Namdaemun Shopping Area Revisited

I went back to Namdaemun Market to look around. I chose the day after Lunar New Year and the market wasn’t very crowded and many of the stalls weren’t open. Still there were quite a few people shopping.

Row after row of retail boths

Under the plastic sheets are restaurants

Clothing is the number one product for sale (I think)

It's a real shopping bazaar


Like Walmart without a roof

Many shops are closed on this day

There is always street food

Silkworm pupae (getting hungry?)

A restaurant with a roof

Ginseng shops are popular

There were also food stands that sold fruit, dried fruits, nuts and fish. And numerous other shops that I've already forgotten about.
