Hi I am going to introduce Seoul's markets at night.
Seoul has many kinds of markets.
Because Seoul is the korean biggest city, many traditional markets are here in Seoul.
Sometimes I like to shopping and eating foods in traditional market more than supermarket.
If you want to know korean people real lifes, foods and whatever...
I think traditional market is the best place to know that.

Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market
Here is Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market. Noryangjing Wholesale Fisheries Market is well known in Korea as one of the
largest seafood markets in the country. The market is lined with rows and rows
of seafood, much of which is packed and distributed to various supermarkets,
restaurants and stores around the city. The best part of the market, however, is
the innermost row in the building, which extends along the back wall of the
warehouse. I really like to go here because I can buy fresh fishes and sea foods with cheap price. And here clerks are very kind. I like to talk with them. I just ate big shirmps in here with my university friends. It was so delicious and fun. You can go here by subway [ Noryangjin Station 노량진역 (Line 1 or 9). ]
Gwangjang Market
Here is Gwangjang Market. My favorite traditional market in Seoul because of street foods.
I like Bindaetteok, or
Korean mung bean pancakes, tteokbokki, sundae, fresh sashimi and
makkeoli, or Korean traditional rice wine. Many of the stalls are open
well past midnight, so it’s a great place for a relaxing night out in
traditional Seoul. Nestled between a block of buildings in the old Jongno 5-ga area of Seoul,
Gwangjang Market has long been famous with Korean shoppers, but is a bit
lesser-known to many foreign residents in the city. The market is the oldest in
Seoul, and is known for selling hanbok, or Korean traditional clothing,
as well as fabrics, linens and vintage clothing. One of the biggest draws to
Gwangjang Market, though, is the vast array of street food available to shoppers. You can go Gwanjan Market by subway. [ Jongno 5-ga Station 종로5가역 (Line 1), Exit 6 or 7 ]
