Ssamziegil:Pop shopping

Ssamziegil:Pop shopping

 

In the buoyant neighborhood of Insa-dong, a new area extending up to 500m opened up on December 18, 2004. Ssamziegil has been marked as the 'Special Insa-dong within Insa-dong'. This unique area was designed in such a way by connecting its charming alleys in the form of a spiral-like stairway. As you do your window-shopping through the lovely, cozy stores all the way to the top, you will arrive at Haneulmadang where you can get a extraordinarily clear view of the sky. Ssamziegil covers 42,700sq. ft. (1,200 pyeongs) with over 70 shops including handicraft stores, souvenir shops, art galleries, restaurants, and more.
