What to do and see in Songpa-gu, South Korea: The Best Shopping

April 11, 2022 Jasper Kershner

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

One of the best tallest buildings I have visited. Very, very modern (opened in 2017), beautiful architecture, very high observation deck (478m), including a nice glass floor section, great views to all Seoul.

One of the best nights I had in Korea. Lets put it this way..... you just have to be willing to go through the hustle and make it work. NO, they don't treat tourists the same but I understand why. This fish market is for locals and they are looking to make money and not entertain. So bring the cash and enjoy an amazing fresh seafood dinner. After you haggle them for the price, they will take it upstairs to the restaurant which they work with and you simple just let them know how you want your meal cooked. That's it. I was so blessed that night with meeting the most amazing Korean's at the table sitting next to me. The night turned out to be a huge 3 hour party. Good Times...
