Dongdaemun-gu

Dongdaemun ("great east gate") is the district immediately east of Jongno, famous for the Dongdaemun Market where you can buy discounted brand-name items and outdoor wear/equipment. Also Migliore, another popular shopping sensation is found here, an attraction that is popular with the young. Dongdaemun Stadium is also located in this area. Dongdaemun once served as the main eastern gate, built in 1397, in the wall surrounding Seoul. The gate that is seen today was rebuilt in 1869. A historic landmark to visit while in the area is King Sejong Memorial Hall. This museum serves to honor the king who created the Korean alphabet, Hangeul. Dongdaemun is also known for its nightlife, as the younger crowd is attracted to the late night shops that feature beer, soju, and pop music that blares from the scene.
