What people are saying:
Start your Seoul journey here at the East Gate. From Dongdaemun head to the market and sample some of Korea's iconic street food. Follow the river and you'll end up in the Myeong-dong shopping area. It makes for a great walking tour!

Introduction
The "Great East Gate" of the medieval walled city of Seoul, Dongdaemun today is best known as a extensive, all-hours fashion market, where shopping for a blazer at 3am can be done with ease, whether in large department stores or in street stalls lining the pavement. The site of Zaha Hadid's Dongdaemun History and Culture Park, it's also one of the best places to view Seoul's aspirations to architectural cutting-edgeness.

Dongdaemun is the "East Gate" of an old Seoul. It is one of The Eight Gates of Seoul in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, a prominent landmark in central Seoul. Near here is the big fashion and design market, known as Dongdaemun Market.

Probably at its most beautiful at night, Dongdaemun, which translates to "east gate" is the hub of all surrounding activity in the neighborhood. If you're full from eating or tired of shopping, this is where you can come to take photos, admire the gate, and take a load off on a nearby bench. Or, if the crowds at the restaurants have gotten you down, get your food to go and eat it near the gate's base.
