Gyeongdong Market
Korea's most famous Oriental medicine market has over
1,000 shops selling Oriental medicines, vegetables,
and Korean spices. Shoppers' senses will be besieged
by piquant smells and exotic sights. Stalls lining the
alleys sell a variety of rare medicinal herbs like ginseng,
and yeongji mushrooms.
There are also more than 3,000 types of medicinal herbs
that are grown by the sellers themselves. Ginseng, which
can be bought at over 300 of the shops and stalls, is
brought directly from the areas of production and can
be purchased cheaper than in department stores. Fresh
ginseng, ginseng extract and ginseng tea are some of
the bestselling goods.
