Located in the heart of Seoul, Myeongdong is a representative
shopping district in Korea. It also houses the headquarters of
banks and securities brokers, and many western and traditional
restaurants. Compared to Namdaemun and Dongdaemun Market which
sell products at low prices, most shops in Myeongdong deal with
mid-level price items. The main street in Myeongdong is lined
with quality brand name shops, while mid-class brand name shops
and no name brand shops are located in the side alleys.
Moreover, large shopping malls like Avatar or Migliore and
department stores are present as well. All kinds of shops and
restaurants are densely located on the main street with lanes
which resemble the shape of a chess board, so it’s advisable to
divide Myeongdong into a few sections in your mind and explore
each section separately. |
