

함라산을 두르고 계절과 함께 초록이 짙어가는 익산시 웅포면. 금강과 맞닿아 있는 봉화산 자락에 녹차를 만날 수 있는 숨은 명소가 있다는데요. 아니나 다를까 녹차 향기 따라 먼저 도착해 있는 부지런한 손길들이 있습니다. 아니 지금 서 있기조차 힘든데 익산에 이렇게 넓은 녹차밭이 있었어요? 이곳이 익산시 웅포면 입점리 거든요. 우리나라에서 최북단 녹파밭이라고 굉장히 유명한 곳입니다. 따뜻하고 비가 충분한 곳을 좋아하는 녹차. 몇 년 전만 해도 녹차의 재배 한계선은 전북 김제, 정읍으로 알려져 있었는데요. 2009년 익산 웅포면에 자생 녹차밭이 알려지면서 그 한계선이 끌어 올려 졌습니다. 창처럼 뾰족한 모양의 싹을 중심으로 잎이 하나 난 것이 일창일기. 잎이 두 개 더 나 있으면 일창이기 라고 불리는데요. 가장 좋은 맛을 내는 잎이라고 합니다. 잎의 모양을 천천히 살펴봐야 하기 때문에 속도를 내기가 생각보다 쉽지 않더라고요. 아니 그런데 지금 녹차가 수확할 시기인가요? 녹차의 수확 시기는 4월 말부터 6월까지 해요. 처음 나온 싹, 아까 일창일기, 일창이기 따셨죠? 그 찻잎을 따서 만든 차가 우전 또는 첫물차라고 합니다. 여기에 아리따운 여성분이. 안녕하세요? 한국 분이 아니시죠? 어디서 왔어요? 중국에서 왔어요. 한국과 중국, 일본의 차 문화는 조금씩 다른데 한국의 차 문화를 배우러 왔어요. 이곳에서 친구들과 차도 마시고 하면서 한국 차에 대해서 이해하게 됐습니다. 꼬박 반나절을 차밭에서 보내고서야 한 바구니를 가득 채울 수 있었는데요. 녹차를 만나기 위한 본격적인 과정은 이제 시작이라네요.
